Happy Ending (2024)

slice of life mini series

Overall: this is a 20 minute short movie that was originally released in 2022 and was broken up into 3 mini episodes (first episode was 5 minutes without the credits). Aired on Strongberry's YouTube channel over 3 weeks (1 episode per week)

What I Liked
- fighting over the diary
- realistic vibe
- production value

Room For Improvement
- beginning didn't hook me, and how I couldn't see the main character's face
- released such short episodes at 1 episode per week instead of all together
- the ending was open to interpretation with contradictory clues/evidence for each ending
- the title (just do an internet search on "happy ending slang" if you don't know what it means) but I didn't take off points
- the subtitles needed to stay a little longer on the screen as people read slower than when they are just listening (didn't take off points)

Short but sweet and poetically beautiful...

This is a 20 min short film produced by strong berry...one of the best bl creators...I love strong berry creations because they always focus more on the feelings and emotions of characters more than the storyline....the stories are straight to the point and simple but the characters are relatable and lovable...

So, I was first confused by how they split it into 3 ep which are 7 min each...Idk the reason they did it but Imo it would've worked a lot better if they'd release the full 20 min at once...but it's not a huge issue...

This isn't anything groundbreaking but this Sure is unforgettable one...

Pros:
-the characters are simple and relatable without any drama...
-the writing (dialogues) is immaculate...the way story is told through the perspective of Hyun..and how every emotion is delivered through poetic words from his diary...it's so interesting and beautiful...
-it looks rich and well made with sincerity even though the budget is obviously not high...



Cons:
There are no major cons... everything's great...
I just wish this was more longer...I wanted to see more of them...

Overall a excellent watch, very short and sweet...
This is going into my quick re-watch playlist...
I'll keep rewatching this once in a while...
