And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!
Although I really liked it…i couldn’t help but feel like i was missing something, as if some parts were cut out…
Btw this is only a short film. Why is that that short films are always the cutest? Damn you, film makers!
Anyway…everything in this movie is symbolic, from the Rabbit in is dreams, to his curly hair. I liked the symbolism!
And I felt a part of me die when Kwang shaved his lovely curly hair off </3
It was a little bit disappointing, as there wasn’t much physical contact between Kwang and Cheng… *sigh*
Kwang’s curly hair is awesome though!….and his hands are really nice too…. Kwang is just really attractive!!
Not a fan of the awkward moment when Cheng and Kwang go to this….Library(!? Seriously, was that a Library?!) and watch some porn. I DO NOT ADVISE you having the volume on when that scene takes place if your parents are in the next room….lorddd
I did laugh quite a bit when I saw all those tissue boxes though….
I believe…this Chinese for this movie is 少年不戴花…. not being able to speak Chinese, I have no idea
Watch Online: The film is avaliable on youtube, however the subs are hard to see in some shots….especially when its on a white background, I had to go blind through some of it, but I cant find a better subbed version, sorry!!

我再也不要对你那么好 – I Never Want to Be That Good to You Again. By: Calvin Weng 翁航融 Zeki Teng 滕子棋.
I dont FULLY understand this….as i dont speak chinese So forgive me if i get it wrong..
But what i gathered : 2 guys: BlondHairGuy and BrownHairGuy. Friends?! Maybe?
BrownHairGuy is out with a lady…and has been drinking(?) seems to be ill, i’m guessing Lady called BlondeHairGuy. BldeHG arrives, picks up BrnHG on his back and they walk back to an apartment. BldeHG puts BrnGH on the bed, gives him stuff to drink (which BrnHG refuses) BldeHGcleans him up a bit. Next thing they’re both in bed sleeping, BrnHG has his arm around BldeHG….CUUUUTE BrnHG wakes up next to BldeHG and is all like “…?” and gets up. BlondeHG wakes up, opens the curtains and looks out. There are flash backs from last night…its so adorable ^^ BldeHG is making a sandwich….or something?! The way he eats bread is super cute! :L BrnHG returns….they say something….BrnHG leaves again?! BldeHG is eating bread still. NEXT THINGS everything is in reverse It shows the Lady caring for BrnHG instead of BldeHG….It’s sad!!!!
My thoughts: Okay so i think….its about a guy who loved another so much, and he made the hard choice to walk away (like how the actions reversed, and the Lady was the one caring for him) But hey, what do i know 🙂
OOOPS if i misinterpreted it.. xD Side Note: BlondeHairGuy = Calvin Weng… or….no?
Language: Mandarin, Hokkien (and English in some places)
English Subs: Yes
Cast:
Vynn Soh – Vynn
Melvin Chan – Melvin

Well..they all play themselves ahah love it
Basic Plot Summary:
This semi documentary film shows the lives of five 15 year old juvenile boys in Singapore.
They live their lives apart from their family and school in complete social isolation, having only each other. The film show the reality of gang life in Singapore.
My thoughts:
*~WARNING!!!~*
May contain Spoilers!!!
And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!
Wow….this movie is intense. So intense…. It took me a while to work out which characters were which, but I eventually got it.
Okay just a few things: The movie isnt exactly what I would call a Boys Love Movie, in fact….its not really Its only here because shows the closeness between the boys and it was recommended to me 🙂
Quote: ” even though there is heavy homoerotic tension between the characters, Royston Tan (the director) says that the boys whose lives he portrayed do not identify as gay.”
This movie does show a lot of shocking images, (It is rated 18 so….yeah ) such as self harming, moderate violence and drug trafficking. Most of these images are graphic, so just to warn you!
