    Cinematograpy: Amazing, 10/10

    9.0

    Watched: 1 time
    Cinematograpy: Really good
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Grim, bittersweet, jealousy,  need to rewatch

    A jealousy filled love triangle with gritty, moody and dark story elements.
    A lot of symbolism and subtextual MM romance. (One sided?)  Open to interpretation.

    Taiwanese Movie - 2020

    9.5

    Watched: 2 times
    Cinematograpy: Amazing
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, sad, grim

    Very moody, realistic and bittersweet. A lot of pretty symbolism, metaphorical imagery and meaningful subtext.

    A show that is better when you know little about it.
    But bittersweet as hell. Still a happy, ambiguous ending.

    Watched: 4 times
    Cinematograpy: Basic, but great
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Fun, cheesy, bittersweet-ish

    Basic and a bit cliché, but feel good. Seemed to aim for this kind of vision so, success?

    Watched: 5 times
    Cinematograpy: Basic but good/fun
    Pacing: Regular
    Mood: Fun, cheesy

    The ''computer brain'' guy being more proactive was a good surprise? Brainless fun, fairly formulaic show and all.

    Mood: Mental health, Gloomy/empty, hopeful
    Ouch. A system error has occured. Calibrating.

    Watched: 5 times (1 fully, 4 ''BL cut'')
    Cinematograpy: Great
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Fun, comedy, cheesy, bittersweet, mental health

    Not a ''BL show''. MM couple is really well written and acted. Main couple is 'eh', but the sides ones are good. (FM and MM ones)

  • Restart after Come back Home

    Watched: 2 times

    Sweet countryside romance. More about finding meaning in life and overcoming your past.

  • The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese

    12. The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    9.0

    Watched: 2 times
    Cinematograpy: Amazing
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, grim, broken, philosophical, need to rewatch
    Pair main theme: Need to rewatch. Obsessive?

    The characters are morally ambiguous, obviously flawed and very well portrayed. Even considering the circumstances, I could relate to how the characters were feeling and felt bad for every characters. Even the ''girl rival'', which is usually a bland, useless caricature in ''BL shows'' was well written and I felt sorry for her.

  • The Eclipse

    I dropped it the first time and gave it 4... oops. Tried again because I like the main actors now.
    The plot kinda sucks (all over the place/the "harsh school" isn't really harsh at all), but if you dont really get invested in it and just the main two guys (Akk & Ayan) it's pretty good...

    Idc about second couple at all.

    Generic school slice of life rival trope. It's really good for no reason.

  • Manner of Death

    Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes

    8.5

    Watched: 3 times
    Cinematograpy: Great
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, corruption, crime, can't trust any character

    Proper show with a romance sub plot that happens to be two males.
    Fun action stuff, medical pathology and three dimensional characters actually with motives beyond ''make drama because it's the third act and we have nothing''.

    Cinematograpy: Good
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Cheesy, philosophical, bittersweet, mental health
    Pair main theme: idk

    Fairly basic plot and setting, but pretty good. Lots of good messages to apply for your own life... Doing/learning something new everyday, not become stale in a predictable but unchallenged life, etc.

    Guilty pleasure... but I really like the characters. Last few episodes should have been more slow-burn tho.

    That and the gang of dumbasses from Arthit's group are actually funny.

    Watched: 1 time

    It's pretty good, even more so considering I kind hate romcoms and this is a romcom with one very cringy lead. Idk, its good.
    I don't care about the side couple at all, but that's a me thing I guess,

    It's really good for no reason since it's a very generic slice of life.

    It's entertaining. I prefer to watch Dunk and Joong tho (Fadel and Style).
    Khaotung and First are great actors, just got bored of their characters in this one, rip.

    Sweet story without being too corny/dumb. Zhou Shu is bi and had a crush on his childhood friend, which is a GIRL for once. Finally.

    The other MM pairing was out of place and cringy to watch.

    Half a guilty pleasure? But the characters are very well acted.
    Lots of show not tell behavioural/facial expression cues.  Pretty slow paced.
    Really liked the side characters's tales (Bao Luo Yin's dad, auntie, etc).
    One scene I hated, everything else was well done imo.

    Pair main theme: "Enemy to Lover"

    Honestly really liked it, even if some scenes were unfunny or fanservicey (otherwise would be a solid 9.5/10).

    Idc about Jack and other guy though, they were just unnecessary cheese imo.

    More of an underdeveloped bromance. Manga was better, even the anime was.
    BUT, I see it was romance, just not ''steamy'' or well defined.
