Cute, fun, & interesting, but...

I definitely enjoyed this drama. It had me coming back for more all the way until the end. Unfortunately the ending itself felt rushed and incomplete. There was so much about the after that we didn't get to know about, and even the last moment was too quick imo.

I really wish there had been more expansion into after the return and how everything that was left behind unfolded to become how it was when they made it back.

I liked how their connection was consistent the whole time, but it still felt somewhat incomplete and rushed etc. I think he deserved his own explanation in the "after" - and more about their family relationships with him!

Very enjoyable, but not without it's many many plot holes.

Emotional and Graceful

At first I was a little distracted by the amateur filming style and quality, but the plot took me away from this distraction and blossomed into something that made me tear up.

In general I am a sucker for the idea of ¨is this really over?¨ ¨is everything we had really gone?¨ and this concept attached to the trope of childhood friends???????? Absolutely not, I was totally targetted and am now completely destroyed.

Fortunately, this is a quick and touching watch - it´s not sad like you might have misinterpreted from the statement I made above, but it is emotional.

Overall, this short film is super well done even if some of the shots were a little awkwardly shot or poorly lit because the story is awesome and the actors performed beautifully as well.

Highly suggested that you watch this - the link to it on YouTube can be found in my notes about this film.

A too-short masterpiece

Spoilers are very light and at the very end of the review.

The plot of this web series is so wonderfully simple and so incredibly executed.

The chemistry of the leads is fantastic, the building of tension was delicate and steady, and the results were so worth the fact that this series is about 449340968420 episodes too short.

I will probably rewatch this whenever I need a cleanse from other shows and their drama and want to watch an incredibly short and yet fantastically well done gl.

Still not how cool some of the moments were and how awesome it was to see them on screen:

- when they sat down to watch a show and it was a LESBIAN SHOW??????????? It was such a small detail but clearly so thought out and served as a really beautiful touch that I deeply appreciated as someone who literally dreams of that experience

- when they went out and the person who approached was 1) androgynous in a masculine way which showed the diversity of attraction, but 2) not a man!!!!!! when it was a femme lesbian being approached! So refreshing!
