Scent of Love (2022)

Sweet ad/short

Essentially a three-part perfume advertisement, this can also be seen as a short film. The story-telling is pretty economical, which is a good thing. But the story itself can perhaps be improved. Spoiler ahead:

The story is essentially about a guy (Pete) who has a crush on a senior (Bas), and it turns out that the crush is mutual. Fine, but in the first part, Bas seems a little too harsh on Pete for the ending to be likely. But maybe I'm nitpicking. The portrayal of Pete's emotions is actually pretty good, especially for an advertisement.

Short, Sweet and Slow

Even when the series is short, about 10 minutes, I still felt that it is quite slow which is not expected from a mini-series.
