Right Time Right You (2023)

I don't care if this is biased, it broke me

I cannot stress enough how beautifully painful these two episodes were in my eyes. I've read reviews claiming it's slow but... isn't life like that?
especially after breaking up with who you thought was meant to stay forever
especially when you're trying so hard not to ruin everything
especially when you're trying to let go and let heal

this story felt like a lonely night
like a slow summer evening
like doubt
like expectations
like smiling through tears

it's directed beautifully

I actually do not want to analyze it. I just want to let it was over me with is mundanity in a way I'll never recover from.

It was a bit slow, but that's what it needed

I feel like this one is really slow and kind of uneventful, but not in a bad way. I like how Phat is given time to get over his ex and is not just jumping into a new relationship. At least I think he is given time. The timeline of the whole thing is a bit unclear. It’s obvious Phat broke up with his ex right before he was introduced, but it is not clear for how long he actually stays with Mei and Mhok while trying to mend his heart.

Mhok isn’t really good at hiding his feelings, but I guess people around him are not very perceptive. Except for Mei, she definitely knows what’s up. Phat’s ex is a manipulative asshole who should be on his own, he’s not boyfriend material. Milk (Phat) and Junior (Mhok) had nice enough chemistry, I especially enjoyed how Mhok was around Phat.

I do think the rituals Mei performed to help Phat move on did drag a bit at times, especially as there have been a few and we only got two episodes for their story to unfold. There was no dark forces or anything like that involved, it was just some healing rituals. Which is fine, just doesn’t really fit the description.
