Love Love You

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.

Method

Movie Summary

A veteran actor and an idol are starring together in a play called ‘Unchain’. 
In the play, their characters become involved in a relationship and as they rehearse, the distance between reality and fiction starts to get blurry… (Source)

Genre

Review

Method is up to the audience on what they think is happening. It is hard to tell what is real and what is acting in the movie. The acting is impressive and something that needs more attention. Method is the type of film where you have to see it several times and still not know what the exact point of view that the writers are trying to get to the audience. I would read the comments on MyDramaList after watching it. The plot discussed, and you can hear the different point of views that the audience saw. Would you watch it again? Yeah, I like to see if I can notice anything I didn’t notice the first time watching this.

Water Boyy The Series

Series Summary

This series is based on the 2015 movie Waterboyy. Waii is the most popular member and captain of the Ocean College swimming club. He has a difficult relationship with his father who is also the team’s coach. Apo is the latest swimmer to join the club and Waii’s new roommate. (Source)

Review

Water Boyy The Series is entirely different from the movie. I would say wait a few days after watching one to watch the other. The cutest scene in the series is the one with the blind man. I think it helps people realize who is faithful and who is the only here for you for this phase of your life. I felt like sometimes I was like addicted and then other times just felt like it dragged. The female coach gives me creepy pedophile vibes. I think the ending was to satisfies straight people more than the lgbt+ community. I felt like the end occurs rushed. Water Boyy The Series is label as BL but has more plot about the side straight couples than the actual main couple. I think most people fell in love with the relationship between Kluay and Ashi because of all the bad tropes with the main couple. Would I watch it again? Maybe if there was a second season which focuses more on the main couple or the relationship between Kluay and Ashi.

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.

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.

Genre

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.

Episode Summary

A happy gay couple celebrates their third anniversary but the relationship is threatened by a mother who wants her only son to have a proper family with kids. The other guy is willing to sacrifice the relationship so his boyfriend can be happily married to a woman. (Source: I got this summary from KainGuru’s review) 

Genre

Review

Mr. X and I – The Groomsman ending is not the happiest. Mr. X and I – The Groomsman shows the dynamics of traditional Chinese culture. The fact that people have sham weddings to make their families happy is sad. Families don’t realize that arrange marriage does more bad than good. It’s worsted if the spouse that you don’t love doesn’t know from the beginning. It shows the sacrifices that Eastern civilization does to make their blood family happy. People of western culture/civilization, don’t have the duty of getting married to make their family happy by sacrificing their happiness. I don’t know how common it is in eastern culture. In this episode, the main reason for the sham marriage is gossip and respect from the community. Would I watch it again? I don’t know. I know I would recommend it to people to see how different parts of the world deal with specific situations.
