Hello everyone. So just like on my last HIStory review, I’m going to start off with a brief summary about what HIStory is. For any of you not familiar with the HIStory series, it is a series created by Choco TV from Taiwan who I think is now going by Choco Media Entertainment. Every story is an LGBTQ story with the focus being BL. They are currently on the third season. Each season contains two to three different shows. The first season has three different series of four episodes each. The second season contains two different series of eight episodes each. And this third season will have three different series…

[The Stranded] Episode 1
The Stranded is a new Netflix series from Thailand that aired last month. I’m usually not one to take an interest in shows or movies with kids trapped on an island. I was traumatized from watching Lord of The Flies back in high school so I swore off of such films, series, and books. But I wanted to give this show a try because the filming budget looked like a huge upgrade from the Thai dramas I have been watching. Also, a few actors and actresses that I recognized are in this show and I wanted to see them. Perth, Mark, Jan, and Beam. At only 7 episodes in total,…

[Our Skyy] Episode 4 – Pete & Kao
Just like with all of my other reviews for Our Skyy, this review will contain spoilers. So far out of the four Our Skyy episodes that I have seen, this was by far the silliest of the bunch. The whole time I was either laughing or rolling my eyes at just how dumb and silly things were. In this episode, Kao runs into an old lady that predicts that he will run into a stroke of bad luck and many things in his life will go awry including his relationship. She writes down a list of things he needs to complete in order to dodge the bad luck. After this,…

[Movie Review] Formula 17
Formula 17 is a gay romantic comedy, coming of age story that was released back in 2004 or 2005. I’m not entirely sure which year it was because everywhere I check says one or the other. Either way, it was released in the early 2000s. I see this movie recommended in the BL movie lists online so I decided to give it a try. The film follows a 17 year old boy named Tien who left his small town for the big city of Taipei to meet his online “boyfriend”. Tien is a hopeless romantic and believes that he is going to meet the love of his life and stands…

[Sotus S] Episode 10
I would like to offer a quick apology for such a long absence between my SOTUS reviews. I seriously have no excuse besides laziness, distractions, and still not wanting SOTUS to end. So anyway! In episode 10, we are still at the beach with the company having fun. But things turn awry quickly when P’Danai finds out that the new product they have been producing (the one P’John’s team presented) have all been rejected. All the different departments call a meeting with their staff members at the beach and call off the fun activities. We find out that the product is a smokeless griller but they are being rejected because…
