What happens

No Regret (Korean: 후회하지 않아; RR: Huhoehaji ana) is a 2006 South Korean film and the feature film directorial debut of Lee-Song Hee-il, based on his earlier short Good Romance. No Regret is also regarded as "the first 'real' Korean gay feature", (although earlier South Korean films, such as Road Movie, released in 2002, have dealt with gay relationships), and is also the first South Korean feature to be directed by an openly gay Korean filmmaker.
