Marco Berger has come out with another movie that’s really beautiful and sexy, but it’s definitely not like the ones he usually makes where guys are just full of sexual tension. This one is filmed in black-and-white and looks amazing. The director found a really weird way to show how humans connect and how sexuality works by using a "man as a dog" idea. It’s a pretty strange but interesting movie that makes you think. The story takes place in a world that’s parallel to ours, where two straight couples are on vacation on an island. You see two guys on a boat calling out to someone, and then this naked, lonely, and really good-looking guy shows up. In this dreamy kind of world, the group calls him a "man," but he basically acts like a pet dog. In this setup, the word "men" refers to naked male humans that people own as pets, just like we own dogs. People are scared of stray men just like they're scared of stray dogs. There are also "women" who ...
Guo Xiao Mei, a rich girl that one day crosses Gu Zhi, a young actor that works as an instructor at this VIP gym in the same building as her office. That same instant because of a misunderstanding, she thinks of him as gay. Given that she is a fujoshi, she goes to the gym to sign a 5 year VIP membership but would only do that if Gu Chi admits he is gay, and so he pretends to be gay to lure her into buying 5 year premium membership at the gym. When when the girl sees the gym supervisor, she immediately end sup shipping them together as a couple. During the 8 episode there's a lot of funny scenes including sexual jokes and funny situations with Gu Zhi, Quin Nan and the other clients of the gym.
Some of the episodes were quite funny while a couple were drag, to be honest. The girls' charming enthusiasm to ship two very handsome guys in the gym kept the show alive. Also I loved almost all the scenes where she would go to the gym but do everything else except workout and would also be able to justify it. The two guys were actually quite hot and it also felt that almost in every episode Gu Chi would end up fantasizing about his supervisor based on whatever situation the girl would say but immediately come to senses. There is a lot of daydreaming kind of situations here. Some of the other side characters are also fun to watch like the receptionist, the old cleaning guy, the overweight girl who thinks the young actor was trying to seduce her and another muscle body builder who grunts in the gym everytime he exercises. Overall, a series for total time pass, something that doesn't require too much brains. You just watch, occasionally laugh and then just forget. (5/10)
