Make It Right: Season 1 (TV Series) (Thai)

By Golu
This is season 1 of Thai  boys’ love romantic comedy series featuring 12 episodes each of about 45 minutes each. So you can see that it was quite time consuming to watch all of this. The story revolves around young boys’ budding relationships and how they deal with their feelings within themselves and in front of the judging society. The primary story(s) takes place in a high school institution where most of the characters go to study.

The story of this series is paper thin. The primary two characters are Fuse and Tee. When Fuse finds his girlfriend cheated on him, he finds solace in Tee, a young boy who shows immense interest in him, but Fuse is confused. Doesn’t know what he wants. Then we have this other couple Book and Frame. Frame is outgoing guy who sleeps around while Book is this really shy guy. They have a chance sexual encounter and how this changes the equation between them forms the crux of their story. There is a whole load of other characters as well who add to the story. Frame’s sister who does cosmetics business, her lover, her admirer. Then there are other boys in the school, and each of them have their own story going on. We also have Rod, who has a huge crush on Fuse. Anyway, there is not much to the story necessarily, and the series just follows their day to day activities of love, heart-break, jealousy and friendship.

I am not sued to Thai series, so I maybe reacting a bit weird; but I found the acting, especially people’s reactions to any situation very dramatic and over the top. In fact the boys look a bit awkward. Sometimes, the reactions made me laugh out loud. I blame all this to the directors but then maybe this is how thai series are. I will have to watch more. Also the series is way too long. There are many side stories and even the main stories drag out. Each of the episode should have been of about 20 minutes each and crisp. I think that would have added a lot to the merits of this series. Book and Frame have good chemistry which was completely lacking between Fuse and Tee. On a positive note, the boys were all very cute. It was surprising to see how comfortable everyone in school is with anyone’s sexuality. It was never shown as a big deal being gay. Is that Thai culture really that advanced? I doubt so. Interestingly, none of the young boys’ parents were shown and it felt, they all belong to affluent families with constant junk food eating, buying cosmetics and hanging out with friends. Nothing wrong with that but just an observation.

The story and the plot is promising but I am highly disappointed with a teenage like execution but then I guess its the teenagers who were the target audience for this series. (5/10)

Especially after watching so many good shows, this one is indeed barely decent. Hopefully some of the main actors are kinda cute, but they all look like they're 12 yo, that's almost disturbing.
Tee is the most patient and resilient guy in the world.
The acting is terrible, hope it gets better in season 2

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

By Golu
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]

By Golu
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. Unknown to him, he is saved by mysterious man Yoda Ryoji, and he wakes up finding himself tied up in leather and belts in a very BDSM setting. This mysterious saver soo...

One Summer Night (Korean)

By Golu
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 ...
