Because you are you
If you need to watch something short and cute in order to cheer yourself up, this is a nice example of comfort bite size movie.Directed by Supakhit Povarasoonthorn
Starring: Aksornkorn Jariyakhuntorn
Jaruphat Sareeniwat
Having broken up with his latest girlfriend, Two seeks comfort with his best friend Kenji and they end up spending the night together. The day after, while Kenji, at ease, enjoys their outing, Two is torn and keeps changing his mind.
This is nothing new or revolutionary. The story is as old as time: best friends who become lovers. The question is whether they are going to stay friends, as Two wishes or it is already too late since the lines have been crossed, as Kenji thinks.
The story is well written though the production looks a bit cheap, camera work is good but the sound is not. I guess they couldn't afford to record the sound after filming in a sound studio. On the other hand, the fact that they recorded sound while filming made the final scene on the highway overpass, a location extremely noisy, all the more real since the actors had to shout to be heard. This added unexpected poignancy to the events!
The acting was noticeably better as the story progresses: while at the beginning the actors were obviously uncomfortable and the dialogue delivery was stilted, as soon as they left the room, their acting skills were revealed! In the final scene on the bridge, they show a range of emotions, especially Two as he tries to figure out how important Kenji is to him. Kenji himself is very sure of his feelings and the actor manages to portray that really well.
The piano music accompanying the film was sweet and it fit the events ! They even used the piano version of My Love and..., which was part of the soundtrack to the Kdrama The King:Eternal Monarch! Nice!
I have no idea who made this film. There is a youtube channel Boom Pictures Official but it is in Thai so I could not understand anything. But this short movie is a promising effort, not too amateurish, with some good acting and writing. And at 22min, short and sweet, nothing to regret!

TOO CUTE??
I Must say as a BL freak I have seen better but it was still cute !!If I watched this as my first ever bl I would think its the best bl short film ever but since I've watched many other bl movies and bl series , I think my standards towards bl films/series excepted more. I think that's why most people look down on this film although I would also say that this is almost like what you call a typical" soft bl " and from what I experienced ,most bl fans want more then soft love and almost 70% of then wants spicy scene's. I do recommend it to people who like soft bl's .❤❤❤?
short yet made me smile and blush .I would say in my opinion it's worth the watch.?

Less "friends to lovers" and more "struggling with one's feelings"
I was looking for a “friends to lovers”. However, this doesn’t really portray the trope as it should be. It’s more of a struggle with one’s feelings.It was also a bit boring to watch.
Kenji’s actor is pretty good, he can bring emotions to the screen just by looking at someone.
The quality feels natural, overall everything felt natural and not like a scripted drama (which is a good thing).
The fake kisses annoy me every time tho. It’s not much part of the story but... idk lol.
Overall it’s an okay but not rewatch worthy.
I would’ve liked to see more of them as friends, before they entered the romantic relationship status.
