This Movie Left Me with More Questions than Answers

So I originally watched this for Greg because I loveddd him in Someday or One Day, and wanted to see some of his other works!! This def sounded like an interesting story and I thought the cute romance in the beginning was uber adorable and thoroughly enjoyable, however by the end of the movie I felt like I was left with more questions than answers....This was such a missed opportunity to really delve into the world of someone who is classified as a "hermaphrodite." And disclaimer: I will be using their english names used in the English subtitles!! And beware of possible huge spoilers!

As someone who had never heard of this word and has little to no knowledge of what a hermaphrodite is, I think it would have been beneficial if this movie went into a little more detail at least on Wendy's journey.....I felt like that was such an important part of the movie; her "changing" genders yet they completely skipped that whole process where I feel like we cant even feel as connected with her because she just disappears and then reappears....theres no backstory or reflection of what she went through during those years to get to how she is now?? Firstly...what kind of accident did Wendy and her friend have that caused them to be in the hospital?? Cause they were suddenly in the bathroom and then bam they are in the hospital where she finds out she's a hermaphrodite that has damaged her uterus & ovaries. The only thing they showed from the "accident" was a 5 second clip that I cant even remember what happened because it was so quick and basically useless to even show at that point.
Second, did she have to become a male because she had to take out her female parts?? Im just wondering if there was really no option to just stay as a female even without them...she just wouldn't be able to reproduce no?? or is it cause without those female parts "she's no longer classified as female" Im genuinely curious because I really don't know about these things...which if they went more in depth on this process maybe Id have a better understanding! Again, Im not expecting the director/screenwriter to go step by step on everything but they should have treated this as if their audience knows nothing about this topic and executed it in a way thats easily understood by the general public (but maybe its just me who doesn't understand)

Im glad that Tim/Wendy had her best friend and Shaun in her life because they really were pillars for her. The way Shaun unconditionally still loved her no matter what was soo beautiful and endearing. I kinda wish we were able to see more of his adjustment to the gender change of his first love because from the movie perspective...it just took a day...and in reality Im sure it takes way longer than that....sooo that part seemed unrealistic. The ending felt somewhat kinda rushed...idk, I definitely see why so many people are confused with that ending...because even with my interpretation, Im unsure but the way I saw it was that she was asking to be blessed in this life by God. She is still the same "person & soul" as she was; just outwardly she may look and seem different but that she still wants to be accepted fully. And believes that love can help her be reborn and accept herself in this "new gender."

All in all, considering the time restraint they had in telling this story in movie format, its not terrible...just not the best way they could've executed this story, because I really do think this storyline has a lot of potential to be a really good one with a lot of great lessons wrapped inside. It seems like this would've been better as a short drama series (few episodes) to really delve into the story and details!!
