  About Movie

No Regret
deals with the romance between a male escort and a man from high society. The seemingly banal melodrama tensely interweaves the bliss of love with the politics of class distinction in unique style. Leesong¨s characters, tangibly vivid as in his shorts, run toward the unexpected ending, to be remembered sorrowful yet surprisingly beautiful.

  Synopsis

Leaving the country orphanage where he grew up, Sumin comes to Seoul to study art design. However, after several tough jobs, he unexpectedly ends up working as a prostitute in a gay bar. Sumin refuses Jaemin who¨s been trying everything he could to win Sumin¨s heart. Sumin first met Jaemin as a driver and ran into him again at the factory, where Jaemin was the son of the owner and Sumin was a petty employee. Jaemin is from a rich and conservative family that doesn¨t accept his sexual identity. Can this relationship between two men with different backgrounds have a future? After experiencing a brief happiness as passionate lovers, Sumin and Jaemin fall into tragic situations.
