I was slightly disappointed with Serpiente. I expected a bit more. The story could be told, even if it is nothing groundbreaking, but it was not used as a filmmaker or director, such a mild pall mall, the shots were often unnecessarily dark (if the intention was to achieve a bigger mystery), a long-winded shot of the laundry in the first episode (I don't understand) . I was looking forward to an actor named Kaleb Ong, whom I know from the series Meet My Angel, he did not disappoint, but he was bound by the script and the director. So life the Filipino way .... aka love, sex, betrayal.



Serpiente mě mírně zklamalo. Čekal jsem poněkud více. Příběh by se dal, i když nic průlomového to není, ale nebyl filmařsky ani režijně využit, takový mírný pall mall, záběry byly často zbytečně tmavé (jestli se tím chtělo docílit nějakého většího tajemna), dlouhatánský záběr v první epizodě na praní (nechápu). Těšil jsem se na herce jménem Kaleb Ong, kterého znám ze seriálu Meet My Angel, nezklamal, ale byl svázán scénářem a režisérem. Takže život po filipínsku .... alias láska, sex, zrada.

The "stupid" effect of the series was much less on me than on many others. Yes, we have the right to judge from the point of view of an ordinary European that something is stupid, but that does not mean that we are right. There are a few billion more Asians like us and I evaluate from the point of view of this kind of production and in that case this evaluation of mine worked out for me.
But the simpler, low-budget mini-series caught my attention, and it even has some advantages over other Thai productions of this type. Above all, it had a plot, it didn't branch out, there were no secondary characters or an annoying school. Still amateur acting young actors are trying, that "something" for the users of this server was also there (searching for a gay, bisexual feeling). But otherwise, a very naive piece, as if filmed really only for elementary school girls.
On the plus side: there weren't those horrible Asian lids (I still can't get over the last series I saw, The Best Story, when the creators turned nice guys into six lid cunts), the entire faces of the actors stood out. It was interesting that Win, with the figure of a Thai boxer and the type of brawler that the creators liked to reveal in a swimsuit, was getting picked on by both Pun and Porsche, and that girl seemed like a thorn in the heel or rather in the fart.. .

"Hloupě" na mě působil seriál daleko méně, než na mnohé jiné. Ano, máme právo soudit z pohledu běžného Evropana, že je něco hloupé, ale to ještě neznamená, že máme pravdu. Asiatů je o několik miliard více, jako nás a já hodnotím úhlem pohledu na tento druh produkce a v tom případě mi vyšlo toto mé hodnocení.
Jednodužší, nízkoropočtový miniseriálek mě ale zaujal, a má dokonce i některé přednosti oproti jiným z tohoto druhu thajské produkce. Především měl spád, nevětvil se, nebyly žádné vedlejší postavy ani otravná škola. Ještě amatérsky působící mladí herci snaživí, to "něco" pro uživatele tohoto serveru tam také bylo (hledání citu gay, bisex). Ale jinak hodně naivní dílko, jakoby točené opravdu jen pro žákyně základních škol.
Pozitiva: nebyly ty příšerné asijské poklice-afinky (stále se nemohu probrat z posledního seriálu, který jsem viděl The Best Story, kdy tvůrci udělali ze sympatických kluků šest poklicových pizd), vynikly celé tváře herců. Zajímavé bylo, že Win s postavou thajského boxera a typem bitkaře, kterého tvůrci rádi odhalovali do plavek, dostával nakládačky jak od Pun-a, tak i Porsche-ho a ta dívka tam působila jako trn v patě nebo spíše v prd.li ...

The relationship between Phu and Tawan seemed to me to be the best cinematically portrayed of the entire trilogy. Pleasant guys, a short canapé that catches your eye. I rate both the short and "Uncut".

I rate the episodes separately, I also mention their names again, because the names of the episodes are not translated in the translation from M.anon. I'm not giving their episodic names because they're different from what we know and it would be confusing:

Ep.1 Pretend To Love (played by Ohm and Fluke) - the guys we know as Dean and Pharma from Unitl We Meet Again. Story not very well thought out, but I excuse it by saying that there was not enough time for it, acting is still good, great looking shapely Ohm with his long manly fingers, nostalgia ... rating 6 8 8 7

Ep. 2 Just Friend (Ja and First) - they played Leo and Fiat in TharType 2 and now they are the central pair of the newly released series Don't Say No. Despite the condemnation of this mini-story on other world servers, on the other hand, I liked the short, with exaggeration, with insight, when the nice Leo played a young man who took on some cat (a cute Fiat) he found on the street and the confusion - I liked the symbolism, just I smiled when Leo was washing Fiat's hair in the bath, so the "cat" was wearing shorts, nice music ... I'm going against the flow of reviews MDL: 10 10 10 9

