I didn't recognize the actor Wei Lie Jin at all, who plays one of the main roles in the tender series DNA Says Love You, which we have here translated into Czech. In this short, he plays a boy who falls in love with a lifeguard and has to deal with his feelings. I also see a Taiwanese aborigine (lifeguard Da Han) in the film for the first time. However, the sexual awakening is without romance in this short, as the lifeguard is straight and the story revolves mainly around the main character and his self-discovery of his own orientation, falling in love and how to cope with all of this under the supervision of his strict father, with whom he runs a Chinese medicine and acupuncture practice. In addition, the film ends without salt, without fat for the audience who will expect a fairy tale ending, but the very end, when Yun Wu swims away from the place where he was drowning at the beginning, symbolically meant for me that he realized his self, began to respect himself and continues strengthened into his next young life, and that's what I appreciate about the film, even if the project doesn't have a top ten rating.

When I watched the first time, I found the short more and more stupid, stupid to the point where it was almost funny and constantly jumping between drama, comedy and stupidity. But when I thought about that story, read a review on MDL, I wondered why his classmate was so pointlessly explaining quantum mechanics using the example of a cat in a box. Who has ever encountered, seen, read or studied this, when a particle is thrown at an obstacle and it avoids it from above and below, it simply develops, always the way we look at the matter ... so I thought the conclusion was GENIUS and I would agree with the opinion that a lot of viewers don't have time to perceive it precisely because it is a very complex field of science, not for us "average viewers" and I could be wrong, but maybe Ji Ho didn't leave the two of them with that in the very end that the friend got what he wanted, but that he FINALLY LEARNED THE MATERIAL FOR THE NEXT EXAM* ("... The cat can be both alive and dead. We can only decide when we open the box ourselves and see what the reality is. Then it will depend on how the observer reacts. According to the reaction of the observer ... it will become reality...")*

The story of this sad comedy was probably not only very strong for me, and the end of the film only confirmed it for me, which is also proven by the three wins and a large number of nominations of this film at film festivals, but ...
The way I'm used to trances mainly from RuPaul's competitions (and that there are still many different kinds of competitions), but mostly good to excellent professionals perform there. Filipinos, on the other hand, are known in their film projects for often horrible, mocking, grinning trans people, and actually these people do not have a good reputation in the audience world, and I was a bit bothered by the second roles of "miracles" of the two main characters Mark and John, otherwise two well-known and excellent and sympathetic Filipinos actors (Guzmán+Gamboa), when I didn't believe their "hands" and femininity for an inch and these scenes had a rather repulsive effect on me. Damage.

A different film, it would fit on the boards that mean the world, a film about two characters and a constant conversation, a chamber piece where, after a bland beginning, when the viewer does not know what to expect, it develops into a cleverly written story full of surprises and tension, and both actors , both Elijas and Romnick proved that they can be trusted, they played it convincingly. Interesting...

Film jiný, hodil by se na prkna, co znamenají svět, film o dvou postavách a neustálé konverzaci, komorní kousek, kdy po nevýrazném začátku, kdy divák neví, co má očekávat, se rozvine v chytře napsaný přiběh plný překvapení a napětí a oba herci, Elijas i Romnick dokázali, že se jim dá věřit, zahráli to přesvědčivě. Zajímavé ...

Subtle, short, predictable, simple, but it had that "something" at least in part, and I didn't mind at all that Day is 9 years older than Mem. The boys especially struggled with the kissing. The way Day was in that icy lake almost shaking with the cold and his nipples were like antennae from the cold made me smile.... ?

Jemné, krátké, předvídatelné, jednoduché, ale to "něco" to v sobě alespoň zčásti mělo a vůbec mi nevadilo, že Day je od Mema o 9 let starší. Chlapci bojovali především s tím líbáním. Úsměv mi vykouzlilo na tváři to, jak byl Day v tom ledovém jezírku, málem se roztřepal chladem a bradavky měl ze zimy jako antény .... ?

I liked the short precisely because it was informative, believable, true, it didn't play on anything, and because the creators filmed it just like that and not otherwise. That's the Korean characteristic - to be yourself. Many viewers will not like this short film and will look for any flaw to justify their rating or even disappointment. It's a forgotten work of cinema over ten years old and underrated, and it gave me exactly what I expected.


Mě se kraťas líbil právě proto, že byl vypovídací, uvěřitelný, pravdivý, na nic si nehrál a že jej tvůrci natočili právě tak a ne jinak. To je právě ta korejská vlastnost - být sami sebou. Řadě diváků tento krátký film nesedne a budou hledat kdejakou chybku, aby ospravedlnili své hodnocení či dokonce zklamání. Je to zapomenuté filmové dílo přes deset let staré a málo hodnocené a mě přesně dalo to, co jsem čekal.

