⚡Watch Challenge 2020: [Type] Watch a short drama. (15 minutes per episode or less)

Why I chose it:  It featured two actors that I enjoy watching, was relatively short, and had an intriguing concept.

Verdict: Both actors lived up to expectations in terms of performance, and I laughed out loud several times. And omg that moment (you know the one I mean)... If I was drinking anything at the time I probably would have snorted it everywhere.

Going from the comments/reviews I was expecting more but was a bit disappointed by the editing and production quality, though I realise it's a low-budget film. Look forward to seeing what the director can do with more budget!

Enjoyed LDK2 so much more than LDK, even though half the film is a bit of a recap on their relationship from the first movie. This is owing to the main actors being so much more likable than the first movie, with less manipulation. LDK2 is just sweet.
