Sashes and Hearts (2025)

Desfilando Sem Holofotes

Eu queria me sentir nos bastidores do Mister Universe Royale, torcendo pelos candidatos, mas acabei perdido em um roteiro que atirou para todos os lados — drama familiar, triângulo amoroso, pobreza, rivalidade — e acertou em poucos. A dinâmica entre Jack, Tomas e Tony testou minha paciência, mas a qualidade precária do áudio e da edição foi o verdadeiro vilão da obra. O tema até foi um diferencial, mas, surpreendentemente, não foi o casal principal que me prendeu, e sim a dinâmica paralela de Gin e Jarret. Achei a construção deles mais natural e menos sofrida do que o trisal fatídico.

way too many characters and uninteresting plot points

Overall: on brand with nice music, innuendos and way too many characters/plot that I cared nothing about and intended comedy that didn't work. 13 episodes about 50 minutes each.

What I Liked
- visuals
- easy to understand premise
- chuckled a few times with the innuendo
- supportive sister/sibling relationship
- flirty moments, good being interested in more intimacy
- music
- the line "your lips got tired and laid on her lips?!"
- Xion Lim's cameos and not wearing shirts under his suit jackets

Room For Improvement
- flash forward with voice over start
- too many characters, cared nothing for the creepy manager/plot
- did not find most jokes funny
- 5/3 did not need to see a conversation while one guy was sitting on the toilet (and more toilet humor in the finale)
- camera blocked kissing in 6/4
- liked one pair but then a guy was a jerk in the second part of ep 7/1
- liked the makeup artist but then he tried to guilt his friend into a romantic relationship
- the finale had zero kisses!!!, we got a near kiss and a hug, meh
