Playboyy (2023)

Poor production choices let down what could have been a gripping gritty mystery

I tried really hard to carry on watching this show.

Some of the sex scenes were alright, the ones I didn't care for I just skipped or paid half attention to. A couple were great. You can tell the actors are trying their best for the most part - the director and everything else are failing them substantially.

The biggest issue I have is that the main plot line of the disappearance of Nant isnt very well written. When the investigations happen they either go nowhere (like the party?), or happen suddenly with all the motivation or reasoning for the characters chosing to follow that route of investigation completely skipped over.

I enjoy a mystery show and am left sorely disappointed by the ham handedness of the writing and production choices.

Another gripe I have and the reason the sex scenes are pretty skippable is that I don't think most of the characters actually enjoy them? It seems like the kinks were written by people with a distaste for them, who want to portray them as inherently 'wrong'.

I understand that they're trying to showcase some of the realities of sex work especially somewhere where it's criminalised, but it doesn't need up to 14 hours of sexual violence to showcase it. At that point it just feels like the reason some self-gratification being sought by the production team.

Maybe it's changed in the subsequent episodes since I dropped it but this would have been better as a 3 hour movie with way fewer couples. I'm going to continue reading spoilers for the show so I can find out what happened to Nant in the end but I'm not wasting another 7 hours of my life when I know most of it will be filler.

Wtf..??

So, this review is probably gonna be kinda off since I only watched one episode. I don't remember the plot I only remember and know that pretty much 95% of the episode was pure sex and I was embarrassed for the characters. I really love how the actors were able to do that scenes without laughing their ass off. Of the plot I guess someone disappeared and they were supposed to figure out where he was. However the series is only there for the sex. That's not how you catch proper public, unless u wanna catch the girls fetishizing gay men. So yeah as a gay man I really hate this, I could watch better porn on other sites if I wanted to.

I will Fangirl Alone IDC

For me this show IS all about sex BUT that means every aspect. All the different forms of sex, sex work, sexual relationships with others, peoples kinks. Seeing how people treat sex and what people do to make money to survive. I am very interested in seeing who explores what and what makes each of our main characters dick twitch. If you're not interested in any of those things than I can see why you wouldn't enjoy it and didn't look deeper than the sex scenes. So many watchers remind me of someone who watched a how to make a porno documentary, while they hate porn.

People's sexual interests are very fascinating, Zouey has me super curious about what exactly gets him off and also WHY he is that way.

This isn't your normal BL show and if you're looking for hot sex scenes instead of maybe messy realistic sex scenes, this probably won't be for you. The first episode may have lacked plot but it DID seem like a good character study and it did begin a plot that I think is going to be very interesting.

I am very excited to see them dive in deep to find out where their missing friend is, but even just watching them and what drives them, is good enough already. First is also my favorite little horny shit character.

Side note: I do agree the acting is a bit cringe, but I think they're doing pretty well for actors portraying something that isn't exactly the most comfortable thing to film in front of a bunch of people.

I can't!

I like the idea but the execution is really bad. I am real lenient when it comes to acting. I understand BL usually has rookie but this show is really hard to watch. I must say some of the fetish are quite interesting, quite refreshing concept but i feel NOTHING.

The execution of the scenes, the acting or expression or emotions are really bad. Plus, I am so confused with who is who and what's happening even after 2 episodes lol

Also, the guys aren't all that cute or hot for a show called Playboy...

Maybe its just me, but boy...I guess show like KP or only friends have set the standard too high lol

I cant call this garbage, because I think garbage would be insulted by that

This is one of the most ugliest, horniest and thinnest plot that I have EVER come across in my entire journey as a fijoushi. Absolutely no plot. The characters are horny all the time. I mean it, they are horny ALL the time. I dont think that is physically possible but that's a thought to be pursued for yet another day.

I started watching the first episode where the first 20 minutes was either about guys jerking off, talking ablout sex or doing sex. Literally, they did this for 20 minutes. of course with 3 minute scenes here and there that make you feel like there is a plot, but naah, its just a bait for them to showcase more sex or sexual-connoted scenes.

you feel like you are watching porn at some point - some scenes are so bloody unrealistic that you wonder if the screenwriter was horny and decided to put all his fantasies to the written word and publish it as a script. Really, the Kama Sutra does a gross disservice to its image as a sex book. I think this series really provides good competition.

please consider this situation. you want to ask directions to a stranger ( a complete, random, unkno stranger, mind you). Even if you were a model ( and taking into consideration the stereotype that models are generally promiscuous, even though they might not be IRL ) would you go and stand so close to a stranger that you could smell what he ate for lunch, just so you could know directions??
What did I tell you?
Porn.

Let me give you another instance. One of the scenes open with the brother feeling bad about his lost brother. Its truly an emotional scene yeah?? you might expect the following scenes to be filled with tears, friends hugging him for comfort, words of love, longing (platonically of course) for his brother, and even if it isnt THAT emotional atleast scenes that truly cement his relationship with his brother and make us feel - oh yeah, this dude really loves his brother.
That's what any sane person would expect right?
Wrong.
What actually follows, is dudes discussing what helps them jerk off.
For one its underwear (which is really gross btw), for the other is 2D anime and so on.

So, if anyone is looking for a class "How to turn really nice heartwarming moments into horny, sex-oriented shit" please refer to this great masterpiece called "PlayBoyy".

I mean, let me be clear. I am not a fictional snob. I really dont mind explicit scenes. But you need to have a basic story plot for me to even be hooked you know?? Sex can be used to fill gaps that you cant fill no matter how much you rack your brains for, but sex alone cannot be a story.

I gave this story 1, cause they didnt allow me to give zero. I think, in retrospect, even a zero is too much of an award for this piece of sex trash.

It was so bad I deleted gagaoolala

Im normally pretty longwinded in reviews, especially if I didnt like the series, but for once, i have not shit to say. I didnt even make it though episode one. I figured it was going to be NC scene heavy, but never in a million years did I expect every NC scene to feel awkward, random, and kinda forced/fake 🙃 this was a no.

Oh theres a character minimum limit jfc,ok uh
From what i got between all the jacking off and horny people trying to fuck everything with legs, their friend dissappeared and no one gives enough of a fuck to report that and instead call an escort dressed up like a cop to take their friends mind off the other one disappearing???? Ok sure. Being a virgin is aparently the crime of all crimes to this group so lets have some weird consent issues for 200. Ok bet. BL writers must think fans are famished because why are we holding a stare with no words for 10+ seconds??? I literally thought something happened to the app. Christ i just wanna forget I watched any of this so hopefully this is 500 words.
