Review

Cherries in Early Summer is a short web series made from short video clips and mostly pictures. The format reminds me of doujinshi with voice actors. Since the series is so short, they’re a lot of plot holes that make the audience guess on. The flow was good at moments but awkward moments where it’s rushed. However, it was enjoyable for me. I will warn the video quality is poor, and it talks about suicide. The last episode the sound comes in and out. The ending is open for the audience. Not everything explained in the series which causes you to be put off from it. I did enjoy the music and the acting. Its something I wouldn’t expect anyone to go oh this is my favorite. It’s something that you would say like oh yes I have seen it. It is okay.

Nevertheless, I can say it something you could watch to pass the time or take a break from a long series kind of like a refresher. Would you watch it again? Maybe but most likely not. Its something I would recommend to see once.

Movie Summary

It was a full moon day in July, a day on which many Vietnamese believe spirits of the dead can return home. Mrs Yen was sleeping and she dreamt about Hung – her elder adopted son, who died many years ago. Why is Hung’s spirit returning? Is it to seek revenge for his death? – Mrs. Yen’s dream is a consequence of the relationship between her biological son and her adopted son. When they announced their love to the family, Mrs. Yen was devastated. She could not accept it and her efforts to keep them apart may have driven Hung to his death. In Vietnam, as elsewhere, parents are sure they know what’s best for their children. But the spirits may not be convinced… (Source)

Review

Warning this is a tearjerker. Rainbow Without Colours starts weird, but you should continue watching it because of it’s worth it. I want to thank the actors and actresses in Rainbow Without Colours for a fantastic job. I felt the emotions of the characters. Rainbow Without Colours is a movie that shows that you sometimes meet the middle ground for the ones you love. The father finds out, at first, I think he didn’t approve. However, he realizes that the older brother would them protest the young brother from anything. I think he slowly started to accept it. The sister realizes that they were in love, and separating them would cause them pain. Rainbow Without Colours is a massive example of how falling in love and losing our love can make someone go crazy. It also has the considerable theme of accepting your kids or family or friends for who they are and not trying to make a square fit in a triangle hole. It shows the problem with society. I mean, you don’t have to like two same-sex marriage. However, is your hate worth losing a person in your life? Would you watch this again? Yes, it made me think about what you should cherish in your life and accept people for who they are.

Review

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey 2 is season 2 of Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey, and it is a mess. I’m going to start by saying for some reason I couldn’t pay attention to the relationship drama between Emma and Porsche. I really can’t tell you anything that was going on with between their scenes. I even struggled to watch the Pick and Rome scenes because it was just a drama f**k. I wish this had been thought out and written better, but they just wrote the main point while being drunk. They should not have put added drama with Emma and Porsche. They should have been like Pick and Rome were in the first season but together. I do have to say I’m just glad that Our Sky is happening so I can get more on Pick and Rome’s relationship. The ending is all right. Would you watch it again? I don’t know. I felt bored for most of it. However, I am the type of person who tortures themselves.

Review

Rebirth is a Chinese movie made after the Chinese ban on LBGT+ media implemented. So you don’t get to see kissing or the “big” factor of them being in a relationship, but you can tell the actor, director, and everyone else who help make the movie made sure you could feel that they were in a romantic relationship by simple the closeness and a hug. However, since we have amazing people in the world, they have found the ending kiss scene/bed scene. I will say the movie is too short and has moments where it lacks natural development that you see in many films. However, it, not the worst I have ever seen. I enjoy it for the aspects of the movie. I wish that the ban gets lifted and they could remake it into a tv series. Then we could see the development of their relationship. I want to say all the actors and actresses did a fantastic job. You start to hate some characters. However, I don’t want to spoil who. Would you watch it again? Yes, it a movie little over an hour long and it has its sweet moments.

Review

The Right Man – Because I Love You is a short film about the mother and son bond changing as the son grows up. The Right Man – Because I Love You show how coming out and hiding a massive secret from your family affects your relationships. Warning rapey scene and underage sex at the beginning. However, the theme is to show how parents need to trust their kids to be independent to establish adulthood. I would recommend watching this because it has sweet moments in it. Would I watch it again? Yeah, it short and charming to the point. It is about acceptance and young love.

Review

The Right Man – Christmas Gift is just a 15-minute short film that is just pure fluff. It was excellent. The Right Man – Christmas Gift is kind of fast, but it sweet. I would recommend watching The Right Man – Christmas Gift if you need something short to entertain yourself. Would you watch it again? Yeah, it was cute and showed the love between these two.

Review

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey is very innocence with love. You have a boy who wants to have a club to help stray dogs and cats. The plot is at the right speed. The acting is above average, and I did like the process of how you see both couples fall in love. One pair is still on the fence of if they are a couple. However, it seems like they are closer to being a couple. Like most drama, there is a problem once the main couple gets close to revealing their feelings. I like how they do show what the club does to help animals. However, I think the main point of the theme is if you are going to face your fears do it in small steps and do it with the people you know. Would you watch it again? Yeah, it was, and the chemistry that the actors have with each other is fantastic. Since it is compact, I would recommend this to everyone.

Movie Summary

Part 2 of Love’s Coming movie.  (Source)

Genre

Review

Love Love You is the sequel to Love Coming. You must watch it first! You know this was going to be bad quick when you introduce your boyfriend as your neighbor. Most of the time, when you have a love triangle, you always hate the one who is breaking your ship. However, Sunz is the sweetest. There is some heartfelt moment between Gump and his mom. This movie theme is that communication is key to your relationship. I can see the symbolism that they were trying to show with the kiss between Nai and Bon. It is that Nai having old feelings reappear for Bon. When they kiss, he realizes that his affections for Gump are stronger. It also can be like this is the last kiss to close this old relationship that will never happen again. This scene does not mean I think doing this is the right thing. I do believe their friends are still funny. It was sweet that they still care for Gump and Nai relationship enough to help get them back together. Would I watch it again? Maybe if I was bored. I would recommend viewing both movies.

Review

Love’s Coming is amusing. Love’s Coming is more innocence love’s with some comedy. Gump’s friends are people we wish to surround ourselves and have in our lives. They supported him and genuinely cared. Love’s Coming has some cringy/secondhand embarrassment in the beginning. I like how they show us how the main couple falls in love. I enjoy Nai’s girlfriend, Soda. She really could see that he wasn’t in love with her and made the decision that you have to let go when you know the other is in love. She even showed some support for Gump and Nai relationship. I do have to say one character that I enjoy that wasn’t the friends was the Aunty Character. I like that he told his story of heartbroken love. I know it would end sad and break my heart, but I would watch a short film about the Aunty’s story because past to present different and it’s a story that happens in real life over and over again to people across the globe.

Review

Dark Blue and Moonlight is just a roller coaster ride. It shows infinity and destiny that play in a relationship. The leading character/pair you are going to either hate or love. I think this show is more realize too how the world works. It shows the what-ifs of life. I will say I like the characters Yan Fei and Ping Jun. Yan Fei notices his relationship didn’t have the love and passion that they did before, so he broke up. Ping Jun is just another story. I feel like most viewers love him because he is a likable character. The acting was average, but the kisses and sex scenes were intense then I have seen in other BL series/movies. The central theme in this if you have to let them go and if they genuinely love you, they will come back. If you end at episode 12, you will have an open ending. However, they have made 3 or 4 additional episodes that take place three years later. Would you watch it again? Mostly not because it is a languid pace at the beginning. I started to struggle with watching this.
