If you've been following along with these Japanese Pink films, you already know the deal. An hour of simulated gay sex, a little story baked in, and a premise that's completely ridiculous but somehow keeps you watching. This one goes all in on the body swap fantasy, basically asking the question, what if you woke up one day inside your hot friend's body and could finally act out everything you've been keeping to yourself? Atsushi is gay and has been quietly carrying a crush on his childhood friend Yuma for years. They fell out of touch but end up back in each other's lives when they wind up at the same company. Yuma is straight and has a girlfriend, though things between them aren't exactly great. Then one day, after some kind of signing strike, the two men swap bodies, and suddenly Yuma is walking around in Atsushi's skin and Atsushi is living inside the guy he's been fantasizing about forever. Atsushi wastes zero time taking full advantage, fooling aro...
Mark had a crush on Bar but his heart gets broken. He gets drunk and meets Vee who knows Mark from common friends circle. See sees how drunk Mark is and is making sure that he is ok. In the process the two guys end up kissing. The next morning they are both embarrassed, especially since Vee has a girlfriend. But Mark starts having feelings for Vee and See feels the same and keeps finding excuses to spend time with Mark. But when Vee's friends tell him that his girlfriend has been cheating on him, he can't take it and he becomes a couple with Mark. The next two episodes focus on their courtship, jealousy, return of ex-girlfriend, more misunderstandings and finally the couple coming together and accepting each other.
Simple story, basic execution and amateur treatment; the series is saved by the cute Mark's smile and side glances that he looks Vee. Vee's character IMO is quite toxic. He keeps moving from Mark to girlfriend to back to Mark as per his convenience and even tries to justify it to Mark. Mark is no less and feels like a serial dater. The whole start of their relationship, the way to is carried forward and everything else, I can guarantee that in real life this couple won't last more than a few months. Also, there is a thin line between possessive and obsessive. The fact that he says that Mark cannot meet anyone, can't hang out with anyone, can't swim in front of anyone etc, would be a strict no-no in my books. He is clearly control freak, trying to prove he is the "man". Just marginally better than part one of this show, I would still rate this show as pretty low. Mark's charisma is the only saving grace here. (2.5/10)

They plan to make and release a longer version of this one this year apparently. I know you are super excited now Golu ;p
I hoep maybe they take more charming actors at least or just work super hard on the script.
The actors were the same as in the short version and there was something going on in every episode so I wouldn't call it slow, but everything else... send help, seriously.
Thats crazy !!
Starting to watch "Manner of Death". Hope it helps. It just has to.
