My Wife Turns Out to Be a Man?! (Vertical B Drama)

Yes, one more of those vertical BL shows in which you can find every single cliche that you have likely learned to recognize every. Time you watch such shows. Interestingly there is less OTT reactions in this one and is a pretty straight forward story (if there is such a thing).

Avery is getting married and his bride is quite tall. Why is obviously clear to the audience that this bride is actually a man is something that Avery cannot see for some reason and every other character in the show. Anyway, the marriage is supposed to be a contract of sorts from their parents to fulfill so that they can keep their wealth. Their first night they decide they will not get physical but keep up the appearances for the society, and they continue the charade. In the process there is this CEO who starts to like the wife and flirts with her which Avery doesn't like. One drunken night leads to them having sex and next morning the bride's truth comes out and Avery finds out that it is James. Turns out James' sister ran right before wedding, so James had to take up this role for his parents respect. The duo start to hang out as men and at some point start to fall for one another after some usual drama, comedy, flirtations etc. They realize they are perfect for one another. But the CEO of that company still wants James. Enter James sister, who suddenly wants Avery back in life leading to some misunderstandings between Avery and James. Turns out that this CEO was manipulating the sister (who was his girlfriend) into breaking up Avery and James so that he could get close to James. As you would expect, all is well that ends well.

I have seen the actor playing Avery is a couple other BL series and he plays this young naiive and innocent roles quite well. His face and body just suits this. The actor playing James was also quite hot: tall and muscular but guess what, he made for a very bad girl. How could anyone in their right mind not see that. Anyway, sometimes we are not supposed to put our brains too much. The mini series is supposed to be a guilty pleasure watch a this is exactly what it is. Thankfully there was no unnecessary mafia angle here, which has come to be the modus operandi of such shows. As long as you know what you are getting into to watch, this is simple watch it, smile and forget it kind of vertical shows catering to our short attention span these days. At least there is good eye candy. (4/10)

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.

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, ...

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...
