Push & pull dynamic into sweetness and partnership.

(I rate vertically filmed micro dramas on their own sliding scale.)
Fantastic chemistry with lots of intimacy, great acting all around, good plot with people using their heads smartly, the lead couple has a captivating push and pull dynamic (between seduction, true feelings, and misgivings) and then transition into sweetness and working together, and a satisfying happy ending. The leads are also together officially quite a bit before the end, which was awesome and increased satisfaction. Even the music was well done with this one and enhanced multiple moments.
Intimacy was fairly realistic and passionate, lots of high sexual tension moments, lots of kisses from lip presses to big movements, multiple makeout scenes, and some skinship. Breath sounds were kept in. Actors looked very comfortable with each other.

The ML manhandles the FL a couple times when he's hurt/frustrated, but is basically a green flag. The FL takes a long time to get over her misgivings and the ML makes a good argument on how selfish she's been now and in the last 5 years. But they finally clear up the misunderstandings and from there move forward together with full trust and support.

I love how the leads are smart enough to be successfully proactive with the main SFL antagonist. It's very satisfying how they, and their friends/family, deal with her craziness.
