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...
I am sure I have mentioned before in my blog the concept of "Pink Films" from Japan. Pink films are films that deal with sexual, adult content, but compared to the typical adult film, a Pink film features much tenderer or much more artistic expressions. This film probably doesn't have tender love, but it's focused more on the S&M practices of gay sex. I wonder of this was really a thing back in the 80s in Japan.
As you can expect, the plot is paper thin. Yuki is a young man who lives with his brother. One day while walking he meets an old friend of his and they reconnect. When he goes back home that night, he finds out that his brother has a girlfriend, so he leaves home (don't ask why). He goes back to his friends house and they make passionate love. Interestingly this friend works in a. Gay S&M club that puts up shows for audience so Yuji also gets a job here. But after a while he has had enough and both Fuji and his friend want to quit job, but the owners won't let them and in fact they kidnap the boys and torture them much more than the shows. This is when the elder brother comes and saves them both for them to live happily ever after.
Even though it may feel there is a story here, which there is but that maybe lasts about 10-15 minutes. In this hour long film, focus is more on the actual S&M scenes where everything happens. Dick rubbing, nipple playing, rods being inserted into anus and everything else that could have been shown without actually showing the penis. If you removed all sex scenes, you could say that the film tries to explore the subject of two men seeking independence by exploring their sexuality but yet are made vulnerable by the chains of capitalism. But unfortunately, the point of this film is titilation and is clearly focused on men who are very much into gay S&M, which takes up almost 90% of the films running time. (2.5/10)