I think the character that I liked the most was Shaun. he was pretty cool. His dad was a total ass though, even though we only saw his arm…. Vynn was alright too. I didnt like Armani, he was a bit …much
Just to say I don’t really want to get into a whole thing, i know that this film was created to give an accurate description on gang life in Singapore and I believe the ‘characters’ are real people and I believe this film to be only semi documentary semi drama. (but I don’t know this for sure)
Its a very intense movie!!!! I know I’ve said that before!
This might be a bit far, but it reminded me of the movie “Requiem for a Dream” because it shows the things that no one really wants to talk about or even acknowledge, such as drug use, violence and prostitution.
This type of film really isn’t my cup of tea. I like films which touch on serious topics but gang related films just…I don’t like it.
For BL quality only *even though this isnt a bl movie….* 2/10

10 Episode series. In an elite all-boys school every year 3 students are chosen to become the schools Princesses, because the boys aren’t able to see girls. The princesses must attend events cheering and encouraging the clubs, dressed as girls.
The story focusses on Mikoto Yutaka who was chosen along with other students: Yuujiro Shihoudani and Tooru Kouno to be princesses. Mikoto initially refused to be a princess but after being convinced by the other Princesses he eventually agreed and accepted his role.
Otoya Hanazono transfers into the school and immediately starts wreaking havoc. He is completely unsatisfied with the Princess Systems and accuses the school council president, Shuuya Arisada of neglecting the feelings of the students wishes. So he creates his own Princess Team: The Dark Princesses, and the rivalry between the two Princess Teams begin….
My thoughts:
*~WARNING!!!~* May contain Spoilers!!! And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!
I liked it.. I mean attractive guys dressing up as girls, What’s not to like?!
Also I was a little disappointed about the lack of Boys Love content though, it was only overtones *sigh* I should have read the small print, eh?!
I haven’t seen the anime yet or read the Manga, but apparently the live drama added the relationship between Mikoto and Otoya. Mikoto had a girlfriend in the anime and the manga !
I loved seeing familiar faces though! Takumi Saito – the one and only Ray Fujita ❤ – the incredibly attractive guy from RH Plus (Closely following Rakuto Tochihara, of course xD) And KENTA KAMAKARI!! From the awesome J-Rock band Cocoa Otoko!! ( Which is a band I really really like and am completely heartbroken that they have disbanded -.-” – But i digress….)
When Shuuya does his thinking poses…i love it ! The synchronised swimming team is my favourite. They are so weird… to be honest, this whole drama is weird.
I have reason to believe there is around 30 people in the whole school and they all wander around in groups of 3’s… even at the Princess Event thing that Otoya crashed, there was only 15 people hanging around
Something that kinda annoyed/confused me was: I’m pretty certain in the precredits…y’know when MidnightPumpkin’s song VEGA was playing….there was a kiss…I swear in the whole drama there was not ONE SINGLE KISS!!! I demand to know where this kiss went?!!!! Was i just not looking???? Was it not there????
