Vietnamese shows can really be a hit or a miss, and this one was no exception. The plot definitely had some good ideas, but it felt like they dragged it out way longer than necessary. Honestly, they could have finished the whole thing in eight episodes, but instead, we had to sit through fourteen installments that were 35 minutes each—and the finale was almost an hour long! Also, I’ve got to say, the "amnesia" trope is getting so old in the BL world. Writers really need to find some fresh ideas. The story is about Viet, a young artist who is going through a really rough time. He’s lost his parents, gets picked on by his boss, and eventually quits his job. To make things worse, his boyfriend has been ghosting him, and when Viet finally goes to see him, he finds out the guy has moved on to someone else without even bothering to break up with him.

A collection of gay short stories before year 2000.
Un arrangement (France) [An Arrangement]
A man and his son come to terms with their sexuality in their own different manners: while the father painfully hides his secret from his family during night tricks, the son progressively discovers a more open sexuality. Very very interesting film.
Dizzy (Canada)
Written on a flight to Australia and intended as a speech for Hull’s brother’s wedding, Dizzy is a story of one man’s attempt to come to terms with his fragile balance in the modern world. Strictly time pass.
Pracht (Germany)
Two guys sitting across each other on the train fantasize about having sex. Interesting piece and something that can probably tun u on
Une nuit ordinaire (France) [An Ordinary Night]
A young French man bicycles across town after an evening out to spend the night with his boyfriend. The twist in the tale is that the bf is probably dying of AIDS.
America the Beautiful (USA)
Short video transforms verses about religion and battle into a verse about the right to love.
Allegoria (France)
A self inducing crappy piece of experimental cinema where the film-maker just plays with colors with its weirdly make-up'ed characters. Totally bizarre and weird.
Masculins singuliers (France)
A taxi driver tries to take advantage of his passenger ( a drag queen) but is in surprise when the tables turn and drag queen is heavy on the driver. Another bad film.
Boys beware (USA)
What might have been a harmless, even helpful warning to kids about pedophiles becomes ridiculous and ugly by its pretense of revealing what all *homosexuals* are like. It is insulting to gays that this film is still screened in some parts of the country even today.
An average rating of four because the films were more bad than good. (4/10)
