A Good Amateur Production

Friend or Lover was quite sweet and well done. It does have a number of flaws but because it's a small production I am very impressed with what has been achieved. For the amateur production sphere, I would actually give the show an 8. The show follows 4 friends at university and as we start to learn about them, we realise that two of them have mutual feelings for them. Sadly, both have a back stories with crime which could prevent them from actually being together. Part of the show explores this and how their struggles to understand and accept their feelings.

I thought the acting in this show was decent. It wasn't perfect but the actors were able to convey the story well enough that I could be invested watching it. For the actual plot and writing, it was a bit over the place, but it did come together in the end. If it was a longer show, I did wish it visited more stuff it introduced like jealousy in the friendship group and the stories of the other friends.

I really appreciate the efforts of the actors and every else involved involved in this production and I really hope we get to see more BL content from them. I recommend this show if you're looking something sweet to watch on a Sunday afternoon. It is total ~50mins which is not a huge investment.
