The Young Master and the Tea-Picking Girl (2020)

Where it lacks in plot, it makes up for in romantic chemistry

I feel like this particular micro-film had us come up with just a tad-bit too much on our own to fill in the situation/plot around these two. Even just a moment leading into the beginning or during the "climax" could have really developed the story more thoroughly. There was just a dab too many fluff seconds for the situation that the characters appear to be in.

That being said, you could feel the love that the characters had for each other in every loving, awkward, and confident gaze between them. And the visuals for the characters and setting are stunning. Paired with the lovely music (as this does double as a music video of sorts), This was a really memorable project that I do not regret watching at all.

Short film or Intro looking for a drama?

This really, really short film is just like a really good intro that to any C-drama, the type that spoils the plot so you should probably skip it to watch the 50 episode drama instead... With pretty fluffy cinematography, music and flowers...

But since it is a GL, chances are this is all we get, a teaser of romance between a tea picking girl and a wounded master... longing, and less exchange of words than I can count on my fingers.

What we got was however sweet, decently performed and did incorporate quite a lot for having so little time and words. Above all it will only take 5 minutes of your time to watch it, so if you have read all these words in this review you might as well go watch it... so off with you, go watch and enjoy ;)
