I'm a Fool for You (2021)

a short miniseries with love triangles (or rectangles???)

Content Warnings: none I can think of

What I Liked
- visuals, the actors are cute
- production (like sound, subs, lighting) are actually pretty good for what I'm assuming is a very small budget
- the BTS clips at the end of each episode are fun to watch

Room For Improvement
- the crying itself was fine but when he raises his head it didn't look like he had been crying at all (i.e. no tears, red eyes or nose)
- the kiss wasn't the best but it definitely wasn't the worst that I've seen
- this season ends on a cliffhanger
- I'm watching the 2nd season and you really don't know who to ship or what the endgame is, there are multiple people liking other people

the acting was hmmm ok in parts, on other's - needed work. bottom line, u could see they newbies. maybe that was also the case with the productions crew?!? either way plot is very simple. more 3 guys that r gay and had feelings for each other meeting again, then "Three young boys, who were high school friends...".

we got Hin that's the MC, who is dreaming of making it big, as a singer - for now just got some fan's online. A'Yao his ex who is a total douche, that is more interested in hooking up then "doing"/finding anything permanent. not really likeable, even though there was a scene where he's with a hook-up and having a nightmare, about his ex after Hin (Sheldon) that cheated on him, which doesn't go to explain the over reaction in the form of a nightmare - but this so short there was almost no time to really get into the nitty-gritty (i guess?!?)...
he and Hin reconnect in more then one way. (u have to guess and assume a lot, as there is no "how they meet again"). as A'Yao doesn't follow Hin online and doesn't even know he has a channel, not to mention Hin's breaking contact with all his high-school buddies according to A'Yao. btw A'Yao wasn't even in the same school as Hin - so there is a bit of a mix-up - like i said there is a lot left for the viewer to 'connect the dots' to make senses of everything.

Hugo on the other hand was Hin's classmate and friend, who also had a crush on him and after confessing and getting rejected, they drifted apart (guessing). as Hin is going to the same collage, he run's into Hugo and on their second encounter (that Hugo initiates, cause he want's to clear the air) he asks Hin if they r still friends, making sure that even though he got rejected that doesn't mean they can't still be friends.
Hin reassures Hugo and even invites him to his place for drink's - which Hugo takes as a sign that maybe this time around Hin is ready and more receptive to the idea of them being together. Hin either obtuse or idk what, cause he surprise's Hugo with A'Yao - who walk's in all attitude, ignoring Hugo, making him the third wheel and bursting his illusion.

as we got alcohol, A'Yao drink's to oblivion turning belligerent knocking Hin down - who was trying to take him to "sleep it off", Hugo come's to Hin's defense and A'Yao get's into an altercation with him. Hin intervenes and take A'Yao out, coming back only to berate an apologetic Hugo (as if he was at fault - like WTF?!? that's the moment i wanted Hugo to walk out - heck the sec A'Yao showed up, i would've made and excuse and walked out on HIn's ass. but i digress...) Hin that until that moment showed little to no interest in Hugo - well only the platonic kind - offer's to massage Hugo's injured shoulder, ordering him to undress - while looking around to make sure that no one was watching - dude wanted Hugo (!) but Hugo is the smart one, who knows he deserves better then to be a one night stand, that happened cause they were drunk and then he could be brushed off - "wakes up" from the fantasy, apologizes and walks away. leaving a very flustered Hin wondering WTF lol that was really a good end - and even if i didn't know who i was rooting for, in that moment - Hugo became the one ! cute one off that really doesn't go anywhere.
