Smoggie Queens: Season 2 (UK) (TV Series)

By Golu
The whole gang is back for season 2 and it's a really fun return. I watched both seasons one after the other, which probably didn't help, because coming straight off season 1 this one felt just a tiny bit flat by comparison. Not bad at all, just hard to live up to. Mam, Dickie, Stewart, Lucinda, Sal, Neil, everyone's back and still very funny. It picks up right where things left off, same madness, same crowd, six episodes, thirty minutes each. Dickie is single again and already on the hunt. Mam has some seriously uncomfortable history coming back to bite her. Sal is stuck in this messy situation between Danni and Mel, and Mel has started seeing someone new, this really insufferable TikTok type. Lucinda's thing with Neil hits a wall when she finds out his ex-girlfriend's name is tattooed on his back. Stewart is out and living his best life. Dickie deals with being single the only way he knows how, by making everything about himself and convincing himself every random...

The Mafia's Obsession (Vertical BL Drama)

By Golu
Continuing with watching DramaBox series, this is another series of multiple short episodes stitched together as a movie in vertical format so it is easily watchable on phone. As I might have mentioned before, these shows are total guilt pleasures and they beautiful fit within a 90 minute range (plus or minus) making it an easy watch.

The shows starts with one mafia taking over another's business and agrees to let him love, as long as his son Pietro can get married to his daughter Alice. 15 years later, Alice's brother Augusto can't stand that Alice will marry to mob son Pietro. He finds. Loophole in the contract and instead says that he will marry Pietro. What Augusto doesn't know is that since they were kids, Pietro has always like Augusto and he changed the contract to have that loophole. So Pietro very much loves Augusto but he doesn't believe it. Also with this marriage, the entire mafia community goes against this bog mafia family because they don't accept gay relationship. The rest of the show is about how slowly Pietro makes Augusto realize that he truly loves him and this is not some kind of game that he is playing. Pietro's team thinks that Augusto is a softie, so he also needs to prove he is worthy of being a member in the mafia organization. The two clash frequently. Moments of vulnerability surface, hinting at a deeper connection that neither expected, while Augusto also trying to understand that Pietro truly and deeply loves him despite all his philandering ways in these past years. In the process we see how both. Their fathers eventually agree to their relationship and accept their love.

Like all drama box shows, this one also looks polished with some really good looking actors. You do not need to take any of it seriously and just enjoy for the sake of it. This story actually had a bit of ups and down, since we see how Pietro has to convince his husband of his true love, while Augusto not only has to see that love but also train himself to prove that he is worthy of being in the Mafia. In addition to all this, he also has to take some mafia tests put together by Paietro's father, only post which he will be fully indoctrinated in to the family and mafia business. Total guilty pleasure, we do get see two hot guys, a lot of shirtless scenes, some sexual scenes but nothing very sensual. Just enough. Sadly there are not many kisses which is what I would have liked to see. Augusto with his chiseled face here is the real charmer and actor playing Pietro brings in this Spanish kinda Mafia charm. Overall a decent time pass and something to watch while you are traveling easily on your phone. (6/10)

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.

Drug Shore (Chinese)

By Golu
Apparently tis film was adapted by a true story Well, true or not, movies/series about drugs are not easy to watch. I have always said that drugs is like the end of life for anyone. For those who sink into this sea of addiction, some manage to swim upstream to recovery, while others cannot make it to the shore. The film may not be the best, but it does have a noble intention to remind everyone of the evil affects of drugs and combining that with sex. Ah Zhe is in a happy relationship with his influencer boyfriend. On his partner's birthday, they end up going to a party, which interestingly is being hosted at a drug dealer's house and this is where for the first time he is exposed to the world of drugs. The duo somehow do it just enough and come back home but next day Ah She gets invited by the dealer Xiao Fei for a meal. The dealer has a soft corner for Ah Zhe, but before anyone realizes, Ah Zhe's life spirals out of control when slowly he starts doing more and more drugs, ...

Gaya Sa Pelikula (Filipino Series) [Like In The Movies]

By Golu
Pinoy BL series seem to be catching up to the popularity of the Thai shows. And I must say that they are doing a pretty good job at it. Where Thai series started to get repetitive with so many shows based in a college setting with seemingly similar storylines, Pinoy series are offering the viewers with new and interesting stories and some really good sets and surroundings. This series was 8 episodes of about 25-20 minutes each. Karl, a 19-year old introvert architecture student is in the middle of an identity crisis. Prior to the start of the second semester in college and forced by his parents, he moves into his uncle's condominium unit so that he can learn to be financially independent. Karl takes on odd jobs online to do so. But when one of his major clients suddenly goes MIA, he is left short on funds and without a means to pay for his utilities. An opportunity presents itself when his cocky neighbor Vlad has to hide from his family and proposes to share Karl's space for th...
