this is a queer film made by a queer filmmaker

I liked the story it told, and I got the point it was trying to tell. I have a short attention span, especially if it doesn't catch my attention straight away, so I will most likely not watch it again. Also, I would like to mention that this short film isn't made to be all rainbows and sunshine like usual Taiwan queer stories show to the world; it's supposed to show how in some cases, this is someone's reality. The reality is that toxic masculinity is very much present in the society that everybody lives in and influences how people act in everyday life. In order to fit in, he acts and does things in the same way that his friends do, and although the main character is drawn to the victim, the only way he knows how to get closer to him is what he sees in everyday life. He does, however, try to lessen the punishments in ways others can't see. It's not like other queer stories that are portrayed in which the main characters are madly in love, but it still very much is one, whether you'll agree or not.
(I can't remember if there was music and what it sounded like if there was, so I gave it a 5.)

The perfect cherry on top

I found this over a year since I watched the show, I had no idea this existed?....let me say this was entirely too short!! I love the show, but I love this even more. I wanted to see more of their domestic life when I watched the show and this little epilogue clip was the cherry on top of a show I already loved. The domestic vibe between them is very adorable, and the last sentence made me want more from them than I already did. The chemistry was also very apparent; I don't know if this will make sense but it gave a settled but still very much in-love couple rather than the show that gave a fairly new couple still learning the ropes.
