Just had a riot of a chat with my ultra-cool mom about ‘Playboyy’s’ twists and turns. She’s all befuddled, goes, ‘You sure this is BL, not a ladies’ love fest? Zoey and Tina sound like they’d rather be in a chick flick!’
Had to school her on the wild world of Thai naming conventions!
And just when I thought I could recover from that second-hand embarrassment, enter Tew's 'injuries' – more fake than a three-dollar bill. Whacked by a few logs and no broken bones? Just a busted lip and some bruises that look more like he lost a fight with a sidewalk? And then there's Guy, playing nursemaid – come on, ever heard of a little thing called 'time lapse'? 'Three Days Later...' ever crossed your mind?
But wait, there's more! Just when I'm about to throw in the towel, in come the other characters to save the day. Tul, Boss, and Kenji bring in the real laughs and plot twists.
So, what's my big takeaway? That I'm pretty much just here for Meen and enduring the rest of the BL circus!
Now, I’m not exactly looking to see any male parts in action, but come on, the lack of… ‘substance’ is almost comical. But then I thought, ‘Hey! In the world of BL, where the norm is double underwear, Playboyy has boldly gone where no show has gone before – down to just one pair. Let’s give them a round of applause, shall we?
‘Stop! We shouldn’t get any closer than this. It’s heading towards danger!’
But that second part? I was absolutely in stitches, especially with the subtitles screaming ‘heavy Thai accent’ at me. All I heard in Japanese was ‘boyfriend’! And honestly, I can’t even with listening to it again. 🤦🏼♀️😅🤣🤣
Fun fact – in Japan, people say "Kuwabara Kuwabara" to keep lightning at bay. By the way, I hope you're loving 'One Room Angel'!
And about Dech in Playboyy, seriously not feeling that vibe. But on Twitter? He’s totally giving off ‘take home to meet the fam for Thanksgiving’ vibes. 😉
First off, let’s paint the town pink with a bit about Japan’s pink films. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill flicks. They’re like the rebels of Japanese cinema, dancing on the edge with adult themes, but also, oh so artsy! They’re the kind of movies that make you go, “Hmm, this is spicy, but it’s also making me think.”
What makes them special? Well:
1. Artistry: Each scene is a carefully crafted visual delight. It’s like, “Hey, I came for the steamy bits, but now I’m admiring the cinematography.”
2. Social Commentary: They’re not just about what’s under the sheets. They dig deep into society’s closet, pulling out all sorts of skeletons.
3. Experimental Spirit: These films don’t just break the mold; they smash it. Expect the unexpected in narrative and style.
Now, let’s shimmy over to “Playboyy”. Someone saw those NC scenes and thought, “Aha! Pink film vibes!” But hold your horses. While it’s got the eye candy and the artistry (maybe), it’s like a sandwich without the pickles when it comes to social commentary and experimental edge. So far, it’s playing it safe, like sticking to the shallow end of the pool.
But here’s the kicker: I’m definitely tuning in for episode two. Because, let’s face it, art isn’t just about what the critics say. It’s about the journey, the surprises, and hey, maybe “Playboyy” will throw in a curveball that’ll have us all rethinking our comparisons. Art thrives on conversation, and baby, we’re just getting started!
