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 ...

Suntiny (Thai Series)

By Golu
This series was sooo boring and bad, I can't even begin to explain. I really tried to give this a chance, but it just kept getting repetitive and there was absolutely nothing exciting about it. The storyline is painfully slow with constant body-switching and trust me it is not in an interesting way Thankfully the show as 10 episodes of 30-35 minutes each, but I can't believe how bad it was.

Sun (a teacher) and Nuea ( a flamboyant gay)  are in a relationship but their sex life is not going well since Sun can't get it up. After various doctors visits, Sun decides to go to a shaman. The guy gives him a soap to wash himself with on a full moon night but make sure he is alone when doing that. As Sun drops the soap into the bath and gets ready for shower Nuea appears and forces himself to join him (no explanation on why couldn't Sun tell him the truth). The lights start to flicker and when they wake up they realize they have switched bodies. After the initial screams and confusion they go to shaman to solve this problem, but he knows only half of the trick. He is still looking for remaining half of it, which essentially tells him that ‘they will switch back bodies when it is time’. All this literally happens in the the first two episodes and the following episodes are all about the couple's journey in each other's body (while still struggling to get physical intimacy). There was some side couple, and also some sort of villain which didn't make any sense to the overall story.

This has got to be one of the worst BL stories I have seen in recent times. Every single episode feels the same. There is no real story, no real drama points, nothing. The lead actors acting is bad and the plot makes no sense at all. They kept switching bodies/souls back and forth, which made the entire story messy and confusing. What was meant to be a light-hearted, meaningful series where two people learn about each other turned into a disaster. The sex scenes were poorly handled, the side couple was bland. This is a great example of bad story, bad direction and "why the hell was this series made" award. Really badly executed, repetitive and absolute cringe. (1/10)

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...
