A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
Guo Xiao Mei, a rich girl that one day crosses Gu Zhi, a young actor that works as an instructor at this VIP gym in the same building as her office. That same instant because of a misunderstanding, she thinks of him as gay. Given that she is a fujoshi, she goes to the gym to sign a 5 year VIP membership but would only do that if Gu Chi admits he is gay, and so he pretends to be gay to lure her into buying 5 year premium membership at the gym. When when the girl sees the gym supervisor, she immediately end sup shipping them together as a couple. During the 8 episode there's a lot of funny scenes including sexual jokes and funny situations with Gu Zhi, Quin Nan and the other clients of the gym.
Some of the episodes were quite funny while a couple were drag, to be honest. The girls' charming enthusiasm to ship two very handsome guys in the gym kept the show alive. Also I loved almost all the scenes where she would go to the gym but do everything else except workout and would also be able to justify it. The two guys were actually quite hot and it also felt that almost in every episode Gu Chi would end up fantasizing about his supervisor based on whatever situation the girl would say but immediately come to senses. There is a lot of daydreaming kind of situations here. Some of the other side characters are also fun to watch like the receptionist, the old cleaning guy, the overweight girl who thinks the young actor was trying to seduce her and another muscle body builder who grunts in the gym everytime he exercises. Overall, a series for total time pass, something that doesn't require too much brains. You just watch, occasionally laugh and then just forget. (5/10)
