A short but sweet queer story that makes an effort to show the diversity of love.
I'm not sure how common this type of class project is, but it sure is an interesting setup for a romance. I'm a sucker for a well-executed fake dating to real dating love story even if these first four episodes are far too short to deliver on the idea. Even the occasional continuity error didn't distract me too much.
The acting is surprisingly natural, and I personally related to a lot of the awkward and wholesome moments. Hee Ram and Ga In are so different from each other in every way, yet they are drawn to each other like magnets. Hee Ram's struggle to figure out what to do with herself, how to act and what to say, from the beginning of their partnership right up until her embarrassed confession about wanting to spend time together really captured the nervous energy of someone who is new to taking these steps and I appreciate feeling seen.
My one complaint is that Ga In should not have kissed Hee Ram back while she was intoxicated, particularly since she knew that Hee Ram doesn't drink heavily very often - but technically they had both been drinking, so what do I know. At least they were both in control of their faculties (albeit Ga In more so than Hee Ram) and it didn't go farther than that, but it did make me recoil a bit because that's a messy situation waiting to happen.
Despite the open ending leaving us to wonder what happens next, I'd say this is a worthwhile 30 minutes of your time if you're looking for something cute.