Ep. 3 Willing or Not (young Nat and nine years older Max) - they are best known as Nuea and Sun from the Y-Destiny series. The story from the judo club about Softy and the Giant Godzilla ... was simply cute and even though it was more like two friends, I give it higher marks like this ... 8 9 8 8

Ep. 4 Just One Life (Yoon and Talay) as Jian and Masuk from Y-Destiny or Nott and Pun from the quirky sitcom YYY (which I also saw and didn't appeal to me, it's not listed here on GT yet). Jumping off a bridge, breaking up with a girlfriend, slightly above average for me, but nothing that put me on my ass, cute faces of both actors... rating 7 7 6 7

Ep. 5 Dear My Star (Jimmy and Tommy) as Saifah and Zon from Why RU and SaifahZon Story. The story is set in the nineties, when electronic communication was not so widespread and the boys solved it by letters and calling each other from a booth (everyone lives elsewhere - Bangkok, Chiang Mai). A great short, where for me the only thing missing was the step further from camaraderie, friendship (but the hidden gay component can be felt a hundred feet away) ... 9 9 8 9

Ep. 6 Imagine You (Kimmon and Copter) known as Mark and Kit from the series Gen Y. Virtual reality aka reality. Solid, but not necessarily the best of the six ... 7 8 7 7

The film, which was nominated for best short film at two film festivals in the Philippines and won the Palme d'Or for best director, is somewhat forgotten, but still has a very nice, strong message and is solidly acted. A film that makes the viewer wonder what love, friendship and "something" in between is. Nice.


Film, který v roce byl na dvou filmových festivalech na filipínách nominován na nejlepší krátký film a palmu vítězství získal za nejlepší režii, je tak trochu pozapomenutý, ale přesto má vělmi pěkné, výrazné sdělení a zahrán solidně. Film, u kterého divák může přemýšlet, co je to láska, přátelství a "něco" mezi tím. Pěkné.

The idea, the theme is good, but unfortunately a bit incomplete, so I had to lower my rating. The currency of the series is the environment, the effort to find the right and most beautiful true feeling in the world and the fact that the actors, although almost unloved by acting, managed it decently and were very likeable (David, Simon, Vince). Among the little things that didn't bother the creators, but will surprise many viewers, was, for example, the fact that after two days on the island, when he ran around the beach screaming "help" for almost an entire episode, David wasn't thirsty, which in the harsh Philippine sun would have already done his (he was hungry) that after a few days on the island with Simon, they didn't grow beards, nails, etc. But the positives outweighed the little things, hence my slightly above average rating.



Myšlenka, námět dobré, ale bohužel trošku nedotažené, proto mé hodnocení jsem musel snížit. Devizou seriálku je prostředí, snaha najít ten správný a nejkrásnější pravý cit na světě a to, že herci, ať téměř nepolíbení herectvím, to zvládli slušně a byli velmi sympatičtí (David, Simon, Vince). Z těch drobností, které tvůrce nepálily, ale mnohého diváka zarazí, bylo například to, že po dvou dnech na ostrově, kdy s křikem "pomoc" pobíhal téměř celý jeden díl po pláži, neměl David žízeň, což na ostrém filipínském slunci by už udělalo své (měl hlad), že po několikadenním pobytu na ostrově se Simonem jim nedorostly vousy, nehty atd. Ale klady převážily drobnosti, proto mé slabě nadprůměrné hodnocení.

The TV series from 2003 and describing the situation in Taiwan in the 1970s (the story in the book version begins in the 1960s) really interested me, even though the quality of the copies is bad and the translation is not finished - it doesn't matter. It's definitely not a BL, but a proper drama where the main character Li Qing, nicknamed A Qing (phonetically A-cin,A-sin) goes through life's hell of disintegration and death in the family, so that he is expelled from school, and finally his father leaves for his homosexuality from home. Real gay life at the time, slow pace, pain, heartbreak, loneliness, several main characters.
Don't expect much intimacy, even though it's a 100% gay series, the treatment is due to the era and TV broadcast.
STORY - stunning above all in how it captures the state of society at the time and the position of homosexuals.
ACTING - very solid, young actors and older ones, I felt a complete connection with the characters and the story in most of them. I recommend studying the story and especially the characters in advance, it will be easier to navigate the series.
SOUND - although the reviews on the world servers praise the music, it didn't affect me that much, and rather the constant parts of mainly cello, sometimes violin and piano were annoying because they were so often (everything is too bad), just every now and then, but I don't blame it, it's just my impression and I respect the intent of the creators.
PROCESSING - at a very decent level for the time and I won't lower the rating for the poor quality of the copies.


