Friend Day the Series

Series Summary

A short series focusing on friendships and love. Even though this is sponsored by a Thai food company (expect product placements) each episode is a cute and happy slice-of-life story. (Source)

Genre

Review

Friend Day the Series is just a commercial for a Thai food company, but it sweet and unique. It shows the beginning of the relationship between friends. It sometimes shows you can’t be with everyone you like. Would you watch it again? Yeah, it’s short and sweet.

Cutter

Movie Summary

Yoon Jae moves to a new high school and starts hanging out with Se Joon, a mysterious student. Needing money for his sickly mother, Yoon Jae accepts a job offer by Se Joon. However, he doesn’t exactly know what it is. This movie will bring out cold sweats as tension never ends. (Source)

Review

Warning rape and human trafficking is a central problem and topic in Cutter. I warn the audience to be wary when watching this film since it does have triggering themes. Eclipse/Cutter first off is difficult to describe. It starts precisely how the summary describes. The acting is severe throughout the whole film. It makes you think it based on a true story. However, from my knowledge that it is not. It sounds like something found on several reports that you hear from the news, articles, and so forth. The ending is quite bittersweet if you can get the message that the actors and writers were trying to get through without saying any words. Would you watch it again? I might if it come back to my attention. However, most likely not since it shows a rape scene that leaves a bad feeling in your stomach.

Me and Mr. X Season 3: Goodbye Mr. X

Series Summary

A group of gay guys drinks at a party and all wake up to find themselves locked in a house with a killer on the loose. (Source)

Genre

Review

What the f*** did I watch? Me and Mr. X Season 3: Goodbye Mr. X is very confusing and messes up towards the end of the series. I will warn that I did not see the last episode because I can’t find it with English subs. This one is if you are looking for end game cuteness you will not get it. The fact that the whole series based on true stories is quite crazy. I will warn there are murder and suicide in this season. Would you watch it again? No, not really. However, I do recommend that you watch it for yourself.

Dangerous Boys

Movie Summary

Two rival high school gang leaders square off in Bangkok over honor, school pride, a girlfriend and rock-n-roll popularity. (Source)

Genre

Review

Dangerous Boys was dreadful. I got bored with the whole thing. I spend most of the movie, confused. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. The acting was okay. I feel it had many plot holes that not explained. They should have made it into a tv series so we could get to understand the characters and fix the plot. Would I watch it again? No. I might if there was a remake, but this movie just was so dull.

Mr. X and I Season 2

Series Summary

Season 2 of the “Mr. X and I” series. This time the story focuses on Xu Zhengxi, a boy who unexpectedly found himself falling in love with his straight best friend Tao Ye. (Source)

Genre

Review

Mr. X and I Season 2 is frustrating. I had to take a break in the middle of it because I want to slap people. One, why the f*** would you choose your new girlfriend over your best friend? Two, why would continue to invite your friend knowing he like you? Three, why would you continue to go when your ex-friend ask you to come to things? All I can say is the acting is impressive to get me this frustrated. The whole theme of this was you need to move on when someone who will not love you in public and will forever pick others over you. Would you watch this again? No, it is quite dull to me, and the ending is not the happiest.

Review

Irresistible Love 2 is fantastic if you get the happy ending version. There is a scene that almost goes into rape, but the person realizes before he could get any clothes off that he was hurting the one he loves. All I can say is that Shu Nian needs to be protected. I feel like the characters were in love before they knew they were in love with each other. Irresistible Love 2 is charming and shows the flaws that Xie Yan has. It has a proper meaning where you realize your faults when you found true love. Would I watch it again? Yes but only the happy ending. I was not emotionally prepared for crying my eyes out for the sad end.

Review

Mr. X and I-Promise You A City just made me feel nothing. I feel sorry for the one that got cheated on in Mr. X and I-Promise You A City. However, I don’t feel sorry for the cheater. I mean you cheated, what do you expect for them to stay together with you when you can’t wait for them. Would I watch this again? No, not really. It just shows that everyone gets cheated on no matter your sexual orientation.

Review

Irresistible Love – Secret of the Valet starts by introducing the characters and how they meet. Xie Yan is a unique character where he has terrible qualities like being greedy and selfish but still have respect for his employees. He greedy about Shu Nian like a childhood teddy bear where you had it from your time as a baby and kept it with you even in adulthood. Shun Nian knows him, and that help Xie Yan realize his feelings. The movie follows your attention. I’m having trouble describing the film. Their relationship is unique and special that needs to be cherished for the rest of their lives. Would I watch it again? Oh yeah, it a movie that I pause through once. I have trouble viewing things alone because I get second-hand embarrassment or just too much fluff in one scene that I need to pause and take the fluff in spoon fulls, not the whole bottle. However, there is a part two; it can change my mind.
