Loveless Society (Thai Mini-Series)

This was such a pointless series and a show that need not exist in the first place. With low production quality, the acting is non-existent, the plot is pedestrian, the whole thing is filmed on an iPhone, the editing is incompetent, the sound is poor, and there's no ending. It just... stops. The show thankfully is just 4 episodes of about 40 minutes each, so the torture doesn't stay long for you.

Nut works at a small advertising agency. His colleagues and grinds are a girl So, a guy named Mick, who he has been friends with for 6 years. Mick has a secret crush on Nut. Nut's feelings for Mick are unclear to us. For a new competition, the Boss hires his relative/consultant to work with this team so they can potentially win the award which will be bog for the company. Apparently Guy had seen one of Nut's previous work called "Loveless Society" and was quite inspired by the creator and that is why he also wanted to work with Nut on this collaboration. Guy does come out as an arrogant person for some reason. While he make Nut and his team work extra hard for this competition, him and Nut have this friend enemies turned sudden attraction. While this is happening there is some office politics around their designs being sold to a rival company. Mick is initially held responsible but soon he clears the air. He also confesses his love to Nut but he is, for some reason, infatuated with Guy. The two men have sex and to be honest, I dont even know what really happens in the end. It was all very boring , confusing and I didn't care at all.

The main couple here is supposed to be Guy and Nut, but sadly they have no chemistry at all. Guy is an unlikable love interest, appearing rude, arrogant, and sleazy in almost every scene. Besides an unattractive personality, there's no chemistry between the leads. Their relationship is not just loveless, but it's also joyless, passionless, and meaningless. Why are they together is very questionable. In fact, in first episode I thought Nut and Mick were together in a relationship, but I guess that was not the case! Besides the so-called romance, even the work-related subplots get executed clumsily and many scenes aren't written well. The narrative tends to be ridiculous and tacky instead of realistic and down-to-earth. I am not even sure if there was a story here, or maybe the makers had an idea but they really did not know what to do with it and where to take it. Amateur actors, bad direction, extremely poor sound and editing; there is just nothing redeemable about the show. Almost in ever seen, the background music was louder than the dialogues itself. And why this title? Uff!! I can't recommend this at all. (1/10)

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution.

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 ...
