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...
Just Out Of Reach (USA)
A young man wakes up alongside an older gentleman. As he tries to sneak out, he is caught in the act. An ultra-short film that captures a brief moment in time, this is about that feeling of uncertainty upon remembering the night before.
Toto Forever (USA)
Through flashbacks we work out that a young delivery boy gets involved with a gangster who owes money, with a violent outcome. It owes a lot to the manga tradition, and indeed slips in and out of graphic depiction. Its a complicated story more than it meets the eye.
Men Don't Cry (Greece)
Petros is surprised to receive a visitor Ilias, a younger man whom he met several years before on a night out. Petros wants his uninvited guest to leave, but Ilias is refusing to go. A film about confronting uncomfortable truths, the tense narrative is interspersed with grainy black and white footage of the night they met.
Alger La Blanche (France)
Its about relationship between Farid, of Algerian heritage, and his illustrator boyfriend Jean. Set in the suburbs of Paris, it tells us that Farid wants to return to Algeria and take his secret partner with him. But when Farid becomes embroiled in a police matter, both his passionate private life and conservative family life hurtle towards one another with explosive results.
Unconfessions (Brazil)
Luiz Galizia died young, one of the victims of the early days of the AIDS Crisis. He left behind a large personal archive of materials from his life, which his niece, Ana, has lovingly assembled into this documentary biopic thirty years later.
Same Difference (UK)
Twin brothers spend all their time with each other and we are also made to believe they are pursuing the same girl, till one of them makes a declaration of his own by kissing another boy from the team whom he likes. Sometimes twins may not know everything about each other.
Boychick (USA)
In the American suburbs, a decidedly ordinary boy is mollycoddled by his overbearing Jewish mother, who calls him Boychick. As he tries to build up enough courage to speak to his crush at school, he is suddenly visited with spectral assistance from pop sensation Ashley Hart, with whom he is obsessed.
Although this collection was historic and brings you blast from the past, I sadly hav etc say that none of the stories really held my attention. It was the shorter ones about twin brothers or the first one that I really cared about. (4/10)
