You Should Watch It
This is a spoiler-free review, however this is like one sentence that's sort of spoiler-y (except if you looked at the tags/genres, it's not really a spoiler lol) so I'll put a spoiler warning before I say it.
By the way, this show or short film would only take around 45 minutes to complete the entire thing so I definitely think you should watch it if you haven't already!
Story- I actually really like the format and it wasn't confusing for me because I chose to watch it in the following order: episode 2 'She', then episode 1 'He', and then finally episode 3 'It'. For me, that order is perfect and makes the most sense. Jeff said in the reaction video of episode 3 that He She It uses more imagery (than excessive dialogue) to show the story and meaning behind things. But the show also leaves room for interpretation, which I think is really good. The ending leaves you with this feeling of wanting more of an explanation but also not really needing one. That probably won't make sense until you watch it yourself. This might be an unpopular opinion but episode 3 was actually my favourite; maybe because it's the episode that allows you to connect all the dots and really feel for the characters. Obviously this is just a small production and more of a 'short film' than anything else, but I have to give props to the cinematography and storytelling. The entire concept is really great and intriguing. Honestly, it would have been absolutely amazing with a higher budget and longer run time. But it was still really good.
Acting/Cast- Pretty good. I love Jeff and think he improved over time in 'Ingredients' but his acting in this wasn't amazing. Don't get me wrong, it was good and for the most part, it was really great. But sometimes it did feel a little unnatural (like, I don't think he really felt the character enough to act out some scenes naturally.) I only really felt this way about his acting during the scenes where he was angry and a little bit during the scene with the friends in episode 2. However, he did really great in episode three (excluding maybe the scene with Meen) and when he acts with Game too. They play off of each other super well. Gameplay did a really good job also. I can't wait to see them in KinnPorsche!
Music- I said it in my review of 'Ingredients' and I will say it again... I'm in love with with Jeff's voice. He's such an amazing musician and honestly, one of the best Thai singers (out of BL actors) that I've come across. Him and also Billkin (from My Ambulance & I Told Sunset About You) are my favourites when it comes to singing.
Rewatch Value: I valued this at a 6/10 because I think it requires rewatching to get the full viewing experience (especially if you watch it in release order) but also, after that, I probably wouldn't rewatch it. {SPOILER AHEAD SO SKIP IF YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW} The reason I personally won't rewatch it is because it's sad. But it's an amazing experience to watch it once or twice. So hence the 6/10.
Overall: RECOMMENDED!