Episode 1 Mikoto, Yuujiro and Tooru have been chosen to be Princesses…every time they have to perform their duties, Mikoto runs away….this could be problematic Episode 2 Otoya Hanazono has just transferred to Fujimoro Gakuen and is in Mikoto’s class. Mikoto attacks Tooru because he thinks he’s some girl called Catherine (bless him in his half asleep state, also a moment of silence for those pink pyjamas….thank you ) The princesses have their début and some draw thing , the winner was Otoya through some chain of events revealed that Tooru was lip syncing to a song, which pissed off the Princesses and they don’t like Otoya’s attitude, Shuuya asks Otoya why he did it….Otoya responds by saying “Something big is going to happen in this school…” Episode 3 The Princesses go on tv 🙂 Unfortunately there was some ‘electrical disturbance’, or was there? NO!….The Dark Princesses stole the broadcast! The Dark Princesses are: Otoya, Mori and Kurou. Episode 4 Otoya has decided to break down the Student Council and run the school. The New Student Council vs The Old Student Council. Because of the Dark Princesses new popularity the school has been split into Princesses Supporters and Dark Princesses supporters (Old Student council supporters and New student council supporters) The New Student Council has taken the computer club, newspaper club and broadcasting club…how will the Student Council and the Princesses get through this?!!?!! Only something happened that Otoya didn’t expect…a rift in Dark Princesses friendship …. o.O Episode 5 Mikoto sees an open door *literally not figuratively* Its the door to the basement, and the silly guy ends up locking himself in…. ayyy -.-” Mikoto sees Otoya, who was “taking a nap in a quiet place” until Mikoto showed up and made a lot of noise. They stay there for hours and hours because no one is around to save them 😦 Mikoto thinks he’s going to die in the basement…. lol Mikoto and Otoya have a ‘moment’ where Mikoto tries to understand Otoya. In the morning the door….unlocked itself?!!?!! o.O Episode 6 Things between Otoya and Mikoto haven’t changed. Mikoto thinks Otoya isnt such a bad guy…but Mikoto’s attitude annoys Toru and Yuujiro because they believe they’re in a war and Mikoto is sympathising with the enemy. Yuujiro and Toru leave Mikoto alone. Episode 7 a ‘Dangerous man comes to school – Haruka Kujouin. recruited by Shuuya to deal with the Dark Princesses, Haruka says he can do it in 1 month ;D Episode 8 Election day for the next Student Council President…. !! Shuuya against Otoya. Unfortunately Haruka wasnt playing fair.. Otoya reveals his true reasons for transfering, becoming a black princess and trying to run the school: Revenge on Shuuya. Episode 9 Its been 2 weeks since the election and and Shuuya has disappeared. Otoya tries to recruit Mikoto to join him. Mikoto is saved by Toru and Yuujiro, Mikoto apologises and everyone is friends again 😀 Mikoto, Toru and Yuujiro try to resurrect the Princesses…but first they need to steal back their costumes! Episode 10 The final Battle: There is a performance from the Dark Princesses and the Princesses. The night before Yuujiro decides to go and spy around the school. He then goes missing

Title: Suki tomo / スキトモ Release Date: 2007 Language: Japanese English Subs? – Yep [Image taken from here ] Cast: (actor – character)
Takumi Saito – Tomokazu Aoi
Hiroki Aiba – Yoshiki Saitou
Airi Komatsu – Misao Aoi
Basic Plot Summary:
Ooookay…
Tomokazu is a college boxer, in his final year in University, his bestfriend Yoshiki and his step-sister have always been supporting him. Little does he know both his friend and his sister have been harbouring secret feelings for him. Misao realises Yoshiki’s feelings and becomes jealous, believe he’s trying to steal her beloved brother from her.
One day, while Tomokazu is training for his big competition, Yoshiki, Misao, Misao’s friend and Yoshiki’s classmate visit… Tomokazu finds out exactly what everyone thinks of him.
My Thoughts:
*~WARNING!!!~*
May contain Spoilers!!!
And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!
Throughout the entire movie I was sat there trying to work out where I’d seen the guy who plays Yoshiki…at first I thought it might just be a friends that he looks like….THEN IT HIT ME!!!!
He’s the violinist that Takumi admires in Takumi-kun 1 – Shoshite, Harukaze ni Sasayaite!! Woo!
Anyways:
Now, I reaaaaally dont like one-sided love, I’ve said this countless times. But I could deal with this one…kinda. I was really hoping for Tomokazu to just….kiss Yoshiki. But that never happened! The only REASONABLY close piece of BL stuff that we got….was when Tomokazu knocked Yoshiki down and was on top of him, and I just found that a little bit awkward ehehe
So this is a VERY LIGHT Boys Love movie…in fact, the BL is so light….it might not exist at all
The movie was alright…as far as things go. I didn’t like the Misao character, honestly, sister loving the brother….it was a little weird. Especially at the beginning, when we had no idea WHATSOEVER that they are actually step brother and sister. The fact that they aren’t related makes everything…a little bit better. But still, I find it a bit strange.
