Work From Heart (2022)

A historia em si não é ruim, é até interessante. Não sei se algumas coisas se perdem na tradução ou se é mesmo falha de direção e edição: algumas cenas sem continuidade e sem conexão com a história, personagens desnecessários, situações não resolvidas...e por aí vai, uma série de erros e falhas. O elenco é fofíssimo, e a cena hot final foi até bem feita mas, ainda sim, faltou sequência na história. Sá para pegar a ideia geral? Dá, mas você passa muita raiva com as situações não resolvidas que ficaram no ar ... mas vale como passatempo.

Well, that was weird!!

I'm being hella optimistic here, but what in them product placements was this?! You know how sometimes, there's a movie scene which just has to be a dream sequence? Too ill-fitting? Too plot-breaking? Damn right. It's what Work From Heart is made of, and they never say sike.

Let's get to the positives:

1. I like the songs! Not enough to look them up, but they were nice distractions from the boring semi-plot.

2. The preachy parts didn't feel as preachy as they usually do. Maybe because everything was just so ridiculous, I could see it fit quite well. Might even catch feels once or twice.

3. Song-Ve. They were cute together. And even had some development.

Point 4 could be something like "good visuals" or "attractive actors", but really. This is a BL. Thai BL. If anything, they always manage to bring in pretty faces.

As for the notable negatives...phew. Do we even want to go there? Let's just say it's boring. Cringe. Occasionally uncomfortable. Not much makes sense. We see blatant discrimination, homophobia, sexual harassment... They even had a 'pretend gay' subplot! I could be actually pissed, if only it wasn't all so ridiculous. Taking this seriously would be an insulting waste of your time, so don't. If you're here for the weird, ride with the weird.

In the end, there's no sane reason to pick WfH over any other boring, no-plot thai BL of late. But I would still gladly watch a GuyFries spin-off of this, so it couldn't have been that bad!! Right?
