Influencer Lover (2024)

40 shorts make a lackluster short movie...

I'm not a fan of portrait series/movies. It takes away too much video space and camera work is limited. Even when you watch on a phone, I don't understand why not to turn the phone to landscape mode... Also a negative is, that subtitles are very small which takes more concentration to read them. So that is a derating by default for me.

The story is not that bad, but not great either. To have an influencer pair having a fake relationsship is nothing earth shattering, but the story does tell us the girl did it only because she still liked him - it's bullshit. If they really had 800k subscribers they would do it for the money and nothing else. The ML in this pairing gave off more gay vibes compared to his love interest, so I would have switched the roles to make it more believable.

Both leads did a good job even when I felt the chemistry was lacking but otherwise the series was lacking. It takes about 50 minutes to watch all 40 "episodes" which is lame as well. There is no depth of the story and the characters. The side characters are just here to fill the space, and yes the format does not help either. At least the kissing was decent. So my final verdict is, you may watch it when you are bored, but you won't miss a thing if you skip it.
