This movie was honestly just terrible. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed this hard at a flick for all the wrong reasons, and I knew within the first ten minutes that things were going to be a total mess. Once you move past how awful it is, you can actually have a great time just wondering how this ever got made. It makes you wonder if anyone involved even bothered to watch the final version after they finished shooting. The plot is about as basic as it gets. A group of Black gay couples all get invited to a resort for a weekend trip where everything is paid for, but they all think the invite came from someone different. Since a few of these guys have some messy history with each other, the tension is pretty high as soon as they arrive. Nobody actually knows who is picking up the tab or who started the whole thing—A thinks B invited them, B thinks it was C, and it just keeps going like that. Pretty soon, a slasher starts picking them off one by one. The killer’s identity eventual...

Their dreams may take them physically apart but their love will keep them together.
The two actors do a good job of playing their part and in fact have some real good chemistry, but they are let down by a botched script and poor production. The last episode is cry fest with just a recap of all amazing dishes that Tops made, whereas, it could have been so much more. A private moment between two recent lovers who are going to be separated soon, but the makers missed the chance. There were too many episodes and situation that leaves you hanging and gives you incomplete vibe, which is such a pity towards the actors. The only episode that I really enjoyed was the one where they both have to take care of baby. The way that episode was directed was nice, but besides that I was getting tired of Tops saying in every episode "Let me cook something for you". I mean, does the guy do anything besides grocery shopping and cooking? Given there are a plethora of Asian BL series that are being churned like a factory, this one can be avoided. (4.5/10)
