Fast pace but good story

First of all, Ramil is the most adorable vampire. I also liked how the vampires weren't traditional and they didn't waste time spoonfeeding us that fact. I did feel like the pace was really fast, BUT the story was good and all the pieces for drawn out drama were certainly there - they just didn't take that route. I appreciate not dwelling through hurt feelings, misunderstandings, and betrayals... That said, sure, there was pacing of certain plot points that I do wish they took time to dive into.

Had so much potential

The trailer and pilot had strong direction, pacing, and writing, all of which, it pains me to say, the series lacked entirely. Someone said it feels like a school project made by friends. YES. The extended support cast/extras performances were rough. The writing was the biggest flaw, though. So much confusing nonsense and repetition. I love BoatOat and I hope they'll get to truly shine one day. Praying the company puts more effort into the next series or lets the actors move on to one that will.

Not at all terrible like everyone says

If you're looking for something bingeable with friendship banter, give it a try. Takes place over 5 days & the story felt plausible and appropriate for that. I also liked learning about Japan through their experience. If the purpose WAS actually an ad for Japan, it was way less forced than the drinks ads all over every other show. Sometimes people don't like certain things, like NC or slice-of-life, and it affects their entire perception. Really feels like that's what's going on w/these reviews.

It's short film done well

I tend to watch mostly long drama series, but I do really love short films. This was a beautiful short film about finding your way back to life after trauma. Of course we have some curiosity about things not fully addressed in the film, but that's very much the nature of shorts, and I do feel we had all the pieces we really needed for the core plot.

Also, definitely gotta say this was a truly well crafted vertical format short. It had great acting, cinematography, and editing! Rare qualities.

An easy, fun watch

First of all, I love a show with little, to no angst. I just had a good time watching this. The 3 guards plot point - incredible. Came out of nowhere to the point I yelled "WHAT?" outloud, but honestly it just fit the "why not?" vibe of the show. I enjoyed the chemistry of the leads and their general characteristics which, even though getting to the expressing of the (obvious) mutual feelings took a while, they still left so little fodder for misunderstandings to occur which I always appreciate.
