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.

Movie Summary

Genre

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

My Lil Boy 2 gave me mix feelings that I can’t explain. I was only watching to see how it would end. I still have second-hand embarrassment for the characters. One of the main problems in this season is S is changing himself for Bella which in the first season Bella had tried and realized that is exhausting to be someone who you are not. I wish that they didn’t introduce new characters like Toy and Mayrin, to have add drama. I wish they had just worked with the characters that they had from season 1. I would say they drew season 2 out for a good reason except for that season 1 was too short of putting all the drama they want in 6 episodes. However, I think this is the writers’ style for Senior Secret Love Series because Puppy Honey 1&2 is the same way. My attention was lost a few time in this show. I was mostly rolling my eyes at the characters for their dumb decisions and what they were saying. I hate that the characters would ask yes or no question like do you like me and then get an answer like I don’t you should change to fit in my life, you should be you.
As an audience member, I just thought how is that a right answer to a yes or no question. If someone you like can’t answer a yes or no question with yes or no, then move on, they are just wasting your time. I love the characters of Bella’s friends, P’Pang and Aom, S, and Taewin. This season just made me love them. I hate Bella, P’Boss, and P’Orn. Would you watch this again? No, I had an awful time keeping my concentration on this show.

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.

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.

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

Long Time No See is an excellent short series that has a unique plotline. The acting is brilliant. In this series, you feel the love they have for each other. I wish it wasn’t so quick and had had the time to developed better. However, this series is an underappreciated series. This series has violence in it. Even though the series is about assassins/hitman, it has it just sweet lovey moments that make you fall in love with the main characters. I would recommend this series if you have about an hour and 30 minutes to waste. The only bad part of the series was the ending. I don’t know why I didn’t like it and its not something you expect from the series. Would you watch it again? Yes, I would watch this and get my friends interested in this. It’s so sweet and lovely.

Review

The Moment starts at misplacing place. It can be confusing a little if you don’t have a mind that fills up the parts of the story that are missing. The ending leaves you guessing on what happens. I really can’t explain the real problems without spoiling it for everyone. I can say it ends with a cliffhanger and you the watcher have to fill up what you think to happen. It feels like it a sequel or prequel to another thing. It feels unfinished. I felt like it just dragged on like a waiting room in a doctor office. You are expecting something to pick up or develop to catch your attention, but there are too many loose ends at the end. I would recommend this to someone because it may just not be a movie for me. Would you watch it again? No. I feel like there are numerous missing pieces in the story. I got bored of it quick. I did enjoy what I think are the end couples.

Review

Okay, I am going to be upfront with everyone. If you have any terrible experience with rape, consent, or stalker-like obsession with someone, DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!!! HIStory: Obsessed has the key components to cause someone who has been through that situation to have a panic attack. I know that the writers, producers, and directors were trying to play this off like they were destined to be together. The story is a beautiful theme. It just hits on the line on consent and nonconsent. I appreciate the work that when to the series. Still, I would be careful about watching this if you don’t like or can’t stand those themes. The acting is incredible and realistic that it made me cry. I warn but still, encourage people to watch this. Would you watch it again? Most likely. I enjoyed the facts of destined love. This series is where love is never changing.

Review

HIStory: Stay Away From Me manage to keep my attention the whole time. I have to say it had a new plotline for me. The actors and actresses in this are amazing! This plot is always played out in Wattpad stories and what if in fanfictions. However, this is the first time I have seen it in a tv series or movie. I feel like you can connect to the characters. I know that if you have the feels that a fangirl has, you will connect with Meng Meng. I notice that if you are a crier when it comes to emotional moments, you will cry. However, it depends on you to decide if it is happy or sad tears. The only problem I had was it was too short! I need more! An hour and 10 minutes are too short. Would you watch it again? Yes, I would watch this again. This series is by far been my favorite in the HIStory’s series. It is just sad that it does not have more audience to them.