Scud is a concept for me, originality, and we have several of his creations here, of which I was most interested in Permanent Residence and partially Amphetamine. But this was seriously a ride ... and as usual pre-selected nice actors, nudity, erotica. Crazy story. The spirit of the "curious person in the shower" gradually visits three other Asian countries, even Spain, and one of the characters is his trans sister. Pleasantly chaotic, light, and the only unpleasant point for me was the bodyshop, I would completely throw it out of the story, that's why I put three minus points for the story and the film in second place behind Permanent Residence in Scuda. Viewers with an open mind will appreciate the film rather with insight and light comedy...

This short pinoy film told me what he had. Viewers who can and understand the Philippine production with all its mistakes and missteps will certainly be interested in the fact that the farmer after the loss of his beloved wife went completely crazy and the originally antagonistic relationship between the farmer and the activist became dull and secondary. Both the main protagonists cut these roles two years before playing the main characters in Lodi. I do not recommend this short to most viewers, especially critical ones, don't waste your time.


Tento krátký pinoy film mi sdělil, co měl. Pro diváky, co mohou a rozumí filipínské produkci se všemi jejími chybami a přehmaty, jistě zaujme to, že farmář po ztrátě své milované ženy se dočista zbláznil a původne antagonní vztah farmíř versus aktivista vyšumněl a byl podružný. Oba hlavní protagonisté si střihli tyto role dva roky předtím, než si zahráli hlavní postavy ve filmu Lodi, který zde máme přeložen do cz. Tento kraťas nedoporučuji většině diváků, hlavně těm kritickým, neztrácejte čas.

In the world of men who like men, there is a certain subset of those who are slightly twisted, very twisted, effeminate, they are also called aunties in the Czech Republic and in other ways, I am not referring to another group of those who are transvestites or a group of transsexuals . And the main character Bew (actor Mark Chutawuth) also belongs to this group of aunts, and I thought right at the beginning hmm ... that's not going to be for me, that's a group of people I'm not looking for. But Mark, who from now on I refer to as Mr. Actor, led me astray and was so funny and together with the character of the girl Note, but also with the elderly aunt at work (he was even married and the wife didn't mind ?) together with the creators according to the real they set up the story so well, lightheartedly, gently and with nobility, that I had fun many times, especially in the second episode. How Mark, who isn't actually gay or an aunt, was able to play it is unbelievable. The story as such is not that complicated and it is true that there are many aunties in the field of modeling, design, makeup, etc., but overall everything was presented very casually to the fact that society in practically all countries is still very cruel to sexual minorities. Mostly in this field of film projects I encounter exaggeration, piquancy, grimaces, mockery, both in Western productions and in Assisi, which is why I end up appreciating this Club Friday season 10 series a lot. And in addition, my Darling actor Jam from To Sir With Love and Laws of Attraction will also appear in one of the episodes...

That it's one of the best series, there's no question about it and that's where my rating comes from, I respect all those viewers who experienced it to the fullest (and that's what it's all about) and shed hectoliters of tears worldwide, because this series hit a large part of the world of BL viewers , but I'll take a few digs anyway, don't take me too seriously.
I had a lot of fun with the opposites in the first episode. The brawler and brawler, Mok, a stubborn debt-ridden slob, who has also been in prison, with a girlfriend and, as a contrast, Day, a stubborn adult child, perhaps spoiled by his mother and a little spoiled, and in the next episode, a very fast incomprehensible turn ... From a wolf, he became a lamb with a whip, from a greased up hetero mechanic to a patient nurse in love with a young man, and Day's character suddenly changed quite a bit as well. Here, I would have liked more time for mutual "learning", grinding the edges of the characters, instead of the fact that in the next episodes the time was increased with cotton wool such as walking, cooking, running and other more or less lengthening scenes, and the plot stood a lot except for the matter with August. then everything will return to the first plan, counting on the assumption that the audience will be wistfully talking about how poor Day is blind over the slow-moving plot ... and they would go crazy with tons of snotty tissues and tears in their eyes even if it was filmed Day going to the bathroom to poop and unable to find toilet paper.
On the other hand, the blindness was played very nicely and convincingly by Day, and kudos to the creators for a very tasteful and sensitive portrayal of a blind person, I mean it quite seriously and now again a little lightly - so nice that after the first eye surgery, the instrumentalist nurses apparently blew through his bandage hair dryer and hair straightener. But for a long time, I didn't believe Daya actually had feelings for Moka. Mok, that's a chapter in itself, it's cuteness in itself. I liked the character of Phojai (but also some other characters in the series), no hysterical and heart-wrenching scenes like how her partner "turned gay" and doesn't love her anymore. In ep.11, I was turned off by the predictable "artificial" breakup, instead of Day proving to his mom, who has to ask when he can fart, while he is a disabled but grown-up guy, how much he loves Mok and that he could leave with him despite his mother's ban and Mok, his love, would be able to take care of him even without his mother's money. And with Mok banging against the wall, that was a scene where I couldn't believe Mok and laughed out loud with rage at how they artificially lengthened it to make the last episode even sweeter. What bothered me the most about this series, which caught the attention of so many viewers, including me (!), was the incredibly fast transformation of Moka in the second and third episodes, the somewhat long-winded and sentimental slowness of the first plan, and above all the separation for a few years, I really hate that in Asian projects, and also that a relationship based on falling in love has to be worked on in order to grow into lasting love, and that requires an agreement, mutual respect, sanding the edges and not immediately insisting on a breakup (in that case, the one who insists on a breakup cannot to love the other to the bottom of the soul and to seek a compromise), that's why I can't give the story a ten.

