YYY: The Series (Thai)

This is the kind of brainless silly series that I would have enjoyed maybe 10-15 years ago, but somehow at this stage in my life, I can't really say much more than a silly series. Originally stated to be a 6 part (about 30 minute each), for some reason, the makers came up with another 3 episodes which were the most random episodes/context/relationship I have ever seen.

Nott, a handsome inventor, lives in an all-boys apartment owned by Porpla, the Yaoi fan owner. One day, one of Nott's inventions causes an electrical fire destroying Porpla's Yaoi CDs. She decides to throw him out. Conveniently, Pun walks in at the right time and Nott, thinking on his toes, pretends that Pun is his boyfriend, appealing to Porpla's obsession with BL couples. Pun reluctantly agrees, but says that Nott owes him. Slowly they start to fall for each other. Meanwhile, Arm, the neighborhood boy has had a crush on Nott for a long time but he is the gentleman kind of guy. Even though he knows that Nott and Pun maybe getting together, he makes sure to let his feelings know to Nott whose reactions were very mature. Then we have Om, Nott's ex-roommate who has a crush on this girl Yuri who has been secretly stalking Nott. Eventually after some love, some heart-breaks, Nott and Pun are together as one big happy family. 

The ending where Pun and Nott sort of become space ship and end up being in space was over my head and the subsequent 3 episode follow up on just the weirdest interactions between Nott and Pun completely threw me off. It was a complete waste of time. The only funny character IMO was Porpla and her two minions Latte and Mocha. They change in zillion outfits as per the mood which add a bit more silliness to the show, albeit a funny one. But the overall execution of the otherwise decent story left a lot to be desired. The gags were forced, acting was over the top and so was the direction. Arm was the only sane character and him confessing his love for Nott was the only decent scene in the whole series. Nott was geeky and I am not sure how and why he falls for Pun. Pun, at least has a back story that makes sense. Rest of the cast is supposed to be crazy and crazy they were, except none of that connected with me as an audience.

I would not recommend this series unless you want something super silly, braindead and over the top acting and humor is your kind of thing. (3/10)

Hi, i reccomended you a thai BL which is very different with other BL. It's more of a coming of age with BL theme, and the production is top notch quality. The title is I Told Sunset About You. It's on dailymotion up to episode 3. It's still ongoing and have 2 episode left. It's the best BL series i've ever watch to be honest. Even better than SKAM, and that says a lot.

Don’t know what this… thing… was. Only 6 episodes but I couldn’t even finish the 2nd episode. Either it gets really good after and I’m missing something, or Golu you’re a hero watching it all. Maybe I’ll try again later (or not)

You're hereby invited to witness a rare moment - Miisu speechless :D Like... totally silent and all. Holy mother of all bagpipes, HOW did you manage to watch the whole thing, specials included?! What's your secret (asking for a friend) :D ?

There are bad things so bad that they become good, like "Borat" or "Impastor", but this thing really is for... eem... acquired taste. /exits to the left, going to acquire some taste/

This was sooooooo bad, like almost a mindfuck
Miisu said…
Eem... I've been mindfucked by two narcissists, two at the same time for a few years - THAT was a mouse's fart compared to this... thing... (rare moment vol 2: translator not able to find a suitable descriptive word :D ). Seriously, you hold some exceptional super powers :D

P.S! When do the nightmares cease to reoccur (asking for a friend)?

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,
