For Him (2023)

 Considering that I do like when there is explicit romance in the series, I had a lot of expectation for the series For Him, but aside from the sex scenes, that yes, in the end were quite boring, there is nothing much to save. I didn't like the main characters, nor Him or Nail, both of them are quite vapid, and didn't attract me at all. The sex scenes seemed to be too much, like the director wanted to make a point and had these two making all sort of moves, but in the end it seemed like there was no heart in them. The plot revolving around Nail being a copy of Blue, Him's former boyfriend, was improbable. Missing opportunity. HEA. You can see it on iQIYI. Heat Level: 6/6.

Same Difference (2014)

 Same Difference was so bad that in the end was good First of all, it's devoided of drama, no one dies, and, in their way, the two main leads end up together and happy. But the mood of the movie is satyrical, it's like the director was thinking lets prove how stupid the BL mangas are, lets make a movie replying all the excesses of the manga. Therefore the final result is that both main leads seem to be fake. But if approach this movie with the right perspective, as a satyra, in the end it's not bad. At least it made me smile. HEA. Heat Level: 5/6.

Melody of Our Love (2008)

 Melody of Our Love is on the line of those Japanese movies stating same sex love is dangerous, but at least, on the contrary of most of those movies, here no one dies. I was sort of wondering if including this movie, considering I really don't like to feature stories where there is not an happy ending, but indeed the last scene suggests that, a reformed Maki is back in town ready to conquer Ruiku. Said that Maki's treatment of Ruiku is awful, and if it was me, I would just avoid him forever. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 5/6.
