This is a review that requires only a summary of the story because a lot depends on whether you can accept the rather illogical story.

- Neung and Keng have sex when they are drunk. (It's not even clear if it's consensual as Keng later say that he would not have done it to Neung if he had not been drunk. But it doesn't seem like Neung was raped either.)
- Neung seems unable to accept what has happened and quarrels with Keng.
- But later on, Neung looks for Keng in his room again. And they have sex AGAIN, not exactly in a very loving way.
- But Neung and Keng become very loving ... the next morning (maybe the sex did wonders??)
- It turns out that Neung has been dating a girl (who appears and denies to a friend that Neung is gay). Yeah, and also, for some reason, people are gossiping that Neung and Keng are dating (maybe someone has been stalking them???).
- Cut to Tui asking Neung if he's gay. Neung denies it, BUT Tui says that he isn't going to have any gay friends and leaves. Two other friends leave with Tui, leaving Neung alone.
- Neung goes to Keng's room, but realizes that he has left the room, leaving behind only a note. (Aren't these two people in a relationship? What reason is there for Keng to leave so abruptly?) We don't know for sure why he has to change schools AGAIN, but it may have something to do with his sexual orientation. Who knows?
- Neung is depressed, but Tui approaches him and apologizes.
- Apparently Tui's homophobia has magically disappeared after watching My Bromance, which has made him realize that he shouldn't discriminate against friends who are gay. The other two friends (the ones who leave with Tui in the earlier scene) are there too--apparently they don't have a mind of their own and simply behave like Tui.
- Cut to Neung and Tui having a strikingly similar conversation to the conversation Keng and Neung have had about the fish in the tank And ... Neung and Tui end up having sex/being a couple ... possibly with Neung's girlfriend (who never appears again) in the dark.

I understand the constraints of such a short series (more like a short film). But taking out the conversation between Neung's girlfriend and her friend and removing the two friends who come and go with Tui would have given space for more development for Keng and Tui.
