Shoot My Heart, My Mafia Boss TV Mini Series 2025 (Mini Series)

Aah!! My obsession with these vertical dramas.. no end to it. I love the fact that I love to hare these micro dramas but secretly I continue to watch them, because guess what! They keep coming in. They all pretty much follow the same pattern which I have repeatedly mentioned with one mafia, a straight man repeating that he is not gay, an evil female vamp, some shooting, some drama and all is well that ends well. This is no different.

A mafia boss Sable is being chased and gets shot. He is saved by a doctor Daymond, who, when he sees the ring on his fingers thinks that he is the same guy who likely killed his father in a cartel bust. The guy runs a gambling casino and it turns out that the doctor's younger brother has sufficient debt, which he is willing to forego if Daymond will become his personal doctor. Clearly Sable is completely smitten by him, and our doctor keeps making it clear that he is not into men. Daymond sees this as an opportunity to find out the truth about what happened with his father. Then there is this other family who wants to get into the casino business and they propose marriage between their daughter with mafia boy who doesn't like the idea. More shootings, more killings where this evil female does everything in power for money and business, while the boss continues to woo the doctor. Thanks to his brother's gambling addiction, Daymond is forced to stay with Sable, but slowly things start to unravel on how this evil family might have been the ones responsible and not the boss. As expected, the doctor suddenly starts to fall for him too. As the summary says "When a ruthless mafia boss crosses paths with a compassionate and doctor, their lives collide in an unexpected journey of obsession and affection. What begins as a tense power struggle, evolves into mutual love neither of them saw coming."

Please continue to watch these shows devoid of any logic. You watch these micro dramas for guilty pleasure, for eye candy, for some hot torsos. Usually I have noticed a pattern that these kinda shows often take one lead as a twink and other more macho. For a change, here they both look alpha males and their enemies to lovers story becomes interesting, although there is no ample reason to believe that the doctor would suddenly start to fall for a guy. Sexuality just doesn't change randomly. There is absolutely nothing new being offered here. Honestly, I think it's the overflow of such dramas. If there was like one a month or something, the novelty would continue but otherwise I dont think this is going to last. Also, can we please move away from the whole mafia trope for these dramas? I mean, like what is the obsession with mafias and gangs and showing gay love there. There are hundreds of other careers where you could show a similar love story. I guess I will have to wait. Till then just be happy with some good eye candy. (3/10)

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.

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 duo somehow do it just enough and come back home but next day Ah She gets invited by the dealer Xiao Fei for a meal. The dealer has a soft corner for Ah Zhe, but before anyone realizes, Ah Zhe's life spirals out of control when slowly he starts doing more and more drugs, ...

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 ...
