How to make a nice film with the same old story

If I have to complain about this short film, I will say that the story is nothing original. Boy meets boy, boys fall in love. But oh, why does it feel so nice to watch? Sure, the two actors are good looking, but that doesn't make a film nice to watch in itself. I like the way the short film isn't pretentious; it just tells this simple, totally unoriginal story well. The story is told from Kong's point of view, and we can guess that he likes Film from the start is trying to attract his attention by snatching away his ball in the court and perhaps, even before that, by acting like he's upset that Film is sitting at his table in the canteen. On Film's part, he could also have liked Kong from the start and is trying to get Kong's attention by sitting at the table,

The dialogue is competently written, and the acting of the two young actors is surprisingly natural. The actor for Kong is able to convincingly exude confidence, shyness and innocence when the situation calls for it. We see this in the scene in which he is messaging Film on social media through his phone. There's no one to act out the scene with him, but his expressions are on point.
