Solid Film
The film I think for a Filipino film was honestly not bad. It had a decently interesting storyline and actually great actors. I know Kokoy de Santos from another project he was in and he and Royce Cabrera acted very well. I was looking for a more romantic LGBTQ movie, but this movie was more of a drama about two boys who accidentally got involved with the wrong person. It does have LGBTQ elements but I don't believe this movie was mainly an LGBTQ movie. I am going into depth on certain topics. The storyline was very interesting in that it had many elements of suspense and drama with scenes having you on the edge of your seat. The acting as I said before was really well done by the two main characters. There wasn't any music to the movie so I don't have much to say about it. Should you rewatch it? Sure if you haven't seen it in a while but it is not a phenomenal movie, but a pretty decent movie to watch if you want to satisfy your voyeurism of small gay sex or you want a foreign drama that brings LGBTQ elements and visuals of hot Asian dudes and the thrilling plot.[SPOILERS]
Story (7/10):
This storyline was very interesting in what it entails such as the upcoming climax (murder) and thrilling suspense on what happens to the two main characters after it happened. There were some of the plots that didn't really go anywhere such as the passports, the lady that Ace was making out with, why were they in with the mayor in the first place. I did like how the plot thickened to blackmail and them planning an escape but some points were just not touched on and probably shouldn't have been added in.
Acting (8/10):
The acting between the two main characters was great. I did wish they explained their relationship a little more deeply because they were having sex but I guess because the mayor wanted them to? They were best friends but how did they end up having sex with each other in the first place. I follow Kokoy de Santos and his acting in this film was really great.
Music & Rewatch (6/10):
There wasn't much or even no music at all in the film except when at the Mankind club. The silence in some scenes did make it more intense and thrilling which I really enjoyed those scenes. Is it worth a rewatch? I would say this wouldn't be something I would rewatch at all. Maybe when I forget the film or want to see the cute actors again.
Overall (7/10):
The storyline is different than typical films that I've seen but I could see the murder happening and that they were going to get caught. At first, I was caught off guard not being a LGBTQ romance film but still a good story. The main actors were great and I would probably look up their other filmography. Music was not really thought of good or I didn't even give it a thought and I would rewatch it if I forgot what it was about.

Intense Drama
The film was very interesting in that this drama was about forbidden love and the stigma of LGBTQ relationships in Korea. I really enjoyed this drama. The storyline is similar to an anime that I've seen but it's different that there are so much unexpectedness and kind of edge of your seat feeling constantly. The acting was spectacular in that they acted a play within a movie. The main characters acted so well. I really enjoyed the plot and the climax with its twists but there were some plot holes and some things I didn't understand.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Hilarious Short Drama
This drama was short and hilarious. It gave me so many laughs and I noticed one of the main characters was from Parasite. The story was so cheesy but that is what made it so comical. I really enjoyed that they also just didn't completely make the plot between them two accidentally being a couple but added other aspects to make the plot more complex. I would rewatch this and show my friends because of how comedic it is. I also like how it is making fun of BLs but not in an offensive way. The music was phenomenal and made me laugh even more when a typical drama song would come up during a scene. Overall if you want a good laugh, highly recommend. If you want an actual romance drama between two men, then this ain't it.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
