O Efeito (2019)

the story 8/10
talking about how someone that is close to you can rape you, . this is about the gay issue. when man rape his friend. the beginning the middle the resulte.

Study show it's more common that rapist are usually the friend or lover,someon close. less strangers, i don't know why usually there aren't a lot of films on this subject, esspecially not graphic like this ,
when you see the development and how it's happen, i guess it's because peoplpe are afraid and don't want to get into their heads that this rapist could be among them . it's frightening.

the acting is not so good, esspecially of James, he is so bad that is annoying, talking slow...slow so slowww, he is the main ead but they choose someone that can not deliver the idea...the emotions. nothing ...you can't feel sad you cant feel empaty when you watch him, you even like more the rapist because you can understand what he is thinking, what his family doing to him, why he is so agressive, buut James is bland, pocker face, you don't understand what he is thinking, more disturbing they choose someone that look way too young, maybe it's hint that it's happen to younger targets, i guess it's happen a lot in the gay community, older man take advantage of younger teens...good example is kevin spacey, he take advantage of teens actors, and even not feel guilty, he grew up in violent home, and he look from outside talent samrt , nice person- just perfect! it's very similar to P'King character.

the director doesn't know the job, he doesn't deliver the emotion, if it's drama it's more difficault than comedy or fluffy bl, you need to invest more on the actir, filming ...and nothing special here.

Music- very very bad, one of the worst, it's remind me the singer of other bl, i think it's the same annoying singer all the time , again he doesn't fit for the general feeling of the drama- it's suppose to be unique, not bland.

rewatch value- 0- not again, and even regret watching at first place.


if you like fluffy bl or/ deep hight quality drama you shoud skip it.

This definitely had an EFFECT on me

- TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS SERIES: Rape, Bullying, Harassment, Suicide Attempt, Blood and Abuse -

Okay, this is a 3 episode series, but this did hurt me; I am glad I watched it because it's very well written and executed greatly. I cried as this series hit close to home, and I felt bad for Shin. I knew what I was going into when I started but was not prepared to see it with my eyes. You will be taken aback if you do not know what this series is about. This series shows you the power of social media and how people react in certain situations. You see it a lot in high school, but to see it in university is wild because it's crazy that adults still want to hurt others instead of just ignoring the problems and moving on but this does happen in real life so I'm thankful we get to see a BL that implements these types of topics and it was done well that it wasn't tasteless or bad.

It started cute in episode 1 and half of episode 2, aside from P'Man | When Bright and Pramote held hands, I screamed. Since the library scene when they were reading and the way they looked at each other, excuse me -BUTTERFLIES-

Shin admired Keng and was happy to get attention from him. Poor Shin didn't even know if he was gay or not yet; he just wanted to be Keng's friend because he liked him as a person. Keng was honestly annoyed that he got out, and his parents didn't understand him.

The fact that Keng hurt (R) Shin because he wanted to give him space and cared about Keng so much was wild. Keng dragged Shin around his house, beating him to death. It was so hard to see, and the fact that Shin knew what Keng was doing when he started unbuckling his pants was so heartbreaking because he didn't have any more energy to fight back. After all, he was already beaten, and the audacity that Keng had to lay in the bed with Shin and gaslight him into making it sound like it was Shin's fault, no. -All I could think about was, "Where are Shin's parents?!"

Thankfully, Shin has Pramote and Bright. They found him and helped him after he got away from Keng. I was also so happy that Shin told them who did that to him because usually, the victim doesn't want to talk about it, and sometimes, it goes unknown. Both boys were there for Shin when he was feeling so bad about himself afterward. It was so refreshing to see that they stayed friends, and even his mom got to see that he has two really good friends.

I am also happy that Shin's parents didn't get mad at him, berate him, or make him feel anymore less than he already does, his father was ready to go to war for Shin and that is so beautiful to see his parents' support Shin and making sure he is taken care of.

At the part where Keng corners Shin in the walkway and won't leave him alone and plays him the fucking clip of what he did to him, I had to turn it off for a second and cry because what the hell? Shin has a panic attack/nervous breakdown and throws up and pees himself because he's so scared of Keng, and Keng has the nerve to ask what is wrong with him. I'm so glad his friends were there to help him and Bright punched Keng, I was like "YES!"

The fact that Keng's parents didn't beat kengs ass for hurting Shin but instead offered money is so crazy to me, but unfortunately, that happens in real life too. I wish Shin's dad would've gone across the table and beat all their asses.

When he asked his mom why she couldn't let him die and the hurt on her face, again I had to pause it and cry.

I don't know what the hell the end was, and we were robbed of answers. On a lighter note, someone tell me why Sood and Top aren't in another BL series together.
