It is honestly exhausting to sit through another terrible series like this. I have noticed the same group of actors popping up in several of these subpar Filipino BL projects before, and they just don't seem to get any better. The production value is bottom-tier, the acting is painful to watch, and there is hardly enough plot here to even justify calling it a show. I get that a lot of these were made as passion projects during or right after the pandemic, but it is 2026 now, and there is just no excuse for this kind of poor execution. It really should have just been a quick short film instead of stretching it out. At least it only has six episodes that run about 15 minutes each, so you can fly through it pretty fast if you’re unlucky enough to start it. The plot is about as basic as it gets. We follow a guy named Sam who is stuck in a major emotional rut. He has been in a steady, loving relationship for years, but he can't stop obsessing over his ex, Travis. Apparently, Travis ...
Every weekend the gay male choir G-Voice rehearses in Seoul – as they have been doing since 2003. The choir, being a kind of antidote to homophobic Korean society, makes the everyday lives of gay men its theme in an intelligent and humorous way. For their tenth anniversary, the members are planning to give their first big concert with ambitious arrangements, creative choreographies and many new pieces. This really puts these amateur singers to the test because the enthusiasm of some members outweighs their vocal abilities, whilst others work themselves into the ground as voluntary organisers. Besides preparing for their big day, G-Voice is also politically active, singing for equality and serenading against discrimination, and not just at LGBTQ demos.
This is the basic premise of the film. But what makes it extremely interesting is the stories of some of its prominent members: right from their childhood, to their dating stories in and out of the choir, their heartbreaks, the general homophobia they have faced and most importantly the amazing friends circle that this group has made who are always there for each other in thick and thin. Almost every single person the crew talks to has an inherent charm from the way they speak and how much they are willing to share. As I mentioned before, A huge kudos to the director of this documentary for succeeding in giving a different perspective of gay men in South Korea. Some of the music sequences have been directed in a filmy way which makes watching them very pleasant. We see them rehearsing, chit chatting over meals etc. Filmed in the style of glossy music videos, G-Voices’ set-pieces provide a commentary, among other things, on the men’s experiences of Korean society, their conservative families and a gay joy of life. But as I mentioned before, for some reason the same novelty that drew me into this film in the beginning very soon started to wear off. This could be just me personally butI feel a tighter and shorter duration of the documentary could have had a more successful story. (5.5/10)
