more time, please.
I don't like to write the synopsis, what i can say about this movie is: watch carefully, slowly and try to enjoy the mind of the main characters.In the beginning I was confused, I was bored, but slowly the movie started to catch me, the actors are surprisingly good, the story itself is confusing but I think it's worth it. This movie doesn't have a good ost, doesn't have a fantastic history but the talent of the actors carry the movie. I really want to see a second movie, what is missing is the time, with a little bit more time we can see art in this movie.
In general its that, if you watch it after you read this review, it is a good movie.

Pretty and quiet
I believe this short film deserves at least one watch. It's a coming-of-age story about a boy, Yi Jie, who slowly comes to some realizations about his feelings toward his girlfriend Pei Xuan and his art teacher Cheng Qi.I don't recommend watching if you're looking for an exciting plot, because this short focuses for the most part on the feelings of the characters. Rather than looking for events, it's important to pay close attention to the reactions of the characters to certain things and the dynamics they have with each other. The acting is pretty good and the camera work is interesting as well - I was able to understand what was going on without being spoonfed the entire picture.
The tone is a little bittersweet, as it usually is with coming out stories about high schoolers, but I didn't mind at all. The 100 apples idea was actually pretty cute and made the ending sweeter to me.

STORY: An art student misreads cues from the teacher and believes that the teacher is interested in him, all the while he questions his sexuality and his ongoing relationship with a female classmate. Nothing really stood out here in this short, unrequited love story. ACTING/CAST: This really had a bare, bland story that left little for the actors to actually do. Not really any emotions to express.
MUSIC: I liked the credits.
REWATCH VALUE: Not enough here to give it a second go.
OVERALL: Completely forgettable and a bit boring. Only a couple events happened, like the coming out scene, but they are treated rather indifferently, or at least I felt indifferent about it.

Unrequited Love
Seperti biasa, jangan terlalu berharap dengan film pendek. Yang perlu Anda lakukan hanyalah menikmati tiap adegan.Story:
Kisah cinta bertepuk sebelah tangan dengan ending yang menggantung. Dari awal hingga akhir cerita kurang berkesan. Namanya juga film pendek.
Interest things:
Adegan menarik dari film ini yakni pelukisan 100 apel oleh Yi-Chieh. Itu cukup menarik untuk dilihat.
Lesson:
"Apa yang kita jalani belum tentu membuatmu bahagia. Jadi ikuti apa kata hatimu."
