Acting classes? Skipped!
I liked the story idea: two students are forced to share a house for a month. The initial rivalry turns to friendship and more. These are two of my favourite tropes: cohabitation and enemies to lovers. I also liked the limited sets and crew: only two girls in a house. That was more than enough to tell the story. And that story should have been good since nothing is wrong with the screenplay. It is interesting, the two main characters are mirror images of each other (the way they move, little gestures, even right/left handed), there is also heavy use of inner monologues and talking to themselves in order to explain their feelings.And then there is the cast: two girls trying to act but failing miserably and in the process ruining what could have been a decent short web drama. They cant act, they speak in monotone, they have a single expression: dead fish.
What a waste of a good idea!

A little to no plot, mostly just vibes
And they were roommates!Honestly, I think it's hard to include an actual plot into a short web-series with only two characters (there aren't literally any other characters on screen apart from them) and with the whole drama taking place in a house where they live together. Thus it focuses mostly on their relationship as they are forced by circumstances to find compromises in their housing situation. Due to their different personalities, they clash a lot at first but later get to know each other better and discover that they actually complement each other pretty well.
There are some swoon-worthy and cute moments: oh, the accidental almost-kisses! Although the clumsy ways they ended up in these situations weren't that believeable, the chemistry between the leads made up for it. Some of the acting was cringey a bit, especially the thinking scenes, I think that part could have been done better. But I liked the ending and also the birthday part a lot!
Overall I give the rating 7/10, an easy-to-watch GL that had a bigger potential.

Good Morning Call if it was a low-budget GL
I really wish I didn't feel obligated to watch every scrap of lesbian cinematography in existence.The acting is terrible but it's not helped by the awful writing. If it weren't for the HQ cameras, it would feel like a two-day highschool project filmed in the living room while the parents were away.
The actresses were cute and it's clear that some effort was put in... but I wonder how long we will have to beg, even just to have similar projects and budgets approved for GL as there is for BL.