Can we just take note of how attractive Takumi Saito is…!
He must have had to get into amazing shape for this movie…because all that running, and boxing is just….wow
Hiroki Aiba is really cute and has a fabulous jaw line.
With 2 lovely actors, it’s a shame nothing went down…ah well. The story was good, I liked how Yoshiki is always there for Tomokazu.
But despite all that, we are a Boys Love film blog, and even though the storyline was nice and the actors were fabulous…
I rate this movie:
3.5/10
Don’t get me wrong it was a good film…but on this love we favour BL quality and quantity – which this film really lacked
o.5 for Takumi Saito being hot, and Hiroki Aiba being in Takumi Kun movie They deserve the credit…I’m sorry!
Umm, just quickly:
I’m unsure of the correct English title but….
Suki = to like
Tomo = makes it certain
So, going by this…I believe the movie to be called “Of course I like you” or ‘It’s certain that I like you” or my personal favourite “I like you..duh!”
….oh I don’t know!!~!
Avaliable on YT!

This drama follows the lives of 4 vampires that live together in a mansion. Kiyoi, 100 year old vampire takes care of them all. Masakazu is a college student with a freakin’ awesome memory ahaha, Ageha and Makoto are both High school students.
They fight crime when the police are unable to do so. My Thoughts:
*~WARNING!!!~*
May contain Spoilers!!!
And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!
Ohh its such a good drama!
Whhhhy…?! Because it has Rakuto Tochihara in!
What’s not to like?! 4 really attractive guys living together in one huge ass house fighting crime….Perfection!
Admittedly….the ‘Boys Love’-ness is virtually non-existent.
Despite the fact that they are all incredibly close…nothing really happens between any other them… Ahh well!!!
But saying that there are some….undertones of Boys Love-ish-ness….but they are only undertones. We can just sit here and enjoy Rakuto Tochihara’s facetime 😀 Admittedly, that’s probably not what you guys are here for….well….we cant always have it all xD Its super cute!
Ageha is my favourite, interestingly that’s the character Rakuto Tochihara plays…hmm

Title: The King and the Clown / 왕의 남자 Release Date: 2005 Language: Korean English Subs? – Yep
Cast: (actor – character)
Kam Wu-seong – Jangsaeng
Lee Jun Ki – Gonggil
Jeong Jin-yeong – King Yeonsan
Kang Seong Yeon – Jang Noksu
Basic Plot Summary:
Jangsaeng and Gonggil are male street clowns, entertainers and performers. Their manager prostitutes the gorgeous Gonggil to rich customers…Jangsaeng is sickened by this. After Gonggil kills the managers in defence of Jangsaeng they run to Seoul, where they start another street performing group.
The group mocks the Royal Court (…the king and his new concubine Jang Noksu)…After they are arrested for treason, Jangsaeng makes a deal with Choseon, who turns out to be one of the kings servants: If they make the king laugh they wont be executed.
The king laughs…and makes them part of his court. The King later falls for the beautiful Gonggil, who he calls into his private chambers and asks him to perform finger puppet shows.
The king becomes more and more unstable – he ends up slaughtering a bunch of his concubines.
Jangsaeng asks Gonggil to leave with him and the group, before the king gets worse. The king reused to grant Gonggil his freedom.
Jang Noksu becomes enraged by the amount of attention the King has been giving Gonggil…
My Thoughts:
*~WARNING!!!~*
May contain Spoilers!!!
And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!
This movie was really good!
Not exactly a Boys Love movie…but it did have homosexual elements….like the relationship between Gonggil and Jangsaeng…or The Kings affection for Gonggil
The plot summary wasn’t exactly a FULL summary and it was kinda long too….if you want more…:
Jang Noksu tries to have Gonggil jailed…Jangsaeng takes the fall and is imprisoned.
Choseon secretly releases Jangsaeng, telling him to forget Gonggil and leave the palace but Jangsaeng ignores the advice and returns to walk his tightrope across the palace rooftops, mocking the King loudly. The king shoots arrows at him while Gonggil tries to stop him.
