A sweet and playful Thai short film that serves as both a parallel retelling and a continuation of *Once in Memory: Love at First Sight*. Transfers student Film catches the attention of the bold and flirty Kong, who pursues him without hesitation. But Film isn't an easy catch—he matches Kong's energy, teasing and testing his intentions, turning their courtship into a delightful game of push and pull. Told from Film's perspective, this second installment re-examines their first meeting while adding fresh context and an extended ending that pushes the story forward. With natural chemistry, snappy dialogue, and a refreshingly simple approach to young love, *Just Found Love* captures the exhilarating uncertainty of falling for someone when you're not even sure what you want. It's a charming, low-stakes romance that proves sometimes the most meaningful stories are the shortest.

Episode data is coming soon.

I absolutely adored this! The first part was cute, but seeing everything from Film's perspective made it even better. Their flirting is so natural and fun—no over-the-top dramas, just two guys being honest with their feelings. The ending made me smile so wide. More BLs should be this simple and heartfelt!

I wanted to love this as much as the first part, but the repetitive timeline and that one line at the end just ruined it for me. It felt like they didn't trust the audience to understand subtlety, so they threw in a tired cliché. The acting is still good, and the editing is clever, but I can't recommend the full film—just watch the first part and imagine your own ending.

The cinematography in this short is really nice—soft lighting, good framing, and the use of slow-mo in the first part gave it a dreamy vibe. This second part felt a bit more rushed and lost some of that visual charm. Still, the color grading is warm and inviting. It's a solid watch for anyone who appreciates clean, aesthetically pleasing BL shorts.

I appreciate that this short tries to add depth by showing both perspectives, but the execution is messy. The parallel flashbacks don't reveal much new, and the ending line about 'I don't like guys' felt like a step back for queer representation. On the other hand, the core relationship is built on mutual teasing and respect, which is refreshing. Worth watching for the discussion it sparks.

The soundtrack is honestly the unsung hero of this film. Every scene is perfectly matched with a soft guitar or piano piece that amplifies the emotions—especially during the montage where they're just hanging out. I've been replaying the background music on repeat. A short film with a score this good deserves more recognition.
