In this tender 7-minute South Korean short film, we follow Yu Yong and Tae Jin, two high school friends immersed in a cozy homework session. Their comfortable silence is interrupted by a knock at the door—revealing Kim Min Jin, a bubbly friend of Tae Jin. What starts as a casual study break quickly ignites a spark of jealousy in Yu Yong, as he watches Tae Jin laugh and chat with Min Jin. Through subtle glances, hesitant hand touches, and a shared popsicle that keeps changing color, the film quietly explores the awkward, fluttery tension of a crush caught between friendship and longing. The final, clumsy attempt at a kiss becomes a poignant metaphor for first love—messy, uncertain, yet achingly sweet. With its soft pastel visuals and relatable teenage angst, 'His, Ice Cream' captures the universal ache of wanting someone who might not even know you're there.

I wanted to love this—the start with the inching hands was adorable—but the jealousy scene made zero sense. A high-five and a weird side-hug? That's not flirting. The ice cream kept changing between scenes, which broke all immersion, and that 'kiss' looked like they were avoiding each other's lips. Honestly, holding hands would have been far sweeter. Painfully awkward.

For a 7-minute short, it's okay but hilarious. The voiceovers cut out randomly and there's this weird silence with only background music—no ambient sounds at all! The acting wasn't terrible, but the ice cream changing in every clip had me laughing more than the romance. Watch it if you have nothing better to do, because it's free and short.

I'm a sucker for friends-to-lovers and this little gem hit me right in the heart. Yes, the kiss is awkward, but that's exactly how first love feels—messy and real. The hand-holding scene under the desk gave me butterflies. I love that it doesn't pretend to be perfect; it's just two shy boys trying their best. Totally worth 7 minutes of your life.

The color grading is lovely—soft, warm pastels that make everything feel like a memory. I appreciated the close-ups on the ice cream and the way the camera lingered on their fingers. But the glaring continuity errors (watch the popsicle!) pulled me out of the dreamy mood. A bit more polishing on the props would have made this a visual treat.

I appreciate the attempt to show jealousy without toxicity—Yu Yong never acts out or blames anyone. But that kiss scene felt forced. There's no clear moment of consent between the two boys, just a sudden lean-in that looks more uncomfortable than romantic. For such a short film, they could have used a moment of eye contact or a quiet 'can I?' to make it wholesome.
