The Tale of Tail - Pinoy BL

[kevvoi]

I am not quite sure what to make of this one - Asterisk Entertainment (which has produced Meet My Angel and My Extraordinary) has hired Jodi Garcia (the director of Amore and The Shore for Star Digital Network). His second project after Meet My Angel, will be The Tale of Tail, which Asterisk is promoting as the first Fantasy BL - it is supposed to come out this summer. A first trailer was posted (without subs):



The scenery looks gorgeous with some decent underwater filming. The merman costume? (or is it CGI?) looks a bit sad. Unfortunately, everything is shot at such a distance, that it is hard to tell who is actually acting in this one - though Asterisk describes them as "2 of the newest and freshest faces in BL".

I think this is one of three new productions that are going to feature mermen, but I've totally forgotten where I read that now. [Racks brain... ] If I remember it right the others are called Fairy Tail Romance and The Merman Tail. 

Although I'm not really enamoured by the fact this will be directed be Jodi Garcia, I have to admit some of his beach and sunset scenes in The Shore were impressively shot, and I'm enjoying Meet My Angel but I think that's being carried totally by Kaleb Ong and his ability to convey his character's grief, loneliness and general desperation very effectively.

Seems like Acquired Films, Asterisk's partner in this production have an English subbed version of the teaser:
