An above-average series with a plot different from most of the HIStory series, I was particularly interested in the main couple. Jake Hsu in the role of a policeman was really cute, in some scenes he reminded me of a 16-year-old plucked-eared boy, whose wiry figure is precisely intended for teaching martial arts and karate. In fact, he was 28 years old at the time of filming and played his character convincingly. The plot didn't drag on, on the contrary, in some moments I was even afraid of "what hasn't happened yet" and the references to the past were good so that the viewer could better understand the plot. If it was a combination of state power and crime, I would have easily married the other couple for the sake of believability. Excellent Taiwanese product.


Nadprůměrný a dějově jiný seriál než většina ze série HIStory mě zaujal především hlavní dvojicí. Jake Hsu v roli policajta byl opravdu roztomilý, v někerých scénách mi připomínal šestnáctiletého oškubaného ušáčka, jehož šlachovitá postava je přesně určena k výuce bojových umění a karate. Ve skutečnosti měl v době natáčení 28 let a zahrál svou postavu přesvědčivě. Děj se nevlekl, naopak, v některých chvílích jsem se až bál, "co zase ještě nebylo" a dobré byly vsuvky do minulosti, aby divák lépe pochopil děj. Když to byla kombinace státní moci a zločinu, klidně bych kvůli uvěřitelnosti oželel tu druhou dvojici. Výborný taiwanský produkt.

A series that caught my attention, mainly because of the choice of actors, the acting was really top notch (Wayne-Hao Ting was top class and Wilson-Bo Xiang was great in his youth). I also agree with Extasy that the Taiwanese series are different from the often "laced" Thai series, they are closer to the eye of the European viewer, more natural, the plot has a faster flow and does not drag on like a snot.
It took me a while to get used to the characters. The athletic, tall and fit Hao Ting and the skinny greeting from Dachau Xi Gu. The second couple was with me from the beginning without a problem (young Bo Xiang and bistro owner Zho Gang). The parents and sister were also very well chosen. Overall, I rate it highly, only the conclusion in the year when the marriage of same-sex couples was legalized in the country, they could forgive themselves. But even here Wayne showed himself and "transformed" with his excellent acting, perhaps we can look forward to the second one that is shown on MDL, which will hopefully be - HIStory4: Make Our Days Count 2 and Wayne should play the main role there again...


Seriál, který mě zaujal, a to především výběrem herců, herectvím, které bylo skutečně na výši (Wayne-Hao Ting extratřída a Wilson-Bo Xiang při svém mládí super). I já se shoduji s Extasy, že taiwanské seriály jsou jiné, než mnohdy "sešněrované" thajské, jsou blíže oku evropského diváka, přirozenější, děj má rychlejší spád a netáhne se jako sopel.
Než jsem si zvykl na postavy, chvíli mi to trvalo. Atletický, vysoký a vysportovaný Hao Ting a vyzáblý pozdrav z Dachau Xi Gu. Druhá dvojice byla u mě od začátku bez problému (mladý Bo Xiang a majitel bistra Zho Gang). Velmi dobře byli vybráni i rodiče a sestra. Celkově hodnotím vysoko, jen ten závěr zrovna v roce, kdy bylo v zemi uzákoněno manželství párů stejného pohlaví, si mohli odpustit. Ale i tady se Wayne projevil a "proměnil" svým výborným herectvím, snad se můžeme těšit na dvojku, která je uvedena na MDL, že snad bude - HIStory4: Make Our Days Count 2 a Wayne by tam měl hrát zase hlavní roli ...

I like Buddhism and its theory of reincarnation, reincarnation, and the bottom line, the story of this series is the most interesting for me. That's why the story is 10, even if it starts "terrifyingly tragically".
Otherwise, I evaluate the processing, prepare for an even slower pace than "normally" slow are Thai series of this type, sometimes stilted, weepy, but that's probably how it should be and it's actually a flowing drama, when in some parts there is a gradual uncovering and understanding who they really are in the thicket of Pharm and Dean's tangled family generations and sometimes those who "believe" get chills down their spines, others who mainly look for faults remain cold.

