Chained To My Bully Stepbrother (AI Vertical BL Drama)

By Golu
This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat.  The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...

Make A Wish (Filipino Series)

By Golu
This series' execution was amazingly amateurish. When you start with a basic story, get some bad actors and do a shoddy job of direction, even the smallest of episodes becomes very challenging to sit through. At 6 episodes of about 20-25 minutes and a seventh special episode, this show is not worth your time. I am never gonna be able to recover the time I invested in this crap. 

Isko is a young boy who lives with his aunt and some dream haunts him. He gets bullied by a social alled friend Tonyo whenever they cross paths. Isko is shy and is repeatedly told he is ugly. One day at the coffee shop, a mysterious lady leaves a cross necklace for him. And then we have young boy Alexeuz who comes to Earth from another planet to complete his mission, which he doesn't know what he mission is. He meets Isko by chance and slowly it turns out his mission might be to help Isko and fulfill his wishes. It turns out there ewes a guy named Zion, whom Tonyo used to like, but Zion prefers Isko's company. But in a misunderstanding, when Tonyo sends men to beat up Isko, they accidentally beat up Zion who then dies. And this is the past that keeps haunting Isko. Isko's wish is to forget past and make life better for him. Magically Tonyo has a change of heart and the two boys are friends.

Firstly, I am not sure honestly if this was a BL show. Yes, we all plenty of trans characters, but none of the leads was shown gay or had gay kissing or anything. What was Zion's relationship with either Isko or Tonyo is never actually clarified. In fact both Tonyo and Isko are seen wanting to date a girl. So I am confused when I read everywhere that to was a gay relationship. I thought the arrival of alien (hahaha) would make things spicy and interesting but that also was such a yawn. The guy Alexeuz would randomly keep showing up and then disappear throughout the day. The whole thing was so childish and amateurish that I can't even begin to write. Each of the character just rambles away for no reason and there was no reason this series should have ever been made. Also, what was up with telling Isko like 10 times every episode on how ugly he is. I just don't get it. And then he has a magical makeover after going to these spas and salons. WTF!! How was that relevant to anything that was going on. Please stay away from this one. (2/10)

Phor Lae Lukchai (Thai) [Father & Son]

By Golu
I think the budget of this film was probably too small, but for that, the film definitely offers a different and unique storyline without over dramatizing anything. Yes, some scenes were a bit amateurish but in the bigger scheme of things, that can be overlooked. The film is both beautiful and sad in its own unique way. Aek is a gay dad, whose partner died right around the time their son Nueng was born through surrogacy in a road accident. The relationship between father and son is unpleasant and unstable. We are not really told why, but it seems the father has been unsuccessful in caring and loving his son because of his partner's death. Aek continues to hook up wit hookers. Also, Nueng is constantly bullied by everyone around him for having a gay dad. He has no friends, except Nat, a neighborhood boy, who also happens to be Nueng's boyfriend. In a sudden turn of events Nat is found murdered along with another boy naked. Saddened by the events, Nueng jumps from roof and k...

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

By Golu
Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him. ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide. Unknown to him, he is saved by mysterious man Yoda Ryoji, and he wakes up finding himself tied up in leather and belts in a very BDSM setting. This mysterious saver soo...

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

By Golu
Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...
