VIP Only (2023)

 I discovered that VIP Only has been produced by the same company of Stay by My Side and You Are Mine, two series I quite enjoyed, and the fourth, and for now last, production is Anti-Reset, one series I'm waiting for. So it was not surprise I quite enjoyed VIP Only. It was, as expected, cute and sweet, not too much sexy, but they well played the intimate moment, the hand of Gu Jing on Liu Li's nape was so sexy, it was worth more than 100 french kisses. One common trend of these series, is that they are mostly played between the main leads, intimate moments and suggestive theme songs in background, but the few scene with supporting characters are nice as well, and the cast is always fitted. I have to say these pairings are actually perfect, and the mood is a mix of comedy and romance in a perfect blend. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala, iQIYI and Viki. Heat Level: 3/6.

You Are Mine (2023)

 You Are Mine is one of the first series I have seen and is still one of my favorites. It's a cute comedy, but it played the sexy underground feeling very well, never exagerating but giving you enough sweet intimate moments to enjoy. Xia Shang Zhou is the aloof male lead I most enjoy, one who, once his love interest is awaken, is willing to do everything to conquer Yao Shun Yu, who is a sweet, naive man, but with an heart bigger than him. You will arrive at the end of the story with a smile that never faltered. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and Viki. Heat Level: 3/6.

Jun & Jun (2023)

 Jun & Jun was good, but it had some fault in the plot that prevented me to fully enjoy it. The starting point, having Jun and Jun meet by chance at the bus stop, when instead Choi Jun was well aware of Lee Jun's existence, having followed his idol career from afar. A by chance meeting, following by the coincidence that Lee Jun is working for Choi Jun, was a little too much. Second point I didn't like is the involvement of Simeon in the plot, all right, in the end the real love interest of Simeon is another man, but still I didn't like the intrusion. Said that the chemistry between Jun and Jun is very good, they are both funny and sexy together, a blend that is difficult to maintain, and I liked very much their interactions, both in public and private spaces. There is a funny fact I noticed, Choi Jun seems way taller than Lee Jun, and instead they are more or less the same. It's the way Choi Jun moves and acts, and it's perfect for his role. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala, Viki and WeTV. Heat Level: 3/6.

Twins (2023)

 Twins was nice, but to me nothing to talk home about. The sport theme was well played, and for a lover of this thrope, it could be a bonus. Plus there are cute couples, at least three I liked, and all of them have their sweet, or sometime sexy, moments together, so these is another bonus. But the story of the twins changing place has been played in a better way (Not Me) and there was nothing added here to make the plot interesting. So it was a good one, but nothing exceptional. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 4/6.

The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window (2021)

 The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window is not a gay movie, if you want to stretch it, it's a bromance. And it has a lot of blood and gory details I didn't need to see. And so, why I saw it, and liked it? well, let me start with the obvious fact: have you seen the two male leads? And that poster? after seeing that, do you really want me to believe there is nothing sexy happening between Hiyakawa Rihito and Mikado Kosuke? let me point to the evidences... first Mikado wants to mark Rihito to avoid other people going into him (this is the second pont, I will arrive to it), and where does he choose to put the tattoo? on the top of his backside! And no, there is no dirty jokes between them for the choosen place, but still, it's saying a lot. Second, Mikado is always saying Rihito to not let people inside him, that when Mikado is inside Rihito everything is clearer, good and perfect... Ok, this could be a translation issue, but I don't think it's far from what is the original meaning of this. So again, an innuendo? Anyway, the relationship between Mikado and Rihito is so intensive and close, that, even if there is nothing sexual happening between them, it's anyway charged with sexuality. Give it a try if you don't mind the gory details. Heat Level: 1/6.

How About Some Coffee? (2021)

 How About Some Coffee? is not tagged as a gay romance, and indeed there is not a love story linked to Hajime Aoyama... there are three! Once you arrive at the end you will learn that Hajime Aoyama is the love interest of Shima Kakine (but apparently she likes more the coffee than the coffeemaker), "Pei" (Sugi Sanpei) and my favorite, the cute baby boss "Bocchan" (Doro Ryu Kai), a third generation leader. I have to say that, up until the baby boss enters the story, I wasn't sold on this being a gay romance, and for most of episode 7 I was trying to understand if Bocchan wanted to kill Aoyama, or if he was in love with him. But the last episode, Bocchan, presented with the opportunity to see Aoyama, says he will not since he has to become a fierce boss, only then he will be ready to propose Aoyama! If this is not a love declaration, I'm not sure what else is. HEA. Heat Level: 1/6.
