There were many drawbacks to this production and it showed. The 2 min choppy breaks were not pleasant to watch. The acting was over dramatic and poor at times. The location was somewhat on par with the storyline. These short shorts can be beautiful like Match Play and truth be told most aren't. Yet, still, I kept watching on Shortime app because it was interesting. The themes touched on were relevant and impactful. Parental emotional abandonment. Abuse. Religion and homosexuality. Teacher student sexual relationship. What is love? Betrayal and friendhsip.

Yuho and Jin-gu story is the same but the interest lies in the outcome. Both of them trapped by circumstances beyond their control, come face to face and in the end, after holding my breath for one minute, were saved.

There were moments when the acting was good and there were times it was not. Yuho main expression at the beginning was that of apathy or depression. It is only the last 15 episodes we see some life in his performance. Jin-gu was more pleasant but rather limited in what was required of him. When they are together, the connection is there. Had this been properly funded, and allowed to develop properly, could have been a go to. The themes were not allowed to end naturally. I did enjoy it for what it was.
