Honestly I can't believe we're still getting BL series this bad in 2026. This mini series runs about 7 to 8 episodes with a total runtime of just about an hour and it is so boring that I genuinely struggle to find the words. The actors are awkward, the story is as basic as it gets and there is almost nothing about this show worth saving. The makers do try to stir up some drama here and there but even that falls completely flat. Ho Won is a 23 year old university student who spots a man sitting alone at a gay bar and gets attracted to him. The man is Min U, a 33 year old who brushes Ho Won off immediately saying he's too young. Ho Won lies about his age and since he's made a bet with the bartender that he'll get this man home before the night is over, he switches tactics and eventually the two end up at Min U's place and sleep together. Despite being complete opposites in every way there's some kind of pull between them and they go on a couple of dates. But t...
Christian is a college news reporter, very gay, who is all set out to interview Epiphany, the niece of the only living person to escape a gender-changing Siren, eleven years earlier. In this context, Siren i someone who changes their appearance and seduces people and kills them (I think!). During the interview, Epiphany tells Christian the story of her uncle, who was a devout religious man and eleven years ago, he is called in by a man Danny to narrate his story about the Siren. Danny recounts how he was seduced by a man in middle of nowhere. When he doesn't respond in a couple of days, his boyfriend Kevin goes out in search of him and is also seduced by the same man, the Siren. Then random cuts happen, hallucinations happen and I believe both Danny and Kevin are killed (and maybe turned into Sirens? It was never very clear). Post this interview, Epiphany's uncle is approached by a sexy woman (the latest Siren), but since he is a devout religious man, he escapes her and Epiphany is telling the story to Christian but could Epiphany himself be a Siren?
First of all, since the film is a bot non-linearly told, it is difficult to follow what's going on. An interview within an interview makes it confusing and constant changing faces of the same person doesn't help. There is a lot of gay sex and nudity that are clearly there to titillate the audience. There is absolutely no need for those extended scenes. And then there are random mentions like Epiphany's uncle is caucasian and his brother is Vietnamese. Why does it matter of David slept with Kevin and both his sisters. What good does that do to the story? I am not very sure. Was there a motive behind showing Epiphany as transgender? The random sexual tension between Christian and his room mate. I mean, why do we need all these random distractions in an already otherwise confused film.
This is a very mediocre film which is not much good for anything to be honest, except for some good sex scenes and plenty penis shots. Do not waste your time. This movie could have been an excuse ten years ago but definitely not when it is made in 2019. (2/10)
