Weekend Exclusives
Another unrushed week with few announcements but some surprising updates. As May ends, and we step into the month of June, the downpour is reasonably declining with production houses mostly focusing on shows that are set to premiere next month.
Midweek Updates
Last week was rather slow, with few announcements. We don’t know if the momentum will pick up this week, but we are bringing you the scarce amount of updates that graced the social network in the last few days.
Weekend Exclusives
The announcements this week have been keeping us on our toes. Honestly, we are surprised but GMMTV seems to be on spree to make our weekends binge worthy. We have not one but three shows airing next month on weekends and the exclusives keep piling!
“Takumi Kun Series” Movie Review
The “Takumi-kun Series” is a romance drama that follows the lives of high school students Takumi (Yanagishita Tomo), a reclusive guy who has a PTSD from being sexually assaulted, which results in him having a phobia against being touched, and Saki “Gii” Giichi (Kato Keisuke), a popular guy who woes Takumi and helps him overcome his phobia. The series highlights the importance of friendship, and although the first movie shies away from the notion of toxic masculinity in such an important way that it highlights the triumph of friendship and love both in the romantic and platonic aspects of life. Takumi and Gii are surrounded by their friends who help them whenever they are experiencing difficulties in their relationship, and they in turn are always there for their friends. While heavier subject matters are confronted, the audience is safe in these movies as the writers do not devastate for the sake of devastating the audience.
