Goodness! 😉😉😉

I need a gay-themed version of this, ALSO starring Matsazuka Tori.
The second half convinced me this is intended as a parody.
omg, the pinky finger scene.
Tori is going to move several spaces up my Best Feature Film Actors list.
Some of the sex-acting (Awe sure it was acting?) was a bit porn-fake-ish.

Far from perfect but Tori, as always, completely committed to this project.
The flick gets at least a full star extra just for GOING THERE.

9/10

Meh.

Lee Byung Hoon is a beautiful man and a very good actor, but even his magnificent presence can't keep me watching this turd any longer...dumping a little more than halfway through.

The FL has zero sex appeal or screen presence so if someone could tell me why all the men in this film are in love with her, that would be great.

No one survives six feet of mud and water...sorry, not possible. These Yakuza types need to quit standing around talking in wise summations of life and lighting up cigs instead of getting right to the killing...it always leads to no good.

Dropped.

Sometimes cute and zany but also oftentimes lame.
So, the Lesbian just turned off her Lesbianism button?
Cute guys, should have been a BL instead of a straight show.

6.5/10

Holy crap. Taking a break at 1:117:01 because I'm so stressed, and also to ask a question: WTF do you build a nuclear power plant RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE OCEAN on the side of Japan notorious throughout the centuries for its goddam tsunamis?!!!!

Am I somehow wrong to ask what seems like a simple question?

OK, going back in.

I no longer hesitate to drop movies or dramas that take a turn for the stupid, like this one did.

The initial premise involving the high school-age twin brothers and the bullying thing was intriguing. Then it got even MORE intriguing with the rooftop incident. THEN...it all went to shit.

I am beyond over shrieking/wailing Korean mothers who randomly choose to blame and berate siblings who had absolutely zero control over what the b****s are wailing about. I was hoping the twin at the police station would punch her out. It wasn't enough to blame him for the actions of the other, but then she demands he take the other's place. What the living f**k? I was glad to see her show up in an urn.

Problem is, as soon as the plot did a time jump into drugs/cop/thriller/ territory it got boring. Who cares? Seen it. Been there. Have the tee shirt. What was interesting was the twins/bullying/death thing...had we stuck with that timeline and gone forward this might have been interesting. For a few minutes at this point I actually thought there was a glitch in the video and I was in another movie.

BTW, if you're going to cast a strikingly hot actor as a set of twins when they're young, you have to cast a strikingly hot actor to play them as grownups. Fail.

I punted when the cop melodramatically tossed fish all over the conference room table.

Repeated problem in Korean crime flicks, especially ones about bullying: People are forever going to prison for the deaths and injuries of malevolent tormentors who brought about their OWN death. The bully who fell had been violently harassing and otherwise abusing one of the twins for a long time. This would have been easy to document and would be a mitigating factor. PLUS, the other twin did not push or otherwise propel the creep to his demise. The creep jumped him, he ducked and the creep went over; case closed. But no matter; in minutes we had the shrieking mother, one twin as much as confessing, and the worst investigation in the history of Korean bullying.

Done. Out. Over. Punted. Dropped.

35 minutes...dropped.

Not gonna give it that extra 10 minutes of my life.

Absolutely terrible.
Thailand continues to aggressively insult its BL audience by releasing this sort of made-in-a-minute garbage. At least it's nice to know I won't feel obligated to waste 45 minutes of my time each week for the next century.

Dropped.

I watched the first episode and found this show intriguing and well-directed/acted despite a low budget, so I hoped it would turn out to be a good series. But beginning with episode 2 the series has gone downhill to where I don't want to watch anymore.

Must-see film, especially for those interested in WW2 history.

Great to see Watanabe Ken so young...I didn't know it was him until I came here to rate the film. He's become a much better actor over the years since this film.

This would have been a 10/10 from me except for some cheesy and over-the-top acting here and there, which I blame on the director. Also, some inexplicable behaviors from characters here and there.
Best performance in the film may be that of Kishida Kyoko as the head nurse.

9/10

Highly recommended.

The ML here is exceptional.
The FL here is atrocious.
Cannot stand this actress.
Almost as annoying as her character.

From promising to putrid in just 4 eps. How'd they do that?
Dropped. Life's too short.

1/10

Didn't think Thai BL quality could sink any lower. I was wrong.

Out after 45 minutes. Dropped.

Lord, how did you hold on and watch the whole thing? I was out during episode 1. :
You deserve an endurance medal.

"hit/kick/punch" lol

Your reviews are...something.

Are you ok? There has been one heavy make out scene and one scene where they are shown just AFTER having sex. Not nearly spicy enough.

And here come the prudes...

lol Amen.

Well said. So many MDLers see sex as this dark, nasty, rare thing, when in fact it is one of the, if not THE, most powerful influence on human behavior, including those far outside the bedroom. There's a really unhealthy view of sex as something to be whispered about, hidden. Lot of shame-based sex-related thinking on this site.

Bravo!

I realized I had wasted far too many keystrokes and brain cells interacting with you, so I deleted my replies.

All I really want to say is it's a pleasure inadvertently pushing your innumerable and hyper-sensitive buttons with my comments, eliciting the wildly revealing sort of replies you leave.

Thanks.
