DogBro (Thai Series)

This 6 episode, 50 minute each BL series has absolutely nothing new to offer. The plot is extremely basic, there is literally no drama element at all and each single episode just drags on forever. I mean there was no pint that the makers were trying to make, so my question is why even make a series? It felt like this show doesn't care about the plot, but about the cuteness of their relationship.

Meen lives by himself and usually has a very dull life. One day he finds a stray dog in his backyard and he decides to adopt hi,. Meen’s peaceful life gets disrupted when his mother suddenly sends Tul, the son of her friend, to live with him in Chiang Mai. Being very protective of his dog, Meen doesn’t want anyone else living in the house, so he does everything he can to drive this new housemate away. But soon he realizes that Tul as much loves and cares for his dog as Meen does. His clingy, puppy-like charm starts to melt Meen’s heart, a heart that’s never beat faster for anyone before. Then in parallel there is this other couple who are also dog lovers and are in the friend group. They meet unexpectedly and soon also fall in love. There was potential to grow that story also into something meaningful, but it also ended up being boring overall.

Both these love stories are actually pretty bland and I found that the leads had no chemistry. Sadly the script and direction doesn't even let them do much with their characters since they are all one dimensional. Even the kisses and sexual scenes seemed forced adjust wrong for some reason. The pacing was slow, the characters were boring and the story had no gravitas. The only decent scenes were with the dog, given my newfound love for watching dog videos. But other than that, this show has absolutely nothing worth talking about. It is completely avoidable. (2/10)

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.

Drug Shore (Chinese)

Apparently tis film was adapted by a true story Well, true or not, movies/series about drugs are not easy to watch. I have always said that drugs is like the end of life for anyone. For those who sink into this sea of addiction, some manage to swim upstream to recovery, while others cannot make it to the shore. The film may not be the best, but it does have a noble intention to remind everyone of the evil affects of drugs and combining that with sex. Ah Zhe is in a happy relationship with his influencer boyfriend. On his partner's birthday, they end up going to a party, which interestingly is being hosted at a drug dealer's house and this is where for the first time he is exposed to the world of drugs.

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...
