I am an absolute sucker for second-chance romance, and this short film delivered all the angst and longing I could want. Akai and Leo Kai had such palpable chemistry—every time they were on screen together, I held my breath. The flashback scenes were heartbreakingly sweet. Definitely a hidden gem for anyone who loves emotional BL.

I wanted to like this more, but the short runtime really hurt the storytelling. The conflict felt forced because we never truly understand why the ex left in the first place. The ending also felt rushed and a bit too neat. The acting was decent, but the script needed another pass to flesh out the characters.

Visually, this short film is a treat. The warm, desaturated color palette in the present versus the brighter golden tones in the flashbacks really underscored the emotional contrast. The intimate close-ups during the confrontations captured every micro-expression beautifully. I just wish the director had experimented a bit more with the blocking.

I appreciate that the film tries to tackle the messy reality of wanting someone who hurt you, but I felt it gave a bit too much leeway to the ex's manipulative behavior without clear accountability. The central question 'Do you love yourself or me?' is powerful, yet the resolution didn't fully earn the self-love arc. Still, it sparked good discussion.

The piano-driven score really elevated the aching, melancholic vibe of this short film. The main theme, which plays during the key flashback, is simple but haunting—I actually looked it up after watching. The sound design was subtle but effective, with ambient sounds that made the silences feel heavy. More BL shorts should invest in music this thoughtfully.
