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 ...
I wish I knew before I started watching the film that this is another one of those Japanese pink films (soft porn). I should have read something before, because occasionally films like this one sneak in, which is NOT why I write this blog. I wanna write about non-porn stuff mostly. And this pink films from Japan fall in the grey area. Honestly I thought these were a thing from 90s. I didn't realize that even now some film makers are trying to cash in on the nostalgia probably.
Simple story here.Yuuki is the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. When he sees a young boy named Takeru, he reminds him of a crush he used to have on this guy in his younger days. He follows this boy and his boyfriend to his apartment. Frustrated, he goes back to some guy asking for a potion to make him young and lo behold, Yuuki is now a 23 year old man. He approaches Takeru and they have mad sex. Turns out because of family pressure, this was Yuuki's first time having sex with anyone. Suddenly a man enters, who happens to be Takeru's father Seiji. Seiji was always gay and his son knew about this but they had been estranged for 10 years. He recognizes the young version of Yuuki and they have a wrestling math for some reason. Suddenly Seiji start to feel weak. Since he used to be Yuuki's first love, he tries to get medicine form, which gives him energy for the two of them to have mad sex, only to make Yuuki and old man again and Seiji dies. Turns out Takeru always preferred od men, so he is happy that Yuuki is back in his life.
As you would expect of pink films, there are 3 very long and "artistically" done sex scenes between two men where you don't see anything but you get an impression of everything. I was not expecting much of a plot here. The purpose of the makers was clear and their target audience was also clear. Thankfully it was just an hour long and with double speed, it ended much sooner. The guys looked ok. Although it was funny to see Yuuki in his older version, since clearly they took the young actor, made his hair grey and added a mustache. It was height if fake makeup and just a lazy job. I am not expecting histrionics here. Overall, if pink films are your thing, then go for it. This is otherwise time wasted on soft porn, which, again I wonder, where is the market for it now? (2/10)