Televizní seriál z roku 2003 a popisující situaci na Taiwanu v 70. letech (příběh v knižní předloze začíná už v 60. letech) mě velmi zaujal, ač kvalita kopií je špatná a není dokončen překlad - nevadí. Určitě to není BL, ale pořádné drama, kde si hlavní hrdina Li Qing, přezdívaný A Qing (foneticky A-cin,A-sin) prožije životní peklo rozpadu a úmrtí v rodině, aby jej vyloučili ze školy a nakonec i otec vyrazil pro jeho homosexualitu z domu. Reálný život gayů v té době, pomalé tempo, bolest, zármutek, osamělost, několik hlavních postav.
Nečekejte velkou intimitu, i když je to seriál 100% gay, zpracování je poplatné tehdejší době a TV vysílání.
PŘÍBĚH - ohromující především v tom, jak zachycuje tehdejší stav společnosti a postavení homosexuálů.
HERECTVÍ - velmi solidní, mladí herci i starší, vnímal jsem u většiny naprosté spojení s postavami a příběhem. Doporučuji příběh a hlavně postavy dopředu nastudovat, orientace v seriálu bude potom snadnější.
ZVUK - ač recenze na světových serverech opěvují hudbu, mě až tak moc nezasáhla a spíše ty neustálé party především violoncella, někdy houslí a klavíru byly až otravné v tom, jak byly často (všeho moc škodí), prostě každou chvíli, ale nevyčítám to, je to jen můj dojem a ctím záměr tvůrců.
ZPRACOVÁNÍ - na velmi slušné úrovni tehdejší doby a nebudu přeci snižovat hodnocení za špatnou kvalitu kopíí.

This smaller Filipino series disappointed me, mainly in terms of the story, which was like an emmental with big holes. I saw the series a few days ago and thought to myself that I would rather not post this "friend puzzle" here. I wouldn't mind the fact that there are only two actors, and they are also very likeable, but what they "played" according to the script and direction was far from even the slightest expectation of things to come, not to mention the BL series. I saw the two boys as if they were still ten years younger, and the entire six episodes, except for the very conclusion, were all about chatter, childish bickering, just friendship, camaraderie, sometimes a game of cat and mouse (Kian-son of the owners and the "inferior monkey" Aaron-son of the deceased administrator). Without spark and emotion, unsalted, ungreasy, bland.
Overall: terrible story, childish, untapped potential of an empty house, maybe a gay character in the last few minutes. Acting above average, processing (I appreciate the nippl

Nice shots of Thai nature and beaches and otherwise practically nothing happened. Naive and about nothing. The music didn't help here either, although the theme song is nice. "The Veterinarian and the Bartender" behaved like thirteen-year-old boys, and both young gentlemen are rather better singers than actors



Pěkné záběry thajské přírody a pláží a jinak se prakticky nic nedělo. Naivní a o ničem. Tady nepomohla ani hudba, i když ta ústřední píseň je pěkná. "Veterinář a barman" se chovali jako třináctiletí kluci a oba mladí pánové jsou spíše lepšími zpěváky, jako herci

Morning Mo (Tzu-Yi Mo), who we know as the main star of the beautiful movie Dear Tenant from 2020, played the character of Sung Hai's gay son x years ago. His partner was the likeable Gary Tang.
But the film is not only about a gay son, as written in the Details about the film. It is a psychological probe into a multi-generational and incomplete Taiwanese family headed by mother Ai-Tsao. She must gradually cope not only with the growing suspicion that her son is gay and with a greedy mother (grandmother, very well played) who pays attention to the social "conventions" of Taiwanese society in the first decade of the twenty-first century, but also with her daughter, who returns from studies abroad and, as a single mother, brings home a black girl (whom she conceived while studying with a dark-skinned man, with whom she then did not agree on living together). In fact, even the mother herself (Ai-Tsao) did not live a conventional life. Maybe someone will find the story slow and long-winded, but it didn't seem like that to me, and on the contrary, it nicely conveyed the not-so-simple fates of several characters through film.

