Half a Kiss and Half a Spice (2021)

Cute short movie featuring spicy chicken obsession

Overall: a 15 minute short movie about two friends who start living together. Bought/watched on Vimeo.

Content Warnings: none

What I Liked
- the obsession with eating chicken was kind of funny
- the sweet moments including the subverted wipe mouth trope
- I appreciated the good continuity, a character said it was late and the clock was 10:10pm

Room For Improvement
- this really needed another minute or two at the end, it ended so abruptly. If the one guy had just passed out, but then they had a conversation in the morning when non-drunk, that would have been great.

very cute short film

This is exactly what you think it is by reading the description. It doesn't trick you. It's a cute, simple premise, and that's what it offers for the 14 minutes that it goes.

One of the best things about this short film is the way it jumps into the friendship between the two leads without hesitation, and you can tell that the development of the romantic relationship is going to be super genuine. From their silly little montages, to their play arguing, to the immediacy with which it's clear that that Sang Min is drooling over Min Soo, it all feels good.

It ended pretty abruptly, but I couldn't be mad at it, because the rest of the short film was so cute. It's well worth a watch!
