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.

Belle is known for her beauty throughout the whole school and she has always been successful in getting the man that she wants. Yet her charms don’t seem to work when it comes to a junior boy named S that she has taken a liking to. Determined to get S, Belle asks for the help of her two best friends. (Source)

Genre

Review

Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy starts very dully and sluggish. It just couldn’t keep my attention, and I got distracted easily at the begin. It has a lot of moments throughout it that is cringy and gives you second-hand embarrassment. However, once I got close to the end of the second episode, it started to catch my attention. I will say that the romantic plotline is lacking excessively, but the friendship plotline has more depth to it. I feel S and his friends had a normal healthy relationship. However, at times, I didn’t like Bella and her friends’ friendship. I did love the personalities of Bella’s friends. I feel as being part of the western culture to watch it has a lot of red flags about an unhealthy relationship. Bella lies, stalks, and forces her self in S’s life. Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy does not have an unsatisfactory ending. Would you watch it again? No, I feel like for me this is just a one time watch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Movie Summary

Continued from part 1, both Xie Yan and Shu Nian were still unable to deal with their feelings for each other, but Xie Yan realizes that Shu Nian is the one for him, but Shu Nian continues to hide from Xie Yan. Meanwhile, Ke Luo created a ruckus in the company’s dinner organized by Xie’s Holdings, but is saved by Shu Nian for the second time. Xie Yan is then sent overseas for a project, and Shu Nian and Ke Luo gets closer after celebrating Ke Luo’s birthday. Eventually, Ke Luo confessed his feelings to Shu Nian, who will soon be away to study, but the latter’s heart is still with Xie Yan. Xie Yan later breaks up with Jiang Yao, and Xie Yan’s mind confusion has an impact on his future fiance, Xia Jun. Xia Jun uses her crafty ideas to get to Xie Yan, but later Xie Yan tells Xia Jun that he has already gotten a new love and that the person is Shu Nian. Soon, Jiang Yao who is unable to deal with the breaking up with Xie Yan, engages some men to rape Shu Nian, but Xie Yan saves him. Later Xia Jun contracts food poisoning and is sent to the hospital. Shu Nian is later fired by Xie Yan’s father, after confessing to Xie Yan that he was the one who poisoned her. In the end, the medical report is produced, showing that Xia Jun’s food poisoning is due to the three cups of mocha that she had drunk hours before she was about to meet Shu Nian. Devastated that his father has sent Shu Nian away, Xie Yan’s relationship with his father sours, particularly since the older Xie already knew about the relationship between Xie Yan and Shu Nian.

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.
