Black and White are twins with a powerful connection. After their parents' separation, White’s father takes him abroad. One day, White feels an agony like death and finds out from a childhood friend, Tod, Black is in a coma following a vicious attack. Unable to endure the harm done to his brother in silence, and suspecting it was one of Black’s close friends—Sean, Gram, or Yok—who betrayed him, White disguises himself as Black to root out the traitor. But White doesn’t know his brother as well as he thought; he’s not behaving like the Black Sean knows, distrustful and uncaring about the feelings of others. Sean's suspicious. The difference gets under Sean's skin and makes him feel things he shouldn’t.
I was not expecting any BL to address such heavy themes, but I just wish it was handled a bit better. I feel like the ending could have been more polished, It really showed that they were rushing with the filming and airing. And some choices in the plot were there just for commercial sake, or to satisfy certain people. I feel like we could have done without the whole Gram/Eugene thing. But overall I really enjoyed it. I loved seeing all the beautiful people on screen. I mean I love Gun and Off, but I also could not stop staring at Mond, Sing, First and Gawin, and I fell in love with Film. It definitely is a very refreshing plot, that felt very real and brought the problems of common people. There were few hiccups, but overall I loved it.

“I Quit” - “Your plan gave me a life goal”
I was re-watching Not Me with a friend and Seans reaction to “Black” quitting hit so much harder, his reaction makes so much more sense to me now. Blacks plan gave Sean a ‘life goal’ a reason to continue living and “Black” quitting is essentially taking away Seans reason for being alive. That is why it shook him so much and why he was so emotional about it, even though Sean doesn’t necessarily like Black he is still the reason he’s alive and the thought of him quitting is equal to everyone else who left him all alone.
