Friend Or Lover (2021)

The chemistry is no joke! Recommend it!!!

So funny how a supposedly "low budget" Taiwanese BL drama is better than "high budget" Thai BL dramas. Pretty cute 70 minute short series, I really liked it.

The actors are obviously very good at acting, the filming and directing seems pretty fine too. Not sure where the other reviewers got "amateur" from. Non of the actors is an "Amateur." They seem very into and passionate about acting.

They're very hot so that's a "plus." Their chemistry is so strong and natural.

Such a sweet friends to lovers story. I LOVED the OST. A true man that knows how to keep what's his. No drama, no misunderstandings.

Very pleasantly runtimed taiwanese BL, the short length doesn't make you lose anything: you only lose the added cr*p that makes you WAIT. Both the guys are cute, though their looks are not perfect. One of the guys needs to lose the purple highlights he still got from some previous decade and the other has some serious wrinkle around his eye, actually both of them are not smooth faced, so just note that they are not young boys. Not that it matters, but usually guys like them have most their energy spent over their careers and/or children, instead of messing around all the time, so the lifestyle presented in the series kinda doesn't fit. I liked the 1st episode the most, it already had everything in those 10 minutes:) Had I watched it only, I might actually have given higher rating;-)

The further episodes actually had the feeling of the repeated joke. Or added characters that weren't necessary. It's low budget, which is very obvious but at least during the 1st episode one is entertained enough to not mind it. Episode 2 had practically nothing added, episode 3 added stuff I like to skip. Episode 4 had some badguy stuff, with bad actor (/wrong type) as the bad guy, and the background song which didn't match the scene (only it's not funny this time, it's morelike ridiculous). Looks like the wisdom "Less is More" applies even on such short timed series as this. Episode 5 had kiss scene. I didn't find episode 6 at first, then I found it having 5 minutes only, so I wasn't sure whether that was a full cut. I only knew that by then I found the background songs annoying. The final I found had 6 minutes and it featured a confession involving giving the guy balloons (seriously) and more listening to grossly unfitting music style background songs (which played loud). It looked like they put grown-up actors into a home-made kids movie.
