Review

I Am Not Okay with This is just a show that I fell in love with in the first episode. I love the choice that they pick for the cast. I admire how they show how small towns are, where the setting stuck in the past due to most small towns not being the richest. I love outfits that Syd and Stanely wear throughout the whole season. This tv series had my attention the entire time. The only problem I had with this show is that it was only six episodes long. I think of you fell in love with the 2017 IT young cast, you will enjoy it. It’s just something as a teen would connect within away. I love the feel of the character and their relationships. Like how IT executed, it shows more of how preteen and teen act and say. I think most writers forget that just because parents have a hold of the situation in their home and think they shelter kids from the sinful passion of the world doesn’t mean when the kids get in the world, don’t act differently. Most of the time, when kids learn to cuss, it will be from other kids or just something that they overhear. Would you watch it again? Yeah, I plan to binge the whole season(s) when the new season(s) comes out.

Movie Summary

Ootani and Tachibana have been inseparable since high school. Now that they’re in college, they live together, they’re happy and everything seems prefect. But their little world is disrupted when they meet an old high school friend, Yuki, who seems to have a crush on Tachibana, making Ootani feel jealous and insecure. Will Tachibana really choose him over a pretty girl? (Source)

Genre

Review

Ai No Kotodama is about Ootani and Tachibana, who have been boyfriends since high school. They happen to reunite with Yuki, a girl who is a friend of their high school years. I think Yuki was just someone who had a crush on Tachibana and just kind of a groupie of Ootani and Tachibana relationship because they are always together. Yuki kind of puts a wedge in Ootani and Tachibana’s relationship due to Ootani knowing that Yuki has a crush on Tachibana, his boyfriend, causing Ootani and Tachibana to fight, which like always has a lack of communication and hearing the other out. This film was not the best I have seen; it was alright. But I did like the scene where Tachibana and his friend are talking about what they love about their boyfriends; they say the thing people would think to be negative things that they love. It was different to see that. I am giving this movie a better rating only because I had to pause multiple times due to being interrupted, and I’m fighting some illness. Also, I did enjoy the character growth for Yuki to realize she wasn’t in love with Tachibana, but they want to have a romantic relationship like Ootani and Tachibana’s relationship. Would you watch it again? No, not really. The film felt rush for the plotline.

Believe that friend zone almost penetrates every molecule of love, but Phu and Tawan will take us out of that zone. How? (Source)

Genre

Review

Before I Love You: Phu x Tawan is about how Tawan and Phu became a couple. This video is part of a series, film-like episodes are seven minutes long. This episode is all puppy love, and the first crush, which is just adorable and fluff. I would recommend it. Would you watch it again? Yeah, it short and sweet, and the company itself posted it on YouTube, which is very helpful so that other countries can see it.

Genre

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.

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

Water Boyy The Movie was exaggerated to me by everyone. I thought this movie was okay. I guess it been one of the worst one I have seen. I felt that the film is drawn out and it doesn’t end in what I think is a happy moment. I believed that the production team was drawing the ending out for no valid reason other than views. I would still recommend the movie for people who are watching the series or want to see it. I think because I heard multiple good things about the movie I just expected more. I would not watch this again. However, I haven’t seen the series yet, so I might need to know the series. I have heard good and bad about the series. I can say that my favorite part was with the swim team.

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.

Genre

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.

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

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.