I don't have much to complain about the acting, I rate the level of acting not by Meryl Streep, but by these series, some of them shined (surprisingly for me, Manaow, Koi's grandmother, Wina's relaxed speech and some others.). I can't even condemn Dean and Korn as actors, whose characters were written this way and they were both damn hot.
The music is fine, because if you have a longer series, you simply get used to the central theme of the songs. I also see a positive in the fact that this project creates a positive, realistic relationship with gays, despite the fact that there will be a tragedy at the beginning - it is treated with respect throughout the series and not as a farce. I RECOMMEND it to all sensitive souls.


Mám rád buddhismus i s jeho teorií převtělování, reinkarnace a ta pointa, příběh tohoto seriálu je pro mě nejzajímavější. Proto ze příběh 10, i když začíná "hrůzostrašně tragicky".
Jinak hodnotím zpracování, připravte se na ještě pomalejší tempo, než "normálně" pomalé jsou thajské seriály tohoto typu, někdy ucajdané, plačtivé, ale tak to má asi být a vlastně se jedná o plynoucí drama, kdy v některých dílech dochází k postupnému odkrývání a pochopení, kdo vlastně jsou v houští spletitých rodinných pokolení Pharm a Dean a někdy těm, kteří "věří", přejede mráz po zádech, ostatní, co hledají hlavně chyby, zůstanou chladní.

K herectví nemám co moc vytknout, hodnotím úrovní herectví ne Meryl Streep, ale těchto seriálů, někteří se zablýskli (kupodivu pro mě Manaow, babička Koi, uvolněný projev Wina a někteří další.). Odsuzovat herecky nemohu ani Deana a Korna, jejichž postavy takto byly napsány a oba byli zatraceně sexy.
Hudba fajn, totiž pokud máte delší seriál, tak si prostě na ústřední motiv písní zvyknete. Pozitivum vidím i v tom, že tento projekt vytváří kladný, realistický vztah ke gayům, navzdory tomu, že zde na začátku proběhne i tragédie - zachází se s ní po celou dobu série s úctou a ne jakou s fraškou. DOPORUČUJI všem citlivým dušičkám.

When I watched the first time, I found the short more and more stupid, stupid to the point where it was almost funny and constantly jumping between drama, comedy and stupidity. But when I thought about that story, read a review on MDL, I wondered why his classmate was so pointlessly explaining quantum mechanics using the example of a cat in a box. Who has ever encountered, seen, read or studied this, when a particle is thrown at an obstacle and it avoids it from above and below, it simply develops, always the way we look at the matter ... so I thought the conclusion was GENIUS and I would agree with the opinion that a lot of viewers don't have time to perceive it precisely because it is a very complex field of science, not for us "average viewers" and I could be wrong, but maybe Ji Ho didn't leave the two of them with that in the very end that the friend got what he wanted, but that he FINALLY LEARNED THE MATERIAL FOR THE NEXT EXAM* ("... The cat can be both alive and dead. We can only decide when we open the box ourselves and see what the reality is. Then it will depend on how the observer reacts. According to the reaction of the observer ... it will become reality...")*

The story of this sad comedy was probably not only very strong for me, and the end of the film only confirmed it for me, which is also proven by the three wins and a large number of nominations of this film at film festivals, but ...
The way I'm used to trances mainly from RuPaul's competitions (and that there are still many different kinds of competitions), but mostly good to excellent professionals perform there. Filipinos, on the other hand, are known in their film projects for often horrible, mocking, grinning trans people, and actually these people do not have a good reputation in the audience world, and I was a bit bothered by the second roles of "miracles" of the two main characters Mark and John, otherwise two well-known and excellent and sympathetic Filipinos actors (Guzmán+Gamboa), when I didn't believe their "hands" and femininity for an inch and these scenes had a rather repulsive effect on me. Damage.

