Opposites Attract (Korean Mini-Series)

By Golu
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...

Sneak Me in Your Closet: Lost in Deja Vu (Vertical BL Drama)

By Golu
Was this sequel needed? Probably not, but I am still not complaining. These vertical shows help me keep my mind on something while I use the treadmill. Having said that it was nice to see Gabe and Seb again in a familiar setting with the continuation of the story with some new people. Oh well, here we go.

Seb and Gabe are ow happily married but this season starts with Gabe getting attacked, while Seb is out in Mexico. When he. Comes back, he finds out that Gabe has amnesia, has lost his memory to certain extent and is. Now about to marry a girl. He tries to interfere the wedding but when he realizes that Gabe doesn't remember anything, he pulls back. He then gets himself hired as one of the bodyguards for Gabe and every time Gabe sees and touches Seb, he feels deja vu, as of he knows this man from somewhere. Meanwhile Gabe's wife wants to have sex with him but he keeps avoiding the situation and in th process keeps coming closer to Seb and spending more time with him. Meanwhile, one of Seb's assistant takes care of the wife's physical needs. The guy also ships Seb and Gabe (not knowing about their past) and nicknames them Sebriel. Anyway the show proceeds in a manner where the more time the two spend with one another, the more Gabe feels strong connection to Seb. But the villains are still out there to get them, notable the Romano mafia head (who happens to be Seb's uncle) and also Gabe's father and his wife (who is Italian mafia). Of course all is well in the end, when Gabe gets back all his memory when Seb gets shot by mafia but an older lady who has been helping out Gabe in his restaurant comes to the rescue. Lo Behold, turns out this lady is Seb's mother, who, as per Seb's uncle was dead. The happy couple are back together and bad guys get the boot.

This season has every trope from the first season with the added drama of Gabe's amnesia. He remembers some things from past but not all. I did like that he would get flashbacks every tie he was near Seb or touched him. So it was almost like watching Gabe and Seb fall in love all over again. The two actors felt more in their character this season which is understandable since they have lived it once. They still had great chemistry and both of them really look very fine and hot and sexy. We still get a few good kisses. Also, I liked the comic relief brought by Seb's good looking assistant who names them Sebriel. He was kinda cute. Overall, strictly ok, just like its predecessor. At least it was not stretched unnecessarily. (4.5/10)

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. 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...

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, ...

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...