Jangsaeng falls and is cuaght, and has his eyes seared with a burning iron as punishment before being thrown into prison again.
Gonggil attempts to commit suicide, but his life is saved by the palace doctors. The king has Jangsaeng walk his tightrope blind. As Jangsaeng tells the story of his and Gonggil’s trails and tribulations while balancing the rope….Gonggil runs out to join him.
The ending is really lovely
The concubine…lady….woman…Jang Noksu is a bitch. I hate her.
The king is so crazy…my god
Gonggil is just gorgeous.
and Jangsaeng is amazing…uh I love him!
Okay, i think we’re done here!
Lee Jun Ki is such a beautiful person.. I think we need a moment of silence to appreciate this gorgeous human being………..okay, thank you!
I rate:
7/10 because its so good….but in terms of BL quality…4/10
I’m sorry the first few are so blurry….i had a problem when i was taking screencaps, so i used the video online ^^ but the 2nd part worked juuuuust fine xD

Release Date: 2008 Language: Korean (and French at times )
English Subs? – Yeaa!!!
Cast: (actor – character) Kim Jae Wook – Min Sun Woo Joo Ji Hoon – Kim Jin Hyuk Yoo Ah In – Yang Ki Beom Choi Ji Ho – Nam Soo Yeong Andy Gillet – Jean-Baptise
Basic Plot Summary:
Kim Jin Hyuk decided to open a cake shop…even though he cant stand them, he believes thousands of beautiful women will flood into his shop. He hires a talented patissier, Sun-Woo. Ex-boxer Ki-beom and his childhood friend/bodyguard SooYeong.
Although seemingly careless and happy, each of the four men have unforgettable past they are afraid to face, but their secrets slowly being to unravel… My Thoughts:
*~WARNING!!!~*
May contain Spoilers!!!
I love this movie!!! Sooooo much!!! I’ve seen it over and over again….little bit obsessive but….I DON’T CARE!
Ji-Hyuk was horrible to Sun-Woo when they were in high school…You dont throw cake at people, it’s just rude.
(Btw….Kim Jae Wook is GORGEOUS!!!!!!His hair ❤ A moment of silence for this beautiful man….okay thank you :D) I love it when Jin-Hyuk and Sun-Woo meet again 😀 Sun-Woo is just so damn attractive men become infatuated by him…he is a “Gay of Demonic Charm” I love that they didnt really recognise each other at first…and it took Sun-Woo longer to figure it out when he was the guy that had the crush!! Sun-Woo is so adorable when he has to serve those girls and he freaks out.
Even though this is in my list of Boys Love movies….it isn’t really based around a BL relationship, like the other ones. This movie focuses on this kidnapping thingy…which is related to Jin-Hyuk as he was kidnapped and forced cake when he was younger…this experience still haunts him. …In my heart I wished there was more focus on Sun-woo….oh well… Jean-Baptise sucks. How dare he hurt Sun-Woo!! My god i’m way too protective… Although I did appreciate ‘l’élément français’ I could practice my French ;D I like Ji-Hyuk’s attempt at trying to get Sun-Woo to stay…bless him, he’s so transparent 🙂 Its a really great movie! I rate 8.5 /10
Purely for the lacking in BL quality between Jin-Hyuk and Sun-Woo ;D and the 0.5 is because Kim Jae Wook is just so damn attractive!!!!
Screen caps: These are pretty much all of Jin-Hyuk and Sun-Woo :L
*~ SPOILERS ~*
For the record…This movie is based on the manga “Antique Bakery” (Seiyō Kottō Yōgashiten) Which has also been adapted into a Japanese drama.
The drama in my opinion isn’t that great….there Ono (who in the Korean movie is Sun-Woo) isn’t gay..he’s a straight guy who just cant talk to women…
Kinda disappointing.
I also found the anime version to be disappointing. For me, the korean film version is the best!~
