Amore (Filipino Series)

Words cannot express how bad this series was. I mean, really. 27 episodes and over 20 hours of watching time, this series really tests out one's patience. The story line is all over the place, the acting is pure bad and the less said about direction, the better. This show started out really cringe, and just got progressively worse. You get an idea.

Joey is a country boy who comes to live in a boys dormitory. By bad luck, he is forced to hare his room with Jimmy. They hate each other initially but become cordial after a while. Eventually Another boy in the dorm Will starts pursuing Joey and soon they are a couple. Meanwhile this other boy Nuan from school also is in love with Joey. It turns out Jimmy had slept with a girl who is now pregnant. To hide this from everyone, they bring the girl in their room, she even delivers and continue to raise the baby with her without anyone knowing. The friends and other boys find out but they are supportive but Will is unto some evil plans since he doesn't like the closeness between Joey and Jimmy. The baby's mother suddenly disappears leaving the boys to fend for the baby with help from the dorm's momma. At some point Will is unto no good to hurt Joey (unclear). Joey breaks up with him and out of nowhere he gets together with Jimmy.

One thing that shocked me in this series and is almost comical is that every single guy in the show is falling for Joey. He is not even remotely cute or good looking or anything exciting about him but randomly everyone wants to be with him. It was a joke. The story (if there is any) takes forever to build up and the scenes are long drawn. Will and Joey have zero chemistry while they are supposed to be in love for almost 20 episodes. The dubbing is poor where you can hear so much background static noise. The production quality is bad, editor probably slept through his job and seems like no one in the show could care less. It was going all over the place. There was no real resolution for any of the characters. All supporting actors were bad. I don't even know why Jimmy is being portrayed as one of the central character along with Joey when he barely has much to contribute.

I can’t stress enough how bad this show was. It is simply awful and unacceptable for a show released in 2020 and too long of a commitment to sit through. Do not be fooled by some random glowing reviews you will see online. Anyone who thinks this show is any good, needs to get themselves checked. (1/10)

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,
