Love Station (2021)

A TikTok bus romance compilation.

The concept of two strangers meeting on a bus and falling in love at first sight is cute and doesn't really need the hours-long investment that would come with a full-length drama, but this collection of bus ride romance fantasies wasn't for me. There isn't much of a plot to be found and the characters don't have a chance to grow or establish themselves as individuals during the 1 minute or less that they're on screen for each scenario, so by the end I felt like I knew less about them than when I started watching.

It's great short form content for people who really enjoy the TikTok style. The production value is impressive for what it is, the actors are good in their own right, and the behind the scenes video adds a lot of charm. As it is, this miniseries doesn't offer much to grab onto aside from the scenario and the aesthetic of a whirlwind romance. Still, I appreciate that it wasn't left open-ended even if most of the scenarios were very samey!
