A total waste of main characters
My Gear and Gown would have had a better potential if they had selected better main characters. Itt and Pai had zip chemistry. They seemed awkward and uncomfortable with each other and the kissing made it worse! There was no passion, love or bringing them together by kissing. It was like kissing a wet fish!Fiat stole the show he was a great character that held the show together although the character was outed as having HIV then it was dropped and never mentioned again! He put some life in this series! A great asset but unable to carry the whole series by himself. The story line of rich/poor guy is a similar story line that is used in BL Stories. Hey, not a problem just get main actors who can act!

Beautiful Love Story
I’ve watched this film more than once.. it is a beautiful love story that evolves from two beautiful souls who desperately want to find love. One that has been rejected because of his strong and “ just says what comes to mind” personality. The other, who has been rejected by an ex-girlfriend who is currently in a relationship with his brother. He longs to find another true love. Shino is the strong personality. Shino deep down is afraid to get hurt, so he embellishes his strong demeanor, as a way to protect his feelings. Shino has been dumped by GF’s due to his crass and loud personality but he feels he should be accepted as he is. Seryou, on the other hand, is sought after by all the girls in school because he is kind and thoughtful. He devised a plan where he dates for a week just anyone who confesses their like of him but then dumps them if he doesn’t fall in love with them in a week. It’s not a game , he says, it’s someone looking for love. One day, Shino impulsively asks Seryou to go out with him and he accepts. From then on, it’s a slow tale of two sensitive people falling in love yet not communicating their feelings towards each other. They both fail to be open and honest leading to misunderstandings as they both trip, fall and finally realize their true feelings for each other and are able to express them. Jealousy, apprehension and fear rule their relationship until they are finally able to come to terms with their true feelings and communicate how they really feel about each other.It is a poignant love story told with beautiful views of the cityscape of Japan. A tale of two young men who fall in love while participating in a “silly” dating game.

Check out, check out!!!
This series is not the normal schoolboy BL. This storyline is about two adults who meet while on vacation and fall in love. Nine is getting away from a girlfriend who cheated on him while Doaenuea is getting away from a breakup with his boyfriend. They meet and slowly become friends then one night while drinking they have consensual sex. The next day waking up, Doaenuea looks for Nine he finds he has left. He had given him his social media so he contacts him over and over but no response. Doaenuea is heartbroken but continues working for his ex at an advertising company.One day while at the advertising company Nine walks in. Doaenuea is flabbergasted how could this be? Tee, his boss and exBF introduces Nine as his old college buddy who wants to invest in the company. Looks travel between them and Tee asks Nine if he had ever met Doaenuea and he flatly denies it. Doaenuea is totally confused. Why is he here? Why did he show up is he following me? Then Tee starts telling Nine about the company and Nine decides to become a shareholder to help Tee build the company back up after the COVID hit it took. Tee explains to Doaenuea that Nine is rich and his best friend and there is no way he would cause him problems as Doaenuea warns him of Nine’s likely intentions.
The company approves Nine and so it starts with Doaenuea and Nine working together with Nine trying to reconcile with Doaenuea but Doaenuea giving him the cold shoulder. Why didn’t you respond to my emails he tells him! Nine tells him I never forgot our night or you. You were drunk you don’t even remember! Nine shoots back with, “ I was not drunk and I remember it all!” Doaenuea was trying to resist Nine’s attempts s since he arrived and when Nine saw Doaenuea and Tee together it would make him furious!
Nine did not tell Doaenuea the truth that he had reconciled with his GF. She begged him to take her back and he slowly gave in. She even moved back in with him at his place. This part was shown at the beginning of the second part where Nine shows up at Doaenuea’s work. . This will surely cause problems in the future as well as with Tee the ex-Bf.
As Doaenuea was leaving work Nine waited til everyone was gone and cornered him not allowing him to leave. Nine knew Doaenuea would be joining his Ex that evening. Tee, was in fact, waiting for him at his apartment hoping for a reconciliation by cooking a meal and buying him a necklace. Nine knew he had to stop Doaenuea from leaving the office so he blocked his way and forcefully kissed him Doaenuea tried to resist but his feelings were too powerful and he gave in. There are some explicit and steamy sex scenes in the adult uncut version. So far, so good!!! Can’t wait for the next episode! This is treacherous territory for Doaenuea and Nine. Plus Nine is not being honest with Doaenueain being selfish but obsessed with Doaenuea. Get prepared for a wild ride with this series!!

