Girlfriend Project Day 1 (2022)

very short and messy review

THEY SHOULD OF MADE THIS FUCKING LONGER

ok im upset i thought we were getting a 10 ep gl to only find out its 4eps long . i love both actors and they really did well with their role i like that they didnt shy away from the kissing i wasnt expecting it i thought they would just peck for like 10 seconds or something idk. its nice to actually see a good gl with good rep most gls have bad stereotypes and toxicity in it and sad endings. not only did we get a happy ending but a gl where the actors actually are convincing most gls seem like the girls dont even wanna be near eachother. they had great chemistry you could feel the tension

now what i didnt like
since this is a small low budget i wasnt going to pick out anything but their editing was messy and these mistakes could of easily been looked over but i couldnt help but notice a few frames had things missing or out of place or them leaving the bag dumb things but it doesnt affect you watching it unless u critique shows u would notice. it should of been longer and the ending didnt feel like a ending maybe there will be a season 2. i felt like this could of been a great gl if they extended it.

rewatch value is high its like 30mins long not even its a easy watch if your looking for a good gl.

Heavily biased review...

How i stumbled upon it...am crediting it to the good karma i have collected this year.
Loved it...
Its 5 minutes per episode of 4 episode but it eclipsed so many shows.
Leaves a big fat smile on your face.
I need a director to pick up on this storyline...the nerd girl and delinquent girl.
Please...pretty pleasee.
No critic cause their is nothing to have an issue with
It came and delivered what it was supposed to do in 20 minutes full clip.
Am so glad they had no intro music cause that woukd just have wasted more airing time for the characters

Yuri ฟินจิกหมอนสุดๆ

The person who wrote this story not messing around. They are on a mission to make us smile and warm our hearts. As someone who has been repeatedly disappointed and or underwhelmed with GL dramas, I was not ready for the amount of cute and sweet that this writer unleashed upon us. Like how dare lol.

I love everything about this web drama. The chemistry between the actresses is absolutely lovely. The execution is solid.

Ah wait. I do have one complaint. Why are the greatest GL stories always so short, but I’ll take what I can get.

Thank you, RedQ! They really be doing us right.

A too-short masterpiece

Spoilers are very light and at the very end of the review.

The plot of this web series is so wonderfully simple and so incredibly executed.

The chemistry of the leads is fantastic, the building of tension was delicate and steady, and the results were so worth the fact that this series is about 449340968420 episodes too short.

I will probably rewatch this whenever I need a cleanse from other shows and their drama and want to watch an incredibly short and yet fantastically well done gl.

Still not how cool some of the moments were and how awesome it was to see them on screen:

- when they sat down to watch a show and it was a LESBIAN SHOW??????????? It was such a small detail but clearly so thought out and served as a really beautiful touch that I deeply appreciated as someone who literally dreams of that experience

- when they went out and the person who approached was 1) androgynous in a masculine way which showed the diversity of attraction, but 2) not a man!!!!!! when it was a femme lesbian being approached! So refreshing!

A very cute short series

A very cute short series about two girls who have to work together for a school project where they have to pretend to be a couple, but end up actually falling for each other.

I liked this one. The chemistry between the two actresses was really good. My only real issue with this series is that it's to short. It only has four episodes and since it's a web series, every episode is really short. I'm hoping for a season 2 cause the ending is way to weird.

+ great cast with incredible chemistry
+ cute moments between the two girls
- to short (but that was expected from a web series)

Short & Sweet

The premise of the story actually doesn't promise much. A typical and clichéd story about two completely opposite people - a hard-working person 1 and a person 2 who doesn't really care about the subject in general - who are supposed to work together for a project in their class. It might seem like that but I promise you that it's so much more.

The best part about it was how absolutely everything felt realistic. Despite the shorthness the way how the two girls and their relationship with each other developed didn't feel rushed at all. The story was flowing nicely, there was sweet and cute moments as well as a great kissing scene!

Some more details I really liked about this drama:
* The supporting teacher who made the mock couple project
* Hee Ram's little list about what she wanted to do on the date
* Ga In's ear piercings and rings!
* The whole club scene
* Their movie date at the end

Overall a 9/10 rating from me and I absolutely can't wait for a second season!

A short but sweet queer story that makes an effort to show the diversity of love.

I'm not sure how common this type of class project is, but it sure is an interesting setup for a romance. I'm a sucker for a well-executed fake dating to real dating love story even if these first four episodes are far too short to deliver on the idea. Even the occasional continuity error didn't distract me too much.

The acting is surprisingly natural, and I personally related to a lot of the awkward and wholesome moments. Hee Ram and Ga In are so different from each other in every way, yet they are drawn to each other like magnets. Hee Ram's struggle to figure out what to do with herself, how to act and what to say, from the beginning of their partnership right up until her embarrassed confession about wanting to spend time together really captured the nervous energy of someone who is new to taking these steps and I appreciate feeling seen.

My one complaint is that Ga In should not have kissed Hee Ram back while she was intoxicated, particularly since she knew that Hee Ram doesn't drink heavily very often - but technically they had both been drinking, so what do I know. At least they were both in control of their faculties (albeit Ga In more so than Hee Ram) and it didn't go farther than that, but it did make me recoil a bit because that's a messy situation waiting to happen.

Despite the open ending leaving us to wonder what happens next, I'd say this is a worthwhile 30 minutes of your time if you're looking for something cute.

Beauty & the Beast

A naive, inexperience and innocent young woman falls for a brash, rude and fake rebellious girl in her class. They are put together for an assignment where they have to pretend they date. The first girls kindness melts the second girl's icy heart.

So nothing new and revolutionary here: just a simple story of opposites attract, enemies to lovers. I found the characters a bit extreme in their kind: the nice girl is extremely nice, the rude girl is extremely rude. So one evening they meet in a club. The nice girl cannot dance (I always thought that you just needed to listen to the music and move but I guess there are tone deaf people who cannot do even that! granted!) so she sits and downs half a bottle of vodka (aaahhh, liquid courage!) and that helps her stake a claim on the rude girl who is oh! so touched by that!

Even though this is a short webdrama, it is just a string of romcom clichés starring unlikable characters. That's what I did not like about it: not the clichés but just bad writing. The talk by the teacher at the beginning of the class, though was excellent and I think we should all listen to those wise words about love and relationships and respect. But then they went down the politically correct woke university road asking about pronouns, gender etc. Nice thinking!

Production obviously did not have much money and it shows: it is cold and sharp and it sounds empty. I did not notice any particular song or music, if you do not count the one it the club.

It is a correct single watch which has the merit of being a GL which are few and far between so as more are made, the better they will get!

A perfect gem

This is lovely film making. My favorite shot? The quick cut to their feet when Hee Ram rises up on her toes to kiss Ga In.
I want many more seasons of this.

Let's see Day 2, Day 3, Week 2, I could keep going.
