Gay shit I watched

I dropped this pretty much immediately because this is not my type of humor. Don't let that stop you though.

It just didn't make any sense. Weird time skips, not chronological, plot holes everywhere, no chemistry, kind of a love triangle, stalkerish behavior, toxic advice portrayed as good.

It's not terrible. Low quality indie. If you really crave GL, you could watch this.

Shit subtitles. Childhood best friends are emotionally constipated about the fact that they like each other. It's got loads of Japanese style awkwardness. They operate on manga logic. I get that the plot is about them not being able to talk about their feelings but like dang though.

cw: consent issues.

No plot, only sex.

Dumbass uses magic fan to travel to wuxia times and takes the place of her look alike. Exaggerated top/bottom relationship dynamic.

Wtf is this plot? What is happening and why? And why is everyone acting so dramatically?

Dropped at ep 8. I swear I tried to get through this.

This show feels like going back in time to genderswapped 2016 Thai BL.

Confident freshman likes head prefect of second year students, but she's not allowed to be close to her because of respectability reasons. 

The relationship development feels much too fast and unnatural, and the flirting lines are recycled from old BLs. Pacing issues. Plot seems kinda cobbled together and directionless. Acting is fine but def not excellent. So many characters. So many nonsensical 'Oh my God I saw my girlfriend hug someone and am now going to run off crying and definitely will not communicate at all because she's obviously cheating' plot moments.

cw: using authority to make a guy uncomfortably take his clothes off.

Didn't get through episode one. Incredibly badly written dialogue. Seems to rely on sex only.

girl has three classmates. Gets anonymous text and wants to figure out which of her classmates likes her. Soulless and awkward

Couldn't get through the first few minutes. So low quality that it is obnoxious in every way.

Wet paper towel of a character gets cheated on but ignores it, while having hunk mchunkerson randomly fall for him and start aggressively flirting. Pretty standard predator/prey type dynamic.

Looks like a high school project. Not a good one.

He dies and comes back as a ghost (except fully materially present) to confess to roommate.

Spoiler: not a happy ending.

Incoherent and boring. Too many characters.

Crazy stalker fangirl shows up at streamer's door with food, streamer isn't into it. Too much second hand embarrassment for me to continue, I'm sorry.

dropped

mlm. ~720 minutes

Typical early Thai BL, nothing new, too many characters, makes extremely little sense.

cw: femme-phobic

dropped

mlm. ~140 minutes

I know that people like this, but I really hate this type of relationship dynamic.

Bullying tsundere chad dominates stuttering classmate who is made up of 90% social anxiety. Also chad has to be super pretty and good at performing arts, of course, and have a hair style that only really functions in manga. 

cw: We're getting some school shooter romanticization for the lead even. Wow. Gay incel shit.

Only one episode is lesbian, that's the only one I even attempted, and it isn't faithful to the original Bad Buddy characters and it feels shallow so I dropped it.

Soulless. Dialogue doesn't feel like actual humans would ever talk like that. Feels like a cashgrab with zero effort put into it.

Based on the Japanese hit 'Kieta Hatsukoi'. So far it's a cutesy standard BL. They've got songs. It's good.

Doctor meets her ex again, the one that broke her heart really badly, but doctor doesn't know that she was forced to do so and actually still loves her.

Excellent acting, beautiful cinematography, plot lacks nothing.

Spin-off of Deep Night. You don't need to watch Deep Night first. 

Bestie shows up with the news that she's going to get married to a man, but secretly hoping that her friend will get jealous and be her lover instead.

Worth a watch, chemistry and production value is there.

Impulsive broke dude meets shy deaf classmate and strikes a deal, note-taking for bento lunches.

Hapless scaredy-cat tutor accidentally gets in trouble with young gangster, who then has fun ordering him around.

This is silly and campy and entertaining.

Brand new roommates. One of them is rich and tells them he'll pay them if they can hook him up with his crush. Hijinks ensue and of course they all end up pairing up and falling for each other instead. Mostly a comedy.

I like that the four main guys have such different attitudes towards their queerness. One is very confident and promiscuous, another is monogamous and recently heartbroken, another is too shy and sheltered to have explored much at all, and the fourth is in the denial closet.

Epic magic fantasy adventure with one lawful good wizard and one chaotic neutral wizard, and they like each other. 

I really like the flowy dresses these guys are parading around in, with magic and swords! Excellent. The setting is gorgeous. The acting is underwhelming (at least to me) but I think that's partially because China re-dubs all its audio rather than recording it on set. The plot is lord of the rings-esque in terms of its scope.

I recommend opening up an excel sheet and noting down the names of characters (each character goes by multipe names), as well as the names of clans they belong to (the clans also go by multiple names), and then a couple of lines of backstory on each character, like their family relations or motivations. They're all inter-related and going to come back and you're not going to remember who's who otherwise.

The gay-ness is obvious to me, but if my dad watched this show, he would miss it completely.

cw: bunch of murder, torture, zombies. The special effects aren't convincing so it doesn't bother me much.

Awkward girl with situational mutism and a desire to go to space to find people to belong with meets manic pixie dream girl who is an actual telepathic alien trying to go back home.

To me it looks like an autism/ADHD power couple, but I am biased.

Besties who have major crush on one another but can't communicate for shit have shared dreams in which they are able to live out their desires.

This spends too much time having the main characters fight, and not enough time having them fall in love.

Feels standard so far, but it's a formula that works. This is very much 'content', not art.

current

mlm. ~430 minutes

Supremely stupid and campy, intentionally so.

Young vampires breaking vampire law to go to the human world just because they feel like it. Then shenanigans. Finding true love or revenge or some shit.

cw: Straight up rape in sleep, but 'it's okay because we're boyfriends'.

Intern discovers the guy he's chatting with online turns out to be his new boss. Also, magic dreams and mythical creatures?

Idk so far the dynamic between the main leads feels too heteronormative to me. But there's a GL side couple and a promise of magic coming later on, so I will keep watching.

Insecure country bumpkin goes to college in the big city to pursue some bloke who helped him get over his dead bird.

on hold because the last episode has stalled for months.

Dude has a boyfriend and a kiddo to take care of, but he also has schizophrenia and a guilty conscience. It is hard to tell what is really happening in this series, and what is just the main character's hallucinations. But that's the point.

cw: please take the 'horror' tag this has seriously. Graphic burn wounds, death, delusions and hallucinations, kidnapping, cheating.