Forgotten Night?
I had high expectations for this BL. It was SMBD so it caught my attention thinking wow BL is going towards a more mature adult audience. I watched episode 1 and it kinda confused me as Kim was in the same bar as his exBF who had a new love. They were being affectionate in front of Kim who was wallowing in his sorrows with a drink or two or three…..Then Kim gets up and starts out for the boys RR with his ex following. You see Kim crying uncontrollably water running in the sink. The ex-BF apologizes to Kim telling him he tried but could not fall in love with him. And, that he loves his new Bf. Kim continues to cry and nods acknowledging that yes, he understands, he could not love him. Heartbroken he leaves. He continues to cry at his home trying to understand why he cannot find true love especially the loss of this his true love pining for years but an unrequited love that cannot be returned.The Mafia boss is captured entering the hotel where high rollers are meeting to seal big deals. The paps snap his picture as he exits his limo. He is followed by his entourage. Kamol has an unusual sexual appetite or needs.

He continues to cry at his home trying to understand why he cannot get his true love to love him back.
The Mafia boss (Kamol) is captured entering the hotel where high rollers are meeting to seal big deals. The paps snap his picture as he exits his limo. He is followed by his entourage. Kamol has an unusual sexual appetite he craves SMBD and inflicts pain on his partners. Although always letting them know what they are getting into before his “sexual rituals” start. A beautiful penthouse with a variety of sexual props are shown. Kamol has various men that he picks up but none click with him lesving him unsatisfied. He continues his search dismissing those he uses with his henchmen escorting them out the next morning.
Kim visits his parents who are happy to see him. They are supportive of their son and his lifestyle which is refreshing to observe. His father tells him its his loss, not yours. At the office Kim looks dejected and the girls in the office want to cheer him up so they decide to invite him to the local bar. He doesn’t tell them he has suffered a broken heart. Soon, a suitor who has a crush on Kim, shows up. Kim tells the girls to get him off his back which they do in a funny part of the episode as anything Samantha does she lightens up!
Kim joins the girls at the bar and after having a good time the girls leave. Kim decides to stay behind and drink more. Kamol approaches him and Kim asks if he is interested. Kamol nods and Kim tells him can you help me forget my ex. Kamol agrees. Kamol keeps asking him if he is drunk and Kim states no he is not drunk. Kamol will not proceed if the men he picks up are totally wasted. Next, Kim is at the penthouse snd Kamol asks again but Kim reaffirms that he is not drunk. Kim pulls him down for contact but Kamol opens the dresser drawer next to the bed exposing sex props, leather handcuffs which he slips on Kim’s wrists, a leather feather like whip and a candle. He leans in for a kiss. Kamol proceeds to handcuff his wrists (loosely) then whip his chest gently and pour hot wax from the burning candle lightly on his chest. Kim writhes in pain, then we suddenly see his hands go limp inside the cuffs.
Next, Kim looks at his bruises and wonders why he let this happen. Kim knows he’s not into kinky sex or is he? He looks for his clothes snd wants to leave feeling uncomfortable. He finds a note saying he had to go to the work but will be back asap. Anxious to leave, Kim looks around and sneaks out of the penthouse.
Kim is seen back at his place calling the office that he will be out the day as he does not feel well. The girls are quizzical but understand.
The preview shows Kamol looking for Kim and wanting him to come live with him as he finally made a connection with the person he’s been searching for..,(too bad I didn’t see that connection). And, Kim upset that Kamol just showed up demanding he leave with him. Oh, well, episode 2 coming up maybe that will hold more interesting connections between the two. We shall see…!!!
