Club Friday The Series Season 5: Secret of a Heart That Doesn't Exist (2015)

Story: This drama focuses more on Boss than on the romantic relationship between him and Win. It shows how Boss struggles with his feelings throughout his high school days into adulthood, whether it's a one-sided relationship, unrequited love, or a brief wind of romance. I liked also the dynamic between Boss and his mother in particular, about how they truly care for each other.

Acting: Pchy, from Love of Siam, delivers the role of Boss to the T. He plays with such a range of emotion from happiness of his first love and to the sadness of his mother's illness. The actor who plays Win, however, is bland. I believed the Pchy carried the role and made the story more believable as we see him going through the struggle of getting his family to accept his lifestyle choices.

Music: Nothing worthwhile to note

Re-watch value: If only to see Pchy's acting maybe, but otherwise, not really.

This is a very hopeful film about making the difficult but appropriate decision to come out, being intimate and pledging yourself to a man, and carrying on courageously when things turn out very different than you expect them to. Watch the young man Boss soar at the end, having decided to love a man and experienced heart break in his personal and romantic lives--and still he soars, twisting and turning with the current, but still afloat in the air, determined to make a life for himself as a gay man. Approach the film with an open mind; ride with the currents of the excellent acting and emotional ups and downs; believe in Boss and his resilience; and your viewing experience will be genuinely uplifting.
