Will Tachibana really choose him over a pretty girl? (Source)

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.

Review

The Black Devil and the White Prince is funny and straightforward. The movie has some severe and just humorous moments. I love the relationship between Yu and Meiko, where they communicate and are trustworthy to each other. I do think the primary guys’ relationship ending on a good note. I do like that you can see maturity with the characters, which is fantastic because most of the time the growth is little to none or just a whole new role created. I would say watch the two episodes series; first, it just give you more information on the characters. I did love the two background guy character; they add a little humor and realistic feeling to the story. I did enjoy the whole movie and the ending. I feel like, at times, there were yaoi moments between Haruto and Takumi. However, I have been watching a lot of BL series and films. My brain is probably still on that mindset. I feel like if they want to pull a plot twist on the audience, it would we find out that Haruto and Takumi are or become a couple. Or, Meiko and Yu become a couple and end with the school finding out but put a scene where the girls who pulled the trick on Yu find out that the Princes are unavailable. Would you watch it again? Most likely not because I was wary about this series because of the different opinions that I have seen on videos and wiki pages/review sites.

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

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.

Series Summary

So Porsche and his best friend, Pik, try to recruit Emma and her best friend, Rome. This is because Emma’s uncle is the Dean. The catch–Emma loves cats but is terribly afraid of dogs. Will this be the end of Porsche’s dog and cat club or the start of a beautiful friendship between everyone? Or maybe even more? (Source)

Genre

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
