The Prince's First Love (Vertical BL Drama)

Apparently this vertical drama got really popular when it was released. Made up of short, mobile-friendly episodes, this show follows Lucas and Prince Nicholas as they move from school rivalry to friendship and then to something far more complicated. The pair navigate their romance amid school life and cultural differences, while trying to keep their connection a secret.

The story is simple and straightforward. Prince Nicholas joins college and in a few months he is supposed to be crowned king. As per the queen's instructions he needs to marry Alex who is daughter of a big businessman. Since his arrival is all pomp and show, a guy in college Lucas gets annoyed with this and when he hears about Nicholas' plan about Alex, he decides to step in since Alex is his best friend, The two start ogg on a enemy kind note but as you would expect, one scene after other, they slowly start to feel emotions in each other's presence that they did not expect. Meanwhile press is buzzing with rumors that prince maybe gay and to keep up appearances the prince needs to ignore Lucas multiple times. When both of them had enough and they cannot control they soon become friends to lovers confessing their love and how they feel. But it is not so easy for Prince Nicholas given his responsibility and fact that no one would accept a gay prince. His mother tries to do everything to keep the two separate. The villain is Prince's uncle who keeps feeding stories to press about Nicholas' sexuality so that he could in turn become the king. The mother's love eventually gives in and she appoints Lucas as Prince's bodyguard so that they can be together. Eventually prince openly comes out gay on his coronation day and the people accept him there by sealing love between a prince and a commoner.

Story is nice, but as you would expect, the budget of these shows is quiet limited so you need to take everything presented in front of you of you with a pinch of salt in terms of execution and overacting (almost theatrical). Yes, the two leads are gorgeous and their chemistry is quite god. And we can three full on sexual bedroom kinda scenes which keeps the viewers glued. Yes, a lot of scenes scream cringe, but by now if you have been watching these vertical gay content, you should expect it and not be surprised. Most of us are now watching these shows for eye candy and almost in a thirst trap mode. I can't say much about the acting because these leads would need a proper show/film to really show off if they are good. Shows like this need them to look good and act OTT and they both did that well. It helps they are both gorgeous looking. (5/10)

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...
