9/10
I loved it more than I'd like to admit!

First of all, let's be clear about what this short movie is about: it's a low budget, cheesy/romantic story, which you can watch in short clips of maximum 2 minutes each. It's not a blockbuster, it's not going to receive oscar nominations for music, direction and screenplay, it's just a fun and very addictive show.

Running time is not too shabby, it comes to a total of an hour or so.

About the app: I really don't understand other comments mentioning they had to spend crazy amounts of money. It's a completely ad-supported app. You watch five ads daily and unlock five episodes (it's 49 episodes). Furthermore, you can collect coins by logging in daily and by watching some more ads. I collected enough to watch until episode 40, then loved it so much that I spent 12 euros (approx. 10 dollars) to buy some coins and watch the rest. That was it.

About the actors: Honestly, they did a great job given the material they had to work with. Obviously the main male character (Jarred Harper as Sebastian Klein) is hot as hell and he knows it, which makes him even hotter! You just can't take your eyes off of him. Acting wise he was quite good, given the premise. The female lead (Avery May Lynch as Nathalie Quinn) is just a sweetheart and she too gives a solid performance. I was impressed when I found out that she was just 20 years young when filming this.

About the plot: It's addictive! Don't expect anything deep, it's an enjoyable love story with some twists. I guess there was no time or budget to dig more into the trust fund thing, or explore the role Sebastian played amongst the Russian mob, or what Nathalie thinks of her husband being part of the mafia and getting rid of people, but hey it was nonetheless a fun story!

So just go ahead and enjoy a guilty pleasure, if you don't mind the ads. I loved it, though I must say that I was quite annoyed by the scene with the hazelnut allergy.

I'm looking forward to see more from Jarred Harper, that's for sure.
