“Ossan’s Love Returns” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

1 Comment

“Ossan’s Love Returns” continues the adventures of Japanese gay couple Maki and Haruta after the events of the first season and the follow-up movie. Ironically even after years of being together the two 30+ years old men have a thing or two to learn about everything. Luckily the entire cast of the original series is present to offer life lessons to the pair along the way. That being said most lessons are given to Haruta (the man needs all the help he can get) on maintaining a relationship and how to treat his husband.

“Although I Love You, and You?” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Leave a comment

Romantic love isn’t predictable, making it one of the most exhilarating, heart-pounding emotions to experience. And while it’s generally a beautiful feeling, it’s also scary and vulnerable. Exposing your heart to someone isn’t an easy feat.

“Beyond the Star” Series Review (Ep.3 to 8)

Leave a comment

After completely watching the series, I only felt one thing, which was what the hell happened in last few episodes because it felt incomplete. Empty plot lines, rushed ending and no character development. Even in romantic sense, there was no development. Sure there was intimacy but it felt too much scripted after certain time because it felt like, instead of creating a solid story line, the writer and director were too focused on repetitive and boring intimate scenes between the couples. Some scenes were good but most of them were bland and boring. The main thing around dancing and singing, since they were trying to create a boyband.

“Dead Friend Forever” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)

Leave a comment

“Dead Friend Forever” (DFF) is a slasher/horror series, about 8 friends who take a trip to a vacation house as a farewell to their friend who is going to study abroad. While on the trip, in the middle of nowhere, it becomes clear that there is a sinister presence that is attacking the boys, and past secrets seem to be haunting them. The boys now have to play a game of cat and mouse with the killer, while some of them are hiding their secrets, about what really happened to their friend, and a “Lord of the Flies”-esque survival game becomes afoot, as the original crew Top (Jet Bundit), Por (Us Nititorn), Tee (JJay Patiphan), Fluke (Bump Pawat), Jin (Copper Phuriwat) and Tan (Mio Athens) tries to hide their acts, from their partners Phi (Ta Nannakun), White (Fuaiz Thanawat) while the audience try to figure out what really happened and what is causing the killings.

“Boys Like Boys” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)

Leave a comment

I have been watching reality tv dating shows for as long as I can remember and no matter how much other people found it refreshing and true, I always felt every moment of it was scripted. Whether it is about their interaction, connections, fight or arguments, for me everything felt fake and too much formulaic.

“The Servant and the Young Master” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)

Leave a comment

Once again, the Vietnamese prove their superiority in BL story telling over other countries with their big budgets and slick productions. Not only do they portray a human story, but, because of budget constraints, do so in a short period. Can you imagine if they had the money to put on full productions what these BLs would be like? And yet, the interest in Vietnamese BLs is obviously nowhere near those of Thai or Korean, which I find sad and disheartening. Why? Because most of these stories are relatable, connect to us personally, and genuinely touch us on an emotional level. This one is no exception to that axiom. It tells a deeply profound story not just in acting but in words as well. This is very well written.

“Dinosaur Love” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)+ Final Story (Ep.9+10)

Leave a comment

There is no myths here; that went extent along with the dinosaurs. Instead, it is a jumbled incoherent mess of disorganized shifts of scenes packed with individuals for the most part that are astonishingly unlikable, dumb as a box of rocks, naĂŻve, and caricatures. Some are decidedly despicable creatures as well.
