Aedan (Filipino Series)

Here we go. And yet another ones of those low budget, cringe acting, paper thin plot and a story that should not hav been made in the first place. I don't know the name of this production company, but they seem to have a template: Bring in a few good looking boys, 2-3 over the top trans actors, a few shirtless scenes, an emotional conflict and drama and just weave a story around that. Most importantly everything has to be shot in some resort. Sitting for these 6 episodes of about 20 minutes each was itself torture.

Evo loves his boyfriend , who is full of himself and has been cheating on him with a girl. Evo's friend Joshua loves him a lot but Eva never sees him this way. Now heartbroken, he decides to take a break, go on holiday and get his life back in order. He thinks that he will try to open his heart for Joshua when he is back. But at the holiday place, he finds an attractive. Young man and fuck his heartbreak, the firstling he does is start stalking him. He is infatuated by his beauty. Turns out this new guy is also heartbroken ever since his girlfriend ditched him on their wedding day. Evo sees hope for himself , but the new guy is not gay. At the end of holiday, Evo goes back to Joshua hoping that he can start love with I'm, but turns out that the guy from holiday is back in his life and now wants him too. Confused between two boys, Evo decides to just fly solo for sometime.

I mean, how silly and dumb can a screenplay and direction be. The right ideas, when not executed well are terrible and can look atrocious. The characters are flat and devoid of any emotion at all. They are completely wooden and awful. Some of these production houses continue to portray these trans characters still in a stereotypical way for jokes, which in today's time is just unacceptable. Even from a story perspective, you Ould think that a heartbroken Evo went to take a break, but first thing he notices is a hot guy (who wasn't even hot) shirtless and starts drooling over him and stalking in. I mean, and you want us to believe that this guys is heartbroken. The supposedly hot guy from the holiday also suddenly has feelings for Eva after spending an evening with him. Like seriously, what is going on. These people change emotions more frequent that people change clothes. There is absolutely no sense of timing. The production quality was ok and the resort was beautiful but when you have bad editing, direction and acting; you know that almost nothing can salvage this. Bad and avoidable. Also, don't ask me why the title of the show!! Cos I would like to know that myself. (2/10)

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin

One Summer Night (Korean)

I really wanted to like this film but for non native speakers, these movie leaves a lot to be understood and the way scenes were unfolding in front of me, I wasn't sure many times what was really going on. The story had potential button getting any back story on any of the characters limited my ability to empathize with any of these actors. Film starts with two North Korea military guys Yong Joon and Jae Sung having sex and they are caught red handed and they run. Three years later we see Yong Joon in Seoul leading a very mundane and poor life. He has a boyfriend Tae-Kyu, who is a weird guy. He is carefree, doesn't do any work and is completely emotional and financially dependent on Young Joon. In fact, even Yong Joon will go to any lengths to protect him , fend for him and taking care of him to the extent of even taking up prostitution. Suddenly one day Jae Sung appears in their life again. His motivation is not clear but it is obvious he wants Yong Joon back in his life, who

Ultimate masturbation: Shigoki no yama (Japanese) [The Ultimate Masturbation]

I would never know what was the point behind making this film. Was it supposed to be a comedy, cos it wasn't. It wasn't even porn. It was just a silly attempt at making something absolutely senseless and ridiculous. The story, as well as direction is equally shoddy. You could laugh for having seen something so bad, but I wouldn't call that comedy. An old man runs a camp about gay masturbation. The explanation given is that gays masturbate for pleasure unlike straight men, for whom the act is seen as shame or because they can't find a woman. One day a straight man shows up and wants to join the camp for his thesis. After discussion, he is allowed in. Rules include that you can masturbate together, you can masturbate one another, but there is no fellatio or anal sex. Some students of course breaks rule. The teacher then talks about 2 forms of masturbation which gives ultimate pleasure. He shows one without touching and then refuses to talk of the other. Somehow suddenly,
