Watched 2026

02/01/26

Fantastic in pretty much every way. Interesting plot, thrilling suspense, hilarious (dark af) comedy that has you even feeling guilt for laughing, and raw social commentary. The kind of story that even the slow moments feel necessary to tell. The overall quality was also very good, felt like it actually took place in the 70s. Clever, funny, and witty. Don't think I would've been able to watch it had it not been a comedy. 

Bonus points: SML perpetually in distress... mmmm~ He also whimpers near the end *chefs kiss*

I knew where this was going from the beginning, and it still hit me hard. Heartbreaking plot-twist. Overall, a solid short watch.

Finally a FL that actually remains toxic and shady all throughout. A BDSM-themed romance between two villains trying to out-villain each other. FL tames and keeps ML as her pet, and the role reversal was great. Some amazing steamy scenes too (like all the necklace grabs? Augh). Plot was not good, but what to expect from a vertical mini?

A drama that starts out with a very interesting premise of a vengeful black-flag FL kidnapping and mistreating the ML, only to completely undermine her pain and cruelty by making her have faked it all along. After everything she endured, making her such a doormat feels strange. The romance, despite its beginning, is actually quite tender, even if not as role reversal as it promised to be. FL was lacking grit, but ML committed to his role incredibly.

Everything I could ask for in a drama!!! Incredible commitment to the role reversal with a genuinely toxic red-flag FL relentlessly pursuing and forcing herself on ML. Hot forced kisses galore, witty banter, quite decent writing, and overall good quality. Sadly, the ending was left a bit vague and rushed, not conclusively resolving the arcs brought up throughout the drama.

Witty, clever, and atypical. A refreshing take on the transmigration reverse harem with a cunning and genuinely intelligent FL (whose plotting seems to actually make more sense than others) who's also very dominant, taming four different men into her submissive playthings. She manipulates her lovers and enemies alike, playing a difficult game effortlessly, and it was very fun to watch! 

It leaned a bit too far on the domme-core for my taste, and some of the MLs were less RR, but I thoroughly enjoyed how they committed to the dominant FL flirting shamelessly with all these men.

ML (courtesan) and TML (mistreated didi) were my absolute favs!! 10/10

Very similar vibe to "Forever Love" in the first half. Dominant as hell FL shamlessly pursuing ML, forcing him to be her man and even abducting him from his own wedding. Interesting enough, but turned more bland and typical in the 2nd half. Also riddled with misunderstandings that drag on forever, and pretty shallow side characters.

A vague microfilm that would've made for an interesting full-length movie.

A story about polyamory that's more tasteful than others (i.e. not portraying polyamory as just flat out cheating) but still lacking. It felt a lot like the woman was kinda sidelined, and romance was entirely absent when she was involved. It felt like the two MLs fell in love after this arrangement and felt too bad for FL to tell her... Idk, I was hoping for something different but still okay.

For a Thai ad, not too bad. Especially the visual effects were pretty impressive. Sadly a lot of plot holes despite it being only 17 minutes. Like, despite being in a video game, all the characters who 'die' also come back for a final hurrah to help FL defeat her enemies, and like? How does that work?

Overall, a pretty solid romance about ex-lovers reconnecting and working together as NPCs in a video game. They scheme and plot together while bickering and slowly falling back in love. Unfortunately the matriarchy was handled atrociously so I didn't enjoy it much.

An interesting mythological movie about star-crossed lovers. Overall, it was pretty decent, mostly interesting, but it just wasn't... great. It was campy and low-budget.
