I cant believe that this show is coming in 2024. Stories like this made sense maybe 8-9 years ago, but this show was so bland, uninteresting with bad story, zero chemistry and most importantly awful subtitles by the makers. Watching this show for 10 episodes of 40-45 minutes each was so excruciating. I mean, why did the makers even make this show? Pluem and Khonprot are engineering students and Khonprot is a junior. He has had a crush on Pluem since high school but has never been able to b open about it. Meanwhile Pluem is a womanizer but when his last girlfriend dumps him, he cant take it ..read more

Can anyone remember a gay Nigerian film. One quick search on my blog, I found online such story. SO naturally my expectations were quite up knowing that this Nigerian film had won the Berlinale Teddy Award. The summary said, "An understated but heart-wrenching look at the love between two men in modern-day Nigeria, where such love is forbidden, as the motorcycle courier and aspiring photographer grow closer as they explore Lagos." Sounds good! So let's see what this is all about. Bambino, a delivery bike driver, is a single man, very used to his ways of living. He is looking to a possible p ..read more

There have been a plenty campy gay vampire films and when you watch them you know exactly what you are getting into. So I would blame no one but myself, that I did not keep my expectations in check. I should have realized that this show is going to be as trashy and as bad as most of those films, and then maybe I might have enjoyed this 6 part series of about 22-25 minutes each. A show about gay vampires and gay werewolves clash in an electrifying war for dominance in modern-day Hollywood, sounds like it might have some interesting moments at least. But alas, over the top bad acting and super ..read more

This Thai series started off well, but somewhere it just became very monotonous, or I guess it just wasn't dramatic enough for them to stretch it for 10 episodes and then add 2 more special episodes. And at 45 minutes each, it does become a significant time investment. I was very much into the story for first two episodes and was looking forward to it. There are issues, but they resolve quickly; which keeps the show very soft, romantic, fluffy and just excruciatingly slow. Duen Yi is a songwriter and is tasked by his music record company to write his nextsog. He has been doing various itera ..read more

Being touted as Cambodia's first BL series after their previous effort 'The Law Of Love' failed to find a sponsor at the last minute. I appreciate the makers for doing their best to complete the show. The show which aired 2 episodes just before covid was finally finished in 2022 with the last 2 episodes. Honestly the last episode also felt very rushed. Overall with 4 episodes of around 20 minutes each, the story could have been decent, but overall this mini series is nothing much to talk about from any perspective. The only thing worth noting is that at least someone is trying to do somethin ..read more

This small little mini series has a paper thin plot and offers almost nothing new. What's worse is that there is not even a proper romance. Oh well!! On a positive note side, the show is only 7 episodes of average 25 minutes with last 2 episodes being half size. A story about a journalist and an actor/model is as band as anything. Yoshi and his friend Ampere are reporters. Their boss wants them to interview Putter, one of the trendiest actors, but also an elusive one. Interestingly Yoshi knows the actor's manager and thinks he can get an interview. When they arrive at the beach destination ..read more

Although I Love You and You is a sweet and harmless and an optimistic romantic comedy. Ever since I visited Japan, I suddenly find myself enjoying these Japanese BL more and more. Here the city of Osaka is also a main character, and I just had a smile on my face since that was the first city I spent time in. Add to it a bit of food and restaurant, you have me sold. The slight over the top reactions in some of these shows has always fascinated me and thesis no different. Also one other thing that really stand out here is that the actors the show has taken look age appropriate unlike the Thai ..read more

This documentary of under an hour explores touch based service businesses including cuddling, erotic massage, sex surrogacy and sex work. Some people venture into this line of work as a side hustle, despite having another full time job and for others this is their full time job. Like it goes for many documentary styles, we meet 4-5 folks who fall in this category and who for various reasons are into the business of providing these services.  We meet a cuddle expert, who talk sabot how he wasn't also aware of this service but now he gets clients who like this but the guy also emphasized ..read more

I am all in for slice of life films, especially when they center around dysfunctional families where you get to see some drama. But I am also not for films like this one, where literally nothing happens. The film is essentially about a young post-op trans woman who goes on a vacation wither parents and her sister.  And her inner struggle to stay independent while also enjoying the comfort of someone caring for her. And thats it. There is no conflict or discussion around her being trans, in fact, it's not even the topic here, which makes me wonder why was this character chosen to be tran ..read more

After all these years, finally there is a series where I eventually gave up. When you have a show of 14 episodes and each episode is over one hour long, you expect something out of it. Although with a name like this, I did keep my expectations minimum and trust me, I really tried to stay on. I understand the need for sex and explicit scenes and I am all up for it, but I thought that from the main story point of view of a missing person; something more substantial will be offered but sadly, this didn't happen. Looking at some of the other reviews, it feels like people have either loved it or ..read more
