Suntiny (Thai Series)

This series was sooo boring and bad, I can't even begin to explain. I really tried to give this a chance, but it just kept getting repetitive and there was absolutely nothing exciting about it. The storyline is painfully slow with constant body-switching and trust me it is not in an interesting way Thankfully the show as 10 episodes of 30-35 minutes each, but I can't believe how bad it was.

Sun (a teacher) and Nuea ( a flamboyant gay) are in a relationship but their sex life is not going well since Sun can't get it up. After various doctors visits, Sun decides to go to a shaman. The guy gives him a soap to wash himself with on a full moon night but make sure he is alone when doing that. As Sun drops the soap into the bath and gets ready for shower Nuea appears and forces himself to join him (no explanation on why couldn't Sun tell him the truth). The lights start to flicker and when they wake up they realize they have switched bodies. After the initial screams and confusion they go to shaman to solve this problem, but he knows only half of the trick. He is still looking for remaining half of it, which essentially tells him that ‘they will switch back bodies when it is time’. All this literally happens in the the first two episodes and the following episodes are all about the couple's journey in each other's body (while still struggling to get physical intimacy). There was some side couple, and also some sort of villain which didn't make any sense to the overall story.

This has got to be one of the worst BL stories I have seen in recent times. Every single episode feels the same. There is no real story, no real drama points, nothing. The lead actors acting is bad and the plot makes no sense at all. They kept switching bodies/souls back and forth, which made the entire story messy and confusing. What was meant to be a light-hearted, meaningful series where two people learn about each other turned into a disaster. The sex scenes were poorly handled, the side couple was bland. This is a great example of bad story, bad direction and "why the hell was this series made" award. Really badly executed, repetitive and absolute cringe. (1/10)

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him.

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 ...

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...
