Flirt Milk (Thai Series)

Oh God!1 where do I even begin? This show was so atrocious. There are rarely shows that I have had to stop mid way because they are so bad, this one definitely falls in that category. Firstly, the plot was almost non-existent; but what's worse is that it was executed so badly, with awful acting, cliches, cringe, awkward dialogue, horrible direction, stupid cheesy sound effects; anything horrible and bad that you can think of. Sitting through 10 episodes each of about 45 minutes was nothing less than a torture.

Nomjuet, a young man whose personality and life are as dull as his name suggests, joins a photography club. He is mentally and physically not much evolved and feels very timid. This happens to an extent that eve. When two boys are actually interested in him, he has no clue about it. He is iso naive that his best friends guard him fiercely and are extremely overprotective. Chaos ensues when he unexpectedly meets Phra-ek, a junior from the photography club.  Nomjuet accidentally breaks his camera and to repay the debt he starts working in a Milk Bear Cafe. Slowly their personalities clash, only to soon become friends where the latter teaches Nomjuet about photography and somehow they end up falling in love. There are two other side couples: one is a lesbian couple and boring as the main couple. And then there is the usual enemies turned lovers trope of the third couple. 

I still can't figure why the two leads liked each other, even after watching this show. ON top of that you had another guy vying or hitting on Nomjuet; but why and for what? Like plain milk. I could never figure out why they were considered to be attractive partners when both of them had the emotional range and personality of a piece of cardboard. You know the show is bad, when after the first episode you know exactly where this is headed. Seriously, if you can manage to sit through first episode without rolling your eyes, that would be a winner. There is no chance of redemption here. The Milk Boy was dull beyond my imagination and his partner had the worst fake beard ever seen in BL history. The side couple is a tad better, but too cliché as well. And of course the story is just boring, the acting is bad, the music is bad, and it's just absolutely boring. I dont even want to waste my time writing a proper review because anyone who thinks thatches show is remotely enjoyable, Neds to have another look at themselves. I've seen bad series but this is way worse than anything I've seen so far. (1/10)

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...

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. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him. ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide.

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 ...
