Romantic Station (2020)

Cute!

Learned about this short film from a BL Instagram account. It was only about 7 minutes so I had to watch it! And it was cute and adorable though a bit rushed (which is understandable as it is a short film). I would love to be able to see this short film fleshed out into a full-length BL series. That would be great!

Train and train stations have always been romanticized in films and TV shows. Whether it is a departure of a loved one, the arrival of a loved one or a chance encounter with a future loved one. Trains and train stations hold a special place in my heart. Whenever I ride the train in my hometown, I secretly wish that I will cross paths with a future lover, that I will catch someone's attention and that they will approach me, making small talk or ask for my number. This has yet to happen and I doubt that it will, but still, I still hope...

Love, Again, on the Tracks

Jim is a location scout for a film production company, and he finds himself at a train station. He knows it is a complete cliche to set a love story there, and yet, when Toy rests his head on Jim's shoulder, he comes to understand why train stations work so well. There is a lot to like in this short movie - the location is appealing, the cinematography is pretty good and the actors are cute and look good together. These actors are so new, Ohm Pasawit's Instagram (he played Jim) was set to private. He's so new he isn't even in MDL! I liked the forwardness of Toy and the playful exchange between them. These aren't confused characters - they're gay, and they're going to hook up. If that isn't romance for the modern age, then I don't know what is.
