This was the sweetest short film I've seen in a while. Fung and Ho's chemistry is so natural—I felt like I was right there with them sharing dessert. The way they smile at each other melts my heart. Absolutely recommend to anyone who loves soft, real romance.

It's a nice little film, but honestly it's too short to build any real depth. The conflict feels rushed, and the ending left me wanting more resolution. The acting is decent, but the storytelling could have used another ten minutes to breathe.

The cinematography is gorgeous—soft lighting during the dessert scenes, and the use of Hong Kong's neon signs creates such a moody, intimate atmosphere. Every shot feels like a painting. Even if the story is simple, the visuals alone make it worth watching.

I appreciate that the film doesn't shy away from showing the quiet pain of hiding your identity. The scene where they have to pretend not to know each other in public felt painfully real. It's a small but important step for Hong Kong LGBTQ+ cinema.

The background music is lovely—gentle piano and a soft guitar theme that perfectly matches the sweet-and-sad tone of the film. I actually searched for the OST afterwards. It's subtle but it really carries the emotional weight.