Subtle, short, predictable, simple, but it had that "something" at least in part, and I didn't mind at all that Day is 9 years older than Mem. The boys especially struggled with the kissing. The way Day was in that icy lake almost shaking with the cold and his nipples were like antennae from the cold made me smile.... 😜

Jemné, krátké, předvídatelné, jednoduché, ale to "něco" to v sobě alespoň zčásti mělo a vůbec mi nevadilo, že Day je od Mema o 9 let starší. Chlapci bojovali především s tím líbáním. Úsměv mi vykouzlilo na tváři to, jak byl Day v tom ledovém jezírku, málem se roztřepal chladem a bradavky měl ze zimy jako antény .... 😜

I liked the short precisely because it was informative, believable, true, it didn't play on anything, and because the creators filmed it just like that and not otherwise. That's the Korean characteristic - to be yourself. Many viewers will not like this short film and will look for any flaw to justify their rating or even disappointment. It's a forgotten work of cinema over ten years old and underrated, and it gave me exactly what I expected.


Mě se kraťas líbil právě proto, že byl vypovídací, uvěřitelný, pravdivý, na nic si nehrál a že jej tvůrci natočili právě tak a ne jinak. To je právě ta korejská vlastnost - být sami sebou. Řadě diváků tento krátký film nesedne a budou hledat kdejakou chybku, aby ospravedlnili své hodnocení či dokonce zklamání. Je to zapomenuté filmové dílo přes deset let staré a málo hodnocené a mě přesně dalo to, co jsem čekal.

Scud is a concept for me, originality, and we have several of his creations here, of which I was most interested in Permanent Residence and partially Amphetamine. But this was seriously a ride ... and as usual pre-selected nice actors, nudity, erotica. Crazy story. The spirit of the "curious person in the shower" gradually visits three other Asian countries, even Spain, and one of the characters is his trans sister. Pleasantly chaotic, light, and the only unpleasant point for me was the bodyshop, I would completely throw it out of the story, that's why I put three minus points for the story and the film in second place behind Permanent Residence in Scuda. Viewers with an open mind will appreciate the film rather with insight and light comedy...

This short pinoy film told me what he had. Viewers who can and understand the Philippine production with all its mistakes and missteps will certainly be interested in the fact that the farmer after the loss of his beloved wife went completely crazy and the originally antagonistic relationship between the farmer and the activist became dull and secondary. Both the main protagonists cut these roles two years before playing the main characters in Lodi. I do not recommend this short to most viewers, especially critical ones, don't waste your time.


Tento krátký pinoy film mi sdělil, co měl. Pro diváky, co mohou a rozumí filipínské produkci se všemi jejími chybami a přehmaty, jistě zaujme to, že farmář po ztrátě své milované ženy se dočista zbláznil a původne antagonní vztah farmíř versus aktivista vyšumněl a byl podružný. Oba hlavní protagonisté si střihli tyto role dva roky předtím, než si zahráli hlavní postavy ve filmu Lodi, který zde máme přeložen do cz. Tento kraťas nedoporučuji většině diváků, hlavně těm kritickým, neztrácejte čas.

In the world of men who like men, there is a certain subset of those who are slightly twisted, very twisted, effeminate, they are also called aunties in the Czech Republic and in other ways, I am not referring to another group of those who are transvestites or a group of transsexuals . And the main character Bew (actor Mark Chutawuth) also belongs to this group of aunts, and I thought right at the beginning hmm ... that's not going to be for me, that's a group of people I'm not looking for. But Mark, who from now on I refer to as Mr. Actor, led me astray and was so funny and together with the character of the girl Note, but also with the elderly aunt at work (he was even married and the wife didn't mind 🤣) together with the creators according to the real they set up the story so well, lightheartedly, gently and with nobility, that I had fun many times, especially in the second episode. How Mark, who isn't actually gay or an aunt, was able to play it is unbelievable. The story as such is not that complicated and it is true that there are many aunties in the field of modeling, design, makeup, etc., but overall everything was presented very casually to the fact that society in practically all countries is still very cruel to sexual minorities. Mostly in this field of film projects I encounter exaggeration, piquancy, grimaces, mockery, both in Western productions and in Assisi, which is why I end up appreciating this Club Friday season 10 series a lot. And in addition, my Darling actor Jam from To Sir With Love and Laws of Attraction will also appear in one of the episodes...

