Make A Wish (Filipino Series)

This series' execution was amazingly amateurish. When you start with a basic story, get some bad actors and do a shoddy job of direction, even the smallest of episodes becomes very challenging to sit through. At 6 episodes of about 20-25 minutes and a seventh special episode, this show is not worth your time. I am never gonna be able to recover the time I invested in this crap.

Isko is a young boy who lives with his aunt and some dream haunts him. He gets bullied by a social alled friend Tonyo whenever they cross paths. Isko is shy and is repeatedly told he is ugly. One day at the coffee shop, a mysterious lady leaves a cross necklace for him. And then we have young boy Alexeuz who comes to Earth from another planet to complete his mission, which he doesn't know what he mission is. He meets Isko by chance and slowly it turns out his mission might be to help Isko and fulfill his wishes. It turns out there ewes a guy named Zion, whom Tonyo used to like, but Zion prefers Isko's company. But in a misunderstanding, when Tonyo sends men to beat up Isko, they accidentally beat up Zion who then dies. And this is the past that keeps haunting Isko. Isko's wish is to forget past and make life better for him. Magically Tonyo has a change of heart and the two boys are friends.

Firstly, I am not sure honestly if this was a BL show. Yes, we all plenty of trans characters, but none of the leads was shown gay or had gay kissing or anything. What was Zion's relationship with either Isko or Tonyo is never actually clarified. In fact both Tonyo and Isko are seen wanting to date a girl. So I am confused when I read everywhere that to was a gay relationship. I thought the arrival of alien (hahaha) would make things spicy and interesting but that also was such a yawn. The guy Alexeuz would randomly keep showing up and then disappear throughout the day. The whole thing was so childish and amateurish that I can't even begin to write. Each of the character just rambles away for no reason and there was no reason this series should have ever been made. Also, what was up with telling Isko like 10 times every episode on how ugly he is. I just don't get it. And then he has a magical makeover after going to these spas and salons. WTF!! How was that relevant to anything that was going on. Please stay away from this one. (2/10)

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,
