Heart Break Mountain (2021)

Strangest BL I've ever seen. But not unwatchable.

This was better than the previous series the crew produced - it was insane, but entertaining. I'm not quite sure if it's supposed to be a comedy, or if it just ended up that way. I think it's a light-hearted horror/supernatural BL?

The acting is not great, but it's good enough for the concept, which is something new, for sure - but a bit repetitive.

They've really got to improve the editing. Considering the scenes were static, there shouldn't be obvious shifts to a different take. Also, if a guy is walking down a hill, you can just show if for a few seconds - you don't have to show him walking ALL the way down, although if that was supposed to be comical with the intense evil-sounding music playing in the background, it worked. In general the shots are too long, and it robs the action of its momentum.

For example, it is film "vocabulary" to have people under enchantment walk slowly. Usually in very old movies - nowadays even zombies are really fast. Another way that is often shown is by making the character's eyes turn red. But you don't have to do both. There is a LOT of people with red eyes walking slowly in this (and the contacts were making the poor short hot guy cry - that must have been painful). Why not have their eyes turn red and just walk normally?

The fairy using magic scene was way too long - we get it. about 5 seconds suffices to make the point.

Anyway, I did have fun watching it, but it won't be for everyone. You'll know if you like it or not in the first episode, so if you're in the mood for something insane, give it a shot.