Hardly anyone will understand this movie the first time. I didn't understand much either. And this, I think, is the biggest disadvantage of the entire film, when from the outside it seems unclear, rambling, but at the same time it tells us so much. This piece requires reading about it BEFORE and watching it a second, third time and not immediately condemning it. So I give it, even if I rate it decently overall, "REALLY NOT RECOMMENDED", because many people just want to quickly watch it, skim through it, and I don't take seriously the opinions that the film is only about the physical dimension. I understand that the film has a lower rating on world servers, because heterosexuals did not give it because of the complexity and 100% gay component. That's why I give the Story the lowest rating for the targeted "outrageousness". It is based on the theme of a Chinese novel from the 18th century. Dream of the Red Chamber, which is also the second title of the film, transformed the story from the Chinese imperial court into the present day and the current capital of Taiwan, so it must adhere to certain prescribed rules (more characters, not creating a comprehensive dramatically graduated plot, etc.). That it is such a deliberately non-story and its development can be read by everyone, I liked the film after the third viewing, there are several gaps in it that the viewer can guess and it shows gays as they are without napkins (not all of them are saints, faithful to one partner until death, do not smoke, drink, or fart). There is beauty, love, hope, selfishness, ignorance, irresponsibility, ruin, sickness, death, just everything that life brings. As the greatest strength of the film, I cite the fact that the cast played it extremely well, humanly, UNTWISTED. Now I don't mean that most of the actors were handsome Taiwanese including the main trio of Josh, Lin, Sean, which is true, that's an added bonus. One of the main roles (Lin) was played by the star of the great series Dark Blue and Moonlight (this series is also shown here on MDL) - Eric Chen. I wanted to give a nine for the processing, but I reduced it by one for the fact that many scenes were dark, dark, I know that was the intention of the creators, but it made me uncomfortable.

I was a little annoyed that the Thais blew it with how much the two hated each other to begin with and were constantly beating each other up. Love and hate are close to each other, but the battles... But otherwise, one of the best shorter series. Both main characters are absolutely perfect in physical appearance and played their roles very well, even though they were actually a couple of years out of college. In general, Thais can work a lot at that age. When June told Pete and Kao that Sun, the cafe owner, was older than them, Sun was actually the youngest of the four (Sun = Pod and I know him best as Tonhon from the Tonhon Chonlatee series). Another asset of the miniseries was that it didn't split into other delays. Excellent workmanship.


Trošku mě vadilo, že to Thajci přepískli s tím, jak moc se ti dva zezačátku nenáviděli a neustále se mlátili. Láska a nenávist to sice mají k sobě blízko, ale ty bitky ... Ale jinak jeden z těch nejlepších kratších seriálů. Obě hlavní postavy naprosto dokonalé fyzickým vzhledem a ztvárnili své role moc dobře, i to, že věkově už ve skutečnosti měli oba dva pár let po vysoké škole. Vůbec Thajci s tím věkem dokáží hodně pracovat. Když June sděloval Petovi a Kaovi, že Sun, majitel kavárny, je už k nim postarší, tak ve skutečnosti Sun byl ze všech čtyř nejmladší (Sun = Pod a nejvíce jej znám jako Tonhon ze seriálu Tonhon Chonlatee). Další devizou miniseriálu bylo i to, že se už dál neštěpil na další zdržovačky. Výborné zpracování.

This award -winning Japanese film, made in part by manga, is a good mystery into the immense depths of the human soul, human fates and the complete intricacy of relationships and sexual orientation. I haven't seen such a valuable picture to portray these features with gay themes. Yes, for example, some less susceptible viewers or those who cannot assemble the story and realize the context, like me as much as I do, but I think those who are empathing in the story despite their own life experience will sit like an ass on a pot .

Dark, rough, real film 18+ I got inside and despite all the evaluation criteria for me 10 I liked the most acting two characters. In the opening photo it looks like they are playing teenagers, but it's a story about adults. At the time of filming 34 -year -old singer and actor Okura Tadayoshi and 26 -year -old model and actor Narita Ryo, who totally got me by portraying the character Imagas, which I initially perceived rather antagonne (find myself, have the courage to accept who I really am .


Tento oceněný japonský film, natočený zčásti dle mangy, je pořádný záhul do nezměrných hlubin lidské duše, lidských osudů a naprosté spletitosti vztahů a sexuální orientace. Tak hodnotný snímek pro vykreslení těchto vlastností s gay tematikou jsem ještě neviděl. Ano, nemusí se třeba některým méně vnímavým divákům nebo těm, co si nedokážou příběh poskládat a uvědomit si souvislosti, líbit natolik jako mě, ale myslím, že těm, kteří se vcítí do příběhu přes své vlastní životní zkušenosti, bude sedět jak prdel na hrnec.

Temný, drsný, reálný film 18+ se mi vryl do nitra a přes veškerá kritéria hodnocení pro mě 10 se mi nejvíce líbily herecky hlavní dvě postavy. Na úvodní fotce to vypadá, jako že hrají náctiletí, ale je to příběh o dospělcích. V době natáčení 34 letý zpěvák a herec Okura Tadayoshi a 26 letý model a herec Narita Ryo, který mě naprosto dostal tím, jak ztvárnil postavu Imagase, kterou jsem zezačátku vnímal spíše antagonně (najít sebe sama, mít odvahu přijmout to, kým ve skutečnosti jsem, bojovat předem prohraný boj o lásku svého života a případně přijmout prohru ...), ale kdoví ... více neprozradím.