Originally a strange Hong Kong film about a fulfilled, partially fulfilled or unfulfilled life. Deliberately (?) melted edge between love, friendship, relationship, sex, nice bodies, a bit of Asian nudity (you mean a huge bunch of hair with a little camp girl), passing the plot slowly and yet not losing its distinct depth, evoking a reality in me as if from a part of my life and the life of many others ... just according to me and my experience, even open-minded gays and straights can understand each other even in bed, and the subtitles, if they were two lines, sometimes flashed by so quickly that I couldn't finish reading. The film will remain in my soul for a long time

Originálně zvláštní hongkongský film o naplněném, částečně naplněném či nenaplněném žítí. Záměrně (?) roztavená hrana mezi láskou, přátelstvím, vztahem, sexem, hezká těla, trochu asijské nahoty (rozuměj obrovský houf chlupů s malým camprlíčkem), ubíhající dějově pomalu a přesto neztrácející svou výraznou hloubku, ve mě vyvolávající reálnost jakoby z části z mého života i života mnohých jiných ... jen dle mě a mých zkušeností si i gay a hetero otevřené mysli mohou rozumět i v posteli a titulky, pokud byly dvouřádkové, se tam někdy tak rychle mihly, že jsem nestačil dočíst. Film zůstane dlouho v mé duš

I'm still wondering what it was actually supposed to be ... for me an almost meaningless short, with the first "jumping on the trampoline" love scene and the reluctance to give the second one at least a kiss. Unfortunately, I have to rate slightly below average, even though it's Taiwan, it didn't give me anything ... and thanks to Nioba for the effort and the translation

Doteď přemýšlím, co to vlastně mělo být ... pro mě téměř nicneříkající kraťas, s první milostnou scénou "skákání po trampolíně" a nechutenstvím dát tomu druhému alespoň pusinku. Bohužel, musím hodnotit mírně podprůměrně, i když je to Taiwan, nic mi to nedalo ... a díky Niobě za snahu a překlad

The film, which became a blockbuster in Japanese cinemas in its time, is really very different, it is a look at the Japanese society of that time and for many viewers, including me, surprising, even though I am familiar with Japanese works. The first two or three scenes on the beach are enough. For me, the best of the evaluation criteria is clearly a story that in many passages overcame the comic component, which disappeared, but sometimes, on the contrary, slipped into farcicality, forced laughter, a brawl ala ragdoll kindergarten. But the positives prevail. Simply Japan ... and again a little different.

Film, který se ve své době stal trhákem v japonských kinech je opravdu hodně jiný, je to pohled na japonskou společnost tehdejší doby a pro mnohého diváka, i pro mě, překvapivý, ač jsem obeznámen s japonskou tvorbou. Stačí první dvě tři scény na pláži. Pro mě je jednoznačně nejlepší z kritérií hodnocení příběh, který přebil v mnohých pasážích komickou složku, která zanikla, ale někdy naopak sklouzla až do fraškovitosti, nucený smích, rvačka ala hadra školka. Převažují ale pozitiva. Prostě Japonsko ... a zase trochu jiné.

I didn't quite understand why the film was in black and white. Two friends, when for a certain part of their lives they are destined to share one small apartment of the artistically gifted Tod. Rošťák Hao almost bewitched me, and the message of the film, especially at the end, is clear, even though I had doubts the whole time, which I won't reveal. Again, something a little different from what we are used to in Taiwan.


Moc jsem nepochopil, proč je ten film černobílý. Dva přátelé, kdy určitý výsek života je jim souzen sdílet jeden malý byt umělecky nadaného Toda. Rošťák Hao mě téměř učaroval a sdělení snímku, především v závěru, je jasné, i když jsem celou dobu byl na pochybách, které neprozradím. Zase trošku něco jiného, než jsme na Taiwan zvyklí.
