The story directed by Rod Singh (of the acclaimed Cinema One Originals movie "Mamu; And a Mother Too") revolves around a group of gay men engaging in an orgy, carefully selecting their invites and negotiating their desires & preferences. One of the members of the orgy, a medicine graduate named Ram, is secretly dating Niko, a filmmaker in his mid-20s. His orgy group finds Niko attractive and decides to invite Niko to join the group. As Niko slowly becomes more entwined in the setup, his romance with Ram begins to crumble, leading Ram to resolve that the only way to win Niko back is to tear apart his friendship with his sexual partners. This web series is made in partnership with Blued, an organization that advocates for safer sex and HIV testing. (Source: Official YouTube) Edit Translation

Started Off Good But Left Me Underwhelmed

STORY:
This series is good for BL fans who enjoy more mature content and don’t mind a bit of smut. The setting is different than your more mainstream BLs, which I thought gave it a more interesting touch. The episodes follow the same general format: most of it focuses on introducing characters and advancing the storyline and concludes with a more gratuitous sex scene (which, yes, can get explicit—though no complete nudity is shown. If that’s not your thing then you may want to skip those parts, but if you want something less vanilla than a lot of other BLs, then you won’t be disappointed). That said, I found that as the episode number increased, the plot line was given less attention, the story felt really rushed, and the characters acted in ways that felt flat, inorganic, and solely for the purpose of pushing a particular narrative. That is, I would have appreciated their actions more had they--the characters--been given more backstory and development. Having finished the series, I’m left wanting so much more based on the story line and first few episodes, but unfortunately the story seemed to get a little lost and underwhelming about halfway through.

ACTING:
A bit hit or miss. I thought the three main guys—Brian, Andre, and Ryan—were decent, but the supporting cast was about what you’d expect coming from what I’m thinking is a lower-budget project (in other words, I don’t think they’ll make it as actors).

MUSIC:
Really cool vibe, I liked it.

REWATCH VALUE AND OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Although nowhere near among the best dramas I’ve seen, the story was entertaining and somewhat different. I wish more time was given to plot and character development, but the episodes are short so it’s not a huge investment of time. If you’re interested in the series and don’t mind a bit of what’s essentially soft porn, then I’d say go for it. Just don’t expect a super deep and profound masterpiece.

Outra decepção Filipina

Olha galera, vindo das Filipinas eu não posso reclamar muito, pq já começo a assistir esperando que não seja um show de qualidade, quando é, é uma grata surpresa, porém não foi nesse caso.

Posso dizer que a série é mais LGBT+ do que BL. Um plot até interessante, porém pessimamente desenvolvido, e com um final aberto pra piorar tudo.
A história gira em torno de duas situações. A primeira é o grupo de amigos de um jovem chamado Ram, que organiza orgias homossexuais, e a segunda é o namoro de Ram e Nikko, que faz com que ele se afaste desses amigos para priorizar seu amor e seus estudos. O primeiro plow Twist acontece pq Ram descobre que seu namorado, por quem ele se afastou das orgias, agora trai ele participando das orgias (que FDP). O segundo plow Twist é no final, quando percebemos que André, que até então era um safado em minha concepção, era quem conversava pelo chat com Ram, o que me fez pender para o lado dele.

O chato dessa história é que ela acaba não fazendo sentido por não explicar o porquê de certas situações. Pq Nikko implorou pelo perdão de Ram se já tinha outro a quem amava e com quem estava se relacionando? Aliás, como alguém perdoa algo assim? Pq não fizeram mais um EP mostrando como ficou a situação entre Ram e André? André sabia quem era RAM? Tenho muitas perguntas e quase nada de respostas... 8 EPS curtíssimos que me fizeram perder tempo.

Críticas? Tenho muitas... Obviamente é um projeto de baixa produção, mas além do roteiro, temos outros problemas. Além do núcleo principal, a atuação dos demais era questionável. Odiei o que eles faziam com o jovem empregado de André, tratavam ele muito mal e deveriam ter no mínimo levado uma lição por isso. Como o enredo é ruim, a quantidade enorme de cenas de sexo e nudez parecem muito apelativas, como algo que as pessoas "gostam de ver" para compensar a qualidade.

Em relação aos aspectos técnicos, a única coisa que achei interessante foi o fato de não se passar nem em escola/universidade ou escritório, mas a ambientação poderia ter saído de dentro dos apartamentos, pelo amor de Deus, o povo coisando sem cessar, e haja c* pra tanto p@u.

Enfim, se quer assistir não espere uma obra de arte. Se gosta de putaria sem conteúdo, está no lugar certo, e se está apenas curioso, tire suas próprias conclusões, que podem divergir das minhas.

Eu não assistiria de novo nem que me pagassem.
