STORY: The story is decent but short so their relationship develops fast for the sake of screen time.

ACTING/CAST: They're new. Chai is cute.

MUSIC: For being so short, I liked the songs. The translation was rough.

REWATCH VALUE: Nah.

OVERALL: Pretty low budget with fresh actors; very short so watch anyways.

STORY: A short story but it was nice as Den brings a little sunshine into Poupe's life.

ACTING/CAST: If you like Kao and Nat, you'll like this. They have amazing chemistry.

MUSIC: I liked the music and it was English Subbed too.

REWATCH VALUE: I watched it a second time already.

OVERALL: A quick watch of a cute onscreen couple worth a half-hour of your time. Even though it's sponsored by Pepsi, they weren't obnoxious about product placements.

STORY: A short story mostly dealing with Ming coming to terms with his sexuality. The ending is a bit somber but they are happy during the credit roll.

ACTING/CAST: Ming is cute. The cast generally did a decent job.

MUSIC: A couple songs, in English no less, were OK.

REWATCH VALUE: If I found a HD version, I'd probably watch it again.

OVERALL: A quick story that does a decent job of building the relationship between Ming and Hei, and shows the struggle of being gay in a Christian school.

SIDE NOTE: I have NO idea what this movie's title is about or why. Maybe it's an idiom that is lost in translation.

STORY: *BL Romantic Comedy* Gump and Nai have been in a relationship for about a year. Now, Gump has to move in with another guy while attending the university and Nai's old high school flame returns back from China and moves in. Relationship troubles ensue.

ACTING/CAST: Cute cast and I'm a fan of Gun (Poonsawas Atthaphan) so kinda biased. They did a nice job. The kissing was kinda amateurish and juvenile, except for one midway through that I can't spoil for you.

MUSIC: I liked the music, especially the one for the credits. No song was English subbed in the version I saw.

REWATCH VALUE: Yes, it's cute with a sappy ending. I'll watch it again with a friend, and probably again just to watch the cute actors, especially Gun.

OVERALL: Cute BL romcom that can be slow paced but safe (nobody dies, no major catastrophes, etc). Only thing that annoyed me is that they've been together for a year now and Gump is coy about being kissed (unless drunk)? Bah.

NOTE: In the bundled special edition, DVD 2 contains a photobook (24 pics), an interview, music video, teaser, and trailer; only the trailer is subbed. The MV is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! SQUEE!

STORY: An actor gets in a car wreck due to foul play and wakes up to find that he was surgically altered using the face of the other driver who died. He now has to take on this other guy's identity in a quest for revenge. This is a very good story with a well-written script. There are few moments of levity and only some suggestive bromance. It ends with is a season-ending cliffhanger.

ACTING/CAST: Quite excellent. I think Ma Ke (Du Yun Xiu) did a great job and is much more capable and versatile of an actor than the part required, which was a shame; most of the series he was simply scripted to be broody.

MUSIC: The music was good. The main song was English subbed.

REWATCH VALUE: I probably won't, but I will recommend this to my friends.

OVERALL: A very intriguing show, kept me interested the whole way. The pace slows in later episodes. The English subtitles were adequate, but could have really used a fluent English editor.

STORY: A short public service video increasing HIV/AIDS awareness. I respect actors that take such roles to fight a worthy cause. This has BL and a nice, happy ending.

ACTING/CAST: Gun (Poonsawas Atthaphan) can seriously cry and it makes me cry. He's good at portraying anguish and sadness.

MUSIC: Standard.

REWATCH VALUE: I will watch it again because of Gun.

OVERALL: A nice program for the war against HIV/AIDS with a super cute actor.

STORY: It's hard to tell what is real and what isn't in this movie. It's a very slow-moving psychological thriller I suppose, or it's trying to be anyways.

ACTING/CAST: Frankly, I only came to watch Gun (Poonsawas Atthaphan). So jealous of the actors who get to make out with him on camera.

MUSIC: Meh.

REWATCH VALUE: Nah.

OVERALL: The BL moments are nice but they can't carry the slow, plodding, and confusing script.

STORY: This was a real nice movie about the unique bond of love between brothers. I also liked that there was an established long-term relationship between Ek and his boyfriend. The story can seem to be slow-paced in parts but the warm interactions between the brothers made it worthwile. The ending is somber but not overly sad though I did shed a tear.

ACTING/CAST: All were professional about their work but I really thought Damrongsakkul Ingkarat (Young Oat) did a great job being only 12 at the time.

MUSIC: It was OK but not memorable.

REWATCH VALUE: Maybe with a friend.

OVERALL: A well-done coming-of-age movie. The cinematography was excellent.

STORY: Inn tries really hard to get his mother to accept his sexuality and his relationship with Max. The way that he first comes out to his mom with Max, my jaw hit the floor. Then his second attempt? I was laughing. That poor mom. I liked how Max was willing to be there for Inn through all that uncomfortableness.

ACTING/CAST: Fine job.

MUSIC: Was there any?

REWATCH VALUE: Maybe.

OVERALL: Quick watch, 20 minutes. Moving on.

This review may contain spoilers
A guy who loathes himself and has a serious self-image problem fights inner demons while he is befriended by a new classmate. This is short, slow, sometimes bizarre, confusing, and so forth. I might watch it again if I found good English subtitles. Guess what? SPOILER: It rains like the whole movie almost. Bet you didn't see that coming with a title like this, huh?

STORY: One guy is about to be married to a woman but the night before he makes out with his best man. Best part of this movie is probably the poster.

ACTING/CAST/MUSIC/REWATCH VALUE: Meh.

OVERALL: At 8 minutes, meh. Still, that poster. :O)

STORY: The enduring friendships between four people are threatened by love, a business venture, drugs, and fighting among themselves due to the toxicity of their interpersonal relationships. The ending is kinda sad but not overly so. There's a little bit of BL in this, not enough imho.

ACTING/CAST: They did a fine job. The last scene, the actor was very good and made me tear up a little.

MUSIC: Decent music.

REWATCH VALUE: I probably will because the cinematography for this is odd and can be hard to follow.

OVERALL: I don't know how these people ever stayed friends; their relationships are so toxic. Also scenes jump from one to the next without a good idea of how much time has passed nor any real explanation of what's going on. Probably need to watch it twice to make sense of it all.

This has BL and GL. It's an OK short-story, nothing special. Video was low budget, editing sucked, English subtitles were mostly accurate but difficult to read. I liked the music. If you're bored, watch this. If not, skip it. You won't be missing anything. If you want to watch it, look for the one redone by GCINEE, resubbed and 720p.

STORY: First episode, An Zi Yan dies in a car accident and now Mai Ding has to deal with this loss. The second episode they break the 4th wall. Watch both episodes, takes 10 minutes.

ACTING/CAST: Well, I love these two guys so to see them for a few more minutes is great.

MUSIC: I like the song, wasn't subbed though.

REWATCH VALUE: I watched it twice but probably won't watch it a third.

OVERALL: A few more minutes with the boys. Don't take the story seriously.
