Plot
Love always comes at an unexpected time and place. The depiction of a relationship shared between two boys in Goodbye-day shows that it is also absent of reason. Although they are of different economic backgrounds, each is plagues with frustrationsbe it their respective parents’ obsessions, indifference or the trauma of abuse. When Ho-jin asks Woo-min about the moment he fell in love with him, he simply responds “You suddenly popped into the viewfinder of my camera.” Goodbye-day is a ‘queermelodrama’ that follows a friendship between two boys and its transformation into love. However, the film only mention queer issues as its story is told with the typical conversions of tear-jerking- melodramas. It tries to show an innocent and pathetic love shared between these two boys. But, it is the odd tension between the adult Woomin and his young and beautiful mother who dedicated her whole life to her son that creates intrigue. Just as love appears without warning, relationships also crack during unexpected moments.
