Comments for Gray Shelter episodes for those who finished watching

[EP-1] As it is a Korean production, it was only a few minutes per episode to be expected, but from start to finish this ep always managed to keep me attentive and curious to know more about what is happening in these family problems. Yoon Dae and Soo Hyuk, due to some family problem, Yoon Dae no longer had anywhere to live and ended up moving in with Soo Hyuk. With a deep friendship and love between two men who meet again and start to live together under the same roof due to some circumstances.
[EP-2] A dysfunctional family, a heterosexual romance that was not going well and soon comes to an end, the return of a friend from the past, these are the problems that Yoon Dae will have to deal with, until then he will return to this friend's (Soo Hyuk) house again. It's a friendship that isn't shown at first, but internally we know that Soo Hyuk has affection and cares for his friend, and it's clear that he's doing this to try to fill the void of not having had a united family, since since He soon has to leave school and go to work to help his mother with the bills.
[EP-3] And here we discover what Gray Shelter shows us "Passivity, darkness and opacity conveying a cloudy atmosphere, a deeply rooted sadness", And this is how I can describe this episode, the atmosphere of sadness and a bad relationship with his father makes it very clear how this affected Soo Hyuk, his father's apple analogy with the family's happiness status was one of the saddest scenes in the ep, which shows us that even though we are going through difficult times We still continue to show others that we are fine.
[EP-4] The tension of the two's argument before this scene leaves us ecstatic, thinking are they going to fight? Will he be expelled? No, no, he just followed the impulse of his heart and drove us crazy.
And when a lie can benefit you, do you continue with it? Here the lie was discovered and a new truth was exposed, Lee Yoon Dae couldn't hold back what he felt, but also people, who would hold back with Soo Hyuk in front of him? And then came what everyone had been waiting for, the moment when despite all the turbulence in their lives, they liked each other and kissed.
[EP-5 Final]
The contorted heart, restless and warm, but addictive. A reflective and interpretative episode, nothing is clear and everything is grey, we need to breathe in and out from start to finish to try to understand what is internal.
Gray Shelter, how is it so complicated to have a shelter? Why is it so difficult to understand? How to deal with this?
Having a shelter in the midst of the chaos of life becomes almost impossible to deal with, you are in a storm alone without asking anyone for help. It is evident in episode 2 that both are trying to escape emotional and domestic violence. The two tirelessly search for one thing in common: home.
From beginning to end we hear screams, screams in an empty gray place with no return, all these screams are not said on the screen, but in their poetic melody, looks, breathing, touches and silence. Shouts of "I love you", "I miss you" and "I need you".
The ending causes an explosion of thoughts, and leaves us with the question "What is shelter? What is a normal life?" The relativity of response is broad and different for each person, while normal life in one person's interpretation is having a place to return to at the end of the day, for another it is having someone to share a good meal with and go home together. Yoon Dae is looking for a home in Soo Hyuk and with that emotions clash.
Imagine a closed box and you're inside it screaming as loud as possible, but no one is hearing you because everything is closed, dark and gray, that's what happened in this work from beginning to end, although the ending was a little comforting with the two together, several topics were covered in a few episodes. And we know that it deserved a continuation to address the resolution of some problems.
That said, it is a cinematically impeccable work.
