and when the movie is just about these girls spending time with other, it unleashes a full salvo of romcom sweetness that rivals anything Star Cinema has put together in the last twenty years.
So, shoujo-ai without it being explicitly shoujo-ai?
Sam Lee just understands the rhythm of romance, and will let characters sit quietly with all the tension in the air between them, leaving a pause so that audiences can scream their heart out over how much they want these two to kiss already.
I'm willing to bet there's already a yuri/shoujo-ai fanfic of it out there. Perhaps even a doujin.
