A quick review for a quick film. The Coldest Day (2017), directed by Salomé Dubois, shows Hobin (Park Taesan) being firm in officially parting ways with his ex through getting one of his possessions back but he was unbelievably easily swayed by Jungsoo's (Jungyeon) desperate, mischievous, and calm manner. The actors, with the help of their great acting skills which were so natural, looked like people you'd meet on a street and that helped in making the film seem more realistic. The film was good despite being produced with technical problems and no budget according to one of the comments in this site. In my opinion, those like filler shots (idk the term) on the latter part of the film could've been like more clever. The one and only music isn't that memorable but I feel like it isn't really that important hence a solid 7 rating. The film's actually funny and you wouldn't appreciate it unless you watch it yourself.

I Go To School Not By Bus (2015), directed by Morris Ng, is basically about being who you are or what you want to be in an environment with people that may be toxic. The cinematography plus the choice of music makes the film feel really cozy. I'm not really that familiar with the language so I don't really know how good the main casts are in delivering their lines but there were some moments where the acting looks kinda awkward. The characters look cute together and their characters itself were great. It felt fresh seeing Hei Cheung (Vincent Leung) an openly gay character that is masc and athletic. The side characters' acting were also good, the teachers who care about you but they just really have this personality that's unlikable, the two fujoshis...

The ending was heartwarming; they did what they were preaching in the film which is to follow your dreams. The credit scene was also adorable. However, the post-credit scene, aka the real ending for me, was heartbreaking even though the fujoshis were there and Ming Wong (Zene Koo) said his parting words with a smile— which is what made it heartbreaking for me. Ming was gonna be away with the one he loves yet he was still happy because Hei taught him that way of thinking. Hei wasn't shown in the post-credit but he was probably happy too. It's a shame because we (I, at least) wanted this cute couple to be together even though it wasn't really confirmed that they were actually a couple.

The story overall was easy to digest but the title, which was the reason why I watched this film, wasn't explained. It probably does make sense for a native speaker. Unfortunately, the highest definition of this film available as I'm typing this is 360p, bearable but not at parts where the white subtitles are on top of something bright.

Highly recommend if you want something warm to fill up your boring 35-minute free time.

Some (2014) is a 10 minute film directed by Lee Seung Jun. Let me start off by saying that I really like the music they used in this film omg it's like weird, confusing, and sexual— perfectly describes the film. Once you get what's happening in the film, you realize that the plot is actually simple. There's only a few lines which i don't mind but that may be the reason why some people were confused with what's going on. The characters were unnamed except the bestfriend whose face or voice wasn't even shown. The actors were fine, especially the bestfriend's boyfriend ugh an eye-candy ???? a reason why the rewatch value's kinda high djskdjkjsdk

-MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW-
For those still confused, I'm gonna be telling the summary of what I understood on the film. So basically, the main character (played by Seong Joo Hyung) discovered that his bestfriend's boyfriend (played by Cha Kyung Hoon) may be gay because of the gay club ticket and their conversation about him starring in a play with two men as the main couple. This led to the main character fantasizing about having a (some)thing with him, hence the title "Some" (?).
