refreshing to see two guys hot for each other
Overall: it's really nice (and rare) to see two guys who are equally into the other person intimacy-wise, though I am aware the series had flaws. 10 episodes about 50 minutes each. Aired on IQIYI https://www.iq.com/album/peach-lover-2026-1x86zyfuj9x?lang=en_us
Content Warnings: past suicide, manipulation, kidnapping, beaten up, violence, attempted rape
Watch Suggestions
- start episode 1 at 4 minutes
- start episode 2 at 5 minutes (did not need a 4 minute recap)
- watch episodes 3 & 4
- start episode 5 at 19:30
- watch episode 6
- episode 7 stop at 50:30
- episode 8 stop at 7:30
- episode 9 watch 42:40-end
- start episode 10 at 5:30
What I Liked
- Sasom was upfront about what he wanted
- Po was into it and not a blushing virgin
- sensual scenes done well (though wish there was a safe sign/word in episode 3)
- it seemed that Sasom did not tell what Po to do in episode 4 which I appreciated
- a character punched his dad who deserved it and there wasn't a crappy redemption arc done
- a character talked with what appeared to be a therapist in episode 10
Room For Improvement
- the AI generated art at the beginning and the end of episode 1 and throughout the series which was ironic given that the main character's job (drawing book covers) is being rendered obsolete by AI (can start at 4 minutes to skip it for the beginning of ep 1)
- voiced inner thoughts (so much telling instead of showing), narration dumps
- side couple was just there, I didn't know what purpose they served
- episode 4 was a bit disjointed, suddenly they had a fight, this choppiness happened a few more times
- the break up was nonsense
- comedy sound effects did not make things funny
