Bangkok G Story (Web Series) (Thai)

Web series are a hit or miss. This series is nothing ground breaking but given that the episodes are so short, it does bring a smile to your face after every episode. You know what's exactly going to happen but you still dont mind. Thankfully the episodes to address most common problems that most gay men face trying to date and find a boyfriend and balancing random hook-ups alongwith all this.

The focus is mainly on three friends while other characters are introduced later. T is a player, G is a newbie who wants a boyfriend and no hookups and the third is B, who hooks up for money although he has a good job. We are introduced to M later, a super hot guy who is also from a small town like G and becomes apart of their friend circle. After many sexual escapades, T & B becomes boyfriends but that doesn't last long since T cannot stay away from prostitution much longer and ends up cheating. M also finds a boyfriend who is bottom and he now has started enjoying being a versatile , so his sexual life is quite frustrating. He ends up hooking up with G after he catches his boyfriend in an orgy. After all these issues, the series finally end sup in T & G getting together as true love and boyfriends. It takes time to get there but eventually does.

The episodes are short, quick and witty. Its a bit stereotypical with all the themes they handle as part of the show but sometimes, its just fun to watch stupid stuff that brings a smile to your face. Every individual story is good for a but of laughter. The characters may seem bland initially but there is a proper trajectory growth and you start connecting with them. The boys are all gorgeous but acting was very evidently off at many places. They were clearly not experienced. But despite all that, it was still fun to watch these episodes. Short, crispy and clear. The end episode summarizes the crux of life of a gay man. We are all different and each one of us has our own way of living it. Its the path we choose of single, hook-ups, boyfriend and your job. Love can be sometimes so close to you that you may overlook it. The right person for you may not be the best person but he is the person who accepts your bad sides.

It's a good watch with lots of comedic relief. The episodes aren't that long, so it's not a very long watch either. I would recommend people watch this, you won't regret it! (6.5/10)

Loved this little serie, thanks to you again!
I have the exact same feeling : it's stupid and funny, generally left me with a smile at the end. Even though it's not believable, stereotypical and not really well played, but sweet and witty. And the guys are definitely good looking...
Somewhat reminds me of "the horizon" web serie, with the country guy coming in a big city seaching for the right guy (who finally was close to him nearly from the start).

For the horizon serie, don't get scared for the first episodes which are really bad (they changed the actors in the other seasons except for Wilma), the rest is very nice It just has all the cliches possible ^^; I enjoyed watching it, I hope you will too

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,
