#love algorithm

Oh, this show is already fascinating, y'all. A young man working behind the scenes on a dating show who is suddenly thrust into helping get one of the candidates... who turns out to be someone he was friends with and had a falling out with over the same girl. But was it really about her?

No, because they're both gay as fuck and crushing on each other! But they never realized it!

But just LOOK at them.

MATCHING EARRINGS.

Love Algorithm, a new Malaysian BL series, starring Zhen Ning and Jack Gohr premieres July 15th.

“A dating reality show’s producer and a famous singer were best friends in high school but drifted apart after a misunderstanding. Now, they’re forced to work together when the singer joins the show. As old feelings begin to resurface between them, a scripted fake relationship between the singer and one of the female contestants also starts developing into real emotions.”

Look at those beautiful lines! Look at that overhead shot! Look at that line of light between them!

But then! We get these very loaded interactions:

And this crazy beautiful framing:

Contacted with how they were in the past (with yearning glances and the excuse of a girl they could both like, and then matching earrings and a promise to go to the school dance without dates. And did I mention the matching earrings that are being gifted in that dressing room???):

Im not stoked about cinemascope 21:9 aspect ratio but that's a me problem. Overall it looked really good (thank you for putting some budget into colour correction!) and it sounds good! Usually colour grading and audio is first to go with if the budget is tight so me being very visual person (but also bad audio drives me nuts as hoh person) im really happy about it.

Forget AI; the real OG algorithm of love was scribbled on the back of a notebook in 7th grade. FLAMES—the Primitive Algorithm of Love—where your eternal romance is decided by counting letters like a confused mathematician. One wrong spelling and suddenly you’re ‘Enemies’ instead of ‘Marriage.’ It’s the only app-free love calculator that runs on pure chaos, childhood nostalgia, and bad handwriting. Basically, Cupid outsourced his job to middle schoolers with pens."