Originally a strange Hong Kong film about a fulfilled, partially fulfilled or unfulfilled life. Deliberately (?) melted edge between love, friendship, relationship, sex, nice bodies, a bit of Asian nudity (you mean a huge bunch of hair with a little camp girl), passing the plot slowly and yet not losing its distinct depth, evoking a reality in me as if from a part of my life and the life of many others ... just according to me and my experience, even open-minded gays and straights can understand each other even in bed, and the subtitles, if they were two lines, sometimes flashed by so quickly that I couldn't finish reading. The film will remain in my soul for a long time

Originálně zvláštní hongkongský film o naplněném, částečně naplněném či nenaplněném žítí. Záměrně (?) roztavená hrana mezi láskou, přátelstvím, vztahem, sexem, hezká těla, trochu asijské nahoty (rozuměj obrovský houf chlupů s malým camprlíčkem), ubíhající dějově pomalu a přesto neztrácející svou výraznou hloubku, ve mě vyvolávající reálnost jakoby z části z mého života i života mnohých jiných ... jen dle mě a mých zkušeností si i gay a hetero otevřené mysli mohou rozumět i v posteli a titulky, pokud byly dvouřádkové, se tam někdy tak rychle mihly, že jsem nestačil dočíst. Film zůstane dlouho v mé duš

I'm still wondering what it was actually supposed to be ... for me an almost meaningless short, with the first "jumping on the trampoline" love scene and the reluctance to give the second one at least a kiss. Unfortunately, I have to rate slightly below average, even though it's Taiwan, it didn't give me anything ... and thanks to Nioba for the effort and the translation

Doteď přemýšlím, co to vlastně mělo být ... pro mě téměř nicneříkající kraťas, s první milostnou scénou "skákání po trampolíně" a nechutenstvím dát tomu druhému alespoň pusinku. Bohužel, musím hodnotit mírně podprůměrně, i když je to Taiwan, nic mi to nedalo ... a díky Niobě za snahu a překlad

The film, which became a blockbuster in Japanese cinemas in its time, is really very different, it is a look at the Japanese society of that time and for many viewers, including me, surprising, even though I am familiar with Japanese works. The first two or three scenes on the beach are enough. For me, the best of the evaluation criteria is clearly a story that in many passages overcame the comic component, which disappeared, but sometimes, on the contrary, slipped into farcicality, forced laughter, a brawl ala ragdoll kindergarten. But the positives prevail. Simply Japan ... and again a little different.

Film, který se ve své době stal trhákem v japonských kinech je opravdu hodně jiný, je to pohled na japonskou společnost tehdejší doby a pro mnohého diváka, i pro mě, překvapivý, ač jsem obeznámen s japonskou tvorbou. Stačí první dvě tři scény na pláži. Pro mě je jednoznačně nejlepší z kritérií hodnocení příběh, který přebil v mnohých pasážích komickou složku, která zanikla, ale někdy naopak sklouzla až do fraškovitosti, nucený smích, rvačka ala hadra školka. Převažují ale pozitiva. Prostě Japonsko ... a zase trochu jiné.

I didn't quite understand why the film was in black and white. Two friends, when for a certain part of their lives they are destined to share one small apartment of the artistically gifted Tod. Rošťák Hao almost bewitched me, and the message of the film, especially at the end, is clear, even though I had doubts the whole time, which I won't reveal. Again, something a little different from what we are used to in Taiwan.


Moc jsem nepochopil, proč je ten film černobílý. Dva přátelé, kdy určitý výsek života je jim souzen sdílet jeden malý byt umělecky nadaného Toda. Rošťák Hao mě téměř učaroval a sdělení snímku, především v závěru, je jasné, i když jsem celou dobu byl na pochybách, které neprozradím. Zase trošku něco jiného, než jsme na Taiwan zvyklí.

A Taiwanese short film about something strange, yet natural, about the relationship between two lovers. Played solidly, I was only a little disappointed by the ending, when we had to reduce our rating by one more point, but otherwise nice, human. Duncan Ku, Taiwan's top gay porn star, now past his prime, makes his first queer film appearance ...


Taiwanský kraťas o nečem zvláštním, ale přitom přirozeném, o vztahu dvou milenců. Zahráno solidně, trošku mě jen zklamal ten závěr, kdy jsme musel snížit ještě o bod své hodnocení, ale jinak pěkné, lidské. Duncan Ku, taiwanská špičková gay porno hvězda, nyní již za svým zenitem, poprvé vystupuje v queer filmu ...
