“Kiseki Dear to Me” Series Review (Ep.3 to 13)

Leave a comment

“Kiseki Dear to Me” had such a strong start, the plot and the time jump that was established earlier on was a strong foundation for the show to bring the whole story together, and yet, somewhere in the middle it managed to lose momentum, focusing on the wrong points and ended up giving us a bland story, which certainly did not match up to the strong start the show had. The story doesn’t quite pay off as much as it could have, and despite the actors’ strong chemistry and the overall compelling nature of the characters’ stories, there was something missing in the story. It was not developed well.

“My Dear Gangster Oppa” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Leave a comment

The unspoken world of bars, guns, knives and mysterious shy boys is the one that the new Boys’ Love drama “My Dear Gangster Oppa” consists of. Like “KinnPorsche”, the drama is as simple as a man taking stock of the different cuts and bruises running down his body; you could miss it at first. But instead the storyline focuses on a shy college student named Guy (Ping Krirttanun) in love with his best IRL friend Wahl (Winner Tanatat). Then there is the tall, attractive Tew(Meen Nichakoon), a bar owner with beautiful hosts and a man of few words. The dichotomy of the two characters & their lives shouldn’t work. With fully C.G.I. rendered game play of the massive online game they play along with their online friends, it’s clear the two storylines, the people and situations that populate them blend into each other and that is the world of “My Dear Gangster Oppa”. A unique take on the webtoon “My Ideal Relationship” by Ken.

“Nuovo Olimpo” Movie Review

1 Comment

Set in the picturesque locales of Rome, Netflix’s latest Italian romance “Nuovo Olimpo” is a nostalgic reminiscence of lost love and endurance. Directed by Turkish-Italian film director and screenwriter, Ferzan Özpetek, the film leaves a lot to speculations and random “What if’s”. Maybe it is because the film’s trajectory was designed to showcase a cinematic experience shadowing the lives of two closeted men in 1970s. The rustic cinematography does bring back fond memories of old cinema, but the nostalgia ends once the main leads are separated. If you have watched “Your Name Engraved Herein”, then “Nuovo Olimpo” might strike a jarring resemblance to the Taiwanese classic. Ferzan Özpetek does his level best to depict a gay romance in difficult times and the message does resonate with the current times as well. Homophobia is still prevalent and existent, so the deliverance isn’t lost. And yet, something is missing. Join us as we talk about this movie in depth!
