It's Only 7 Minutes Long! Just Watch It if you Love Perth and Talay. Don't read my review first!!

Although a must watch for Perth and Talay fans, it's honestly nothing too special.

The actors did well for what they got, but the plot wasn't anything worth talking about.

•❅✧❅✦ Story •❅✧❅✦

Rokko and Ratanapol were once a couple, but had to break up due to Ratanapol wanting to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Now, six years later, Ratanapol has achieved his dream and his a best selling actor. Rokko becomes a Thai-Japanese interpreter. He ends up interpreting for Ratanapol during his Japanese press conference. Their reunion is bitter at first, but Ratanapol goes off script and surprises Rokko with a sudden confession.

Honestly, seeing Perth and Talay on screen together brought tears to my eyes, but the plot instantly dried them. It feels like a poorly written one-shot fanfiction due to how boring the script was.

While Perth and Talay are great actors and have amazing chemistry, the plot really gave them nothing to work with. There was really no reason to cheer on Rokko and Ratanapol's love because there was no backstory showing how amazing their love was beforehand. We start off the film with a breakup scene, then go straight to the time skip. We also don't get any scene with them actually showing any sort of love for each other, so... yeah... Are they really a couple?

I understand that they only had 7 minutes to work with, but I've seen shorter music videos that give me more compelling stories, and that's with the artist's random singing cut-scenes. I really don't want to bash on this too much since it's so short, but I kinda wish we got some cute scenes of them together instead of the half-hearted angst they attempted to pull off. Maybe a cute drama would have been better? I don't know.

Please don't get me wrong, this is a really nice comeback for Perth and Talay fans, who have been waiting for years after My Engineer to see them finally get together. However, we've seen Perth and Talay in better dramas that this short 7 minute drama isn't really doesn't do much for us. It also doesn't help that we don't get any scenes with them visually expressing their love for each other.

Lastly, I know I bashed on it a lot in this review, but watch it first. It's honestly not that bad unless you decide to knit-pick at it like I did for the sake of this review.
