“PURE VANILLA”: JUST THE EXACT INGREDIENT IN THE RECIPE FOR LOVE
Recently, I had the opportunity to interview the director and performers of a short BL series that has simply taken off with little fanfare. Mostly by word-of-mouth. It was produced by a small independent production company called 250 Films founded by Ng Yu Wen. The name of this short gem was PURE VANILLA, starring Braven Yeo as Gabriel and Deng Xun as Charlie. It was written and directed by a remarkable young individual named Mickey Hiah. The first episode, if you will, is just over 9 minutes long and came out about 10 months ago on YouTube and has over 150,000 views, which is remarkable. Then just over a month or so ago, they released Episode 2 called PURE VANILLA: RECIPE FOR ROMANCE. Already it has nearly 170,000 views with an astonishing number of positive comments about its content. This episode introduced a new character named Alex (Leon Koh) who added a new element to an existing recipe of love.

“The Servant and the Young Master” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)
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)
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, naïve, and caricatures. Some are decidedly despicable creatures as well.

“Absolute Zero” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
This is a touching, sentimental journey of young love that was brilliantly done in the beginning but then got lost in its time journeys to recapture its past. While in some ways the story was exceptional, its execution was unfortunately lacking in logic. Initially it had me hooked on the strength of its young actors playing the parts of their younger selves. Simply put, they were brilliant.
