A Profoundly Poignant Story
This is a beautiful and stunning (short) BL series. Of course, there are some flaws with its story and production, but they did not decrease from its overall theme or intensity of the story. It is a story about a friendship that happens by serendipitous (extraordinary if you will) means. That is the point to this story, really. So, this story resonated deeply with me as an intense love story that was never meant to be fulfilled in its corporeal form. In every sense of the word, they were a couple deeply in love, no matter how short their time together was. Whether this was the message or not, I was deeply and profoundly moved by this story that I was left in tears. (My husband had to console me). Those who did not find this story to their liking or gave it poor ratings, did not see its big picture or its impact. It indeed captured love for a different realm.

need to watch
hi everyone I just want to say that this is a must watch. I went into this BL blind like I do most of the time and I was not disappointed. it kept me hooked the whole time. felt that I needed to know where the story of these two caterers were going to end. I found myself so invested in there ending and that is why I love this and all BL'S. I get so bored with just watching regular TV or shows and movies but when i watch BL's i can feel the passion and realness in what they poetry to the people that watch them .when i watch them i can feel that they want to let the people that watch BL's know and feel that people and not alone and that you don't have to feel that no matter what you are going throw that there is a depicting of every facet of life and you can find your story in them and you are not alone in this life .Was this review helpful to you?

Extra
Yh Okay now many people are saying it is not a must watch but I think different, after all every story deserves an audience. I agree it may be day moving, confusing and maybe a little too much. But when I watched it I was rather moved l, if you happen to be a movie geek like I am you will understand the story and come to love because even though the director does not explain to use some is what is going on, but we will love this series of we all give it a chance. At first I had my doubts but when I told myself you can go on. I did. And I did see why it was titled extraordinary there is an extra kick in there though. I hope others can view it alsoWas this review helpful to you?

My extraordinary
A princípio gostaria de dizer que boa parte da minha frustração com essa série, foi justamente por ela ter sido muito aguardada. Isso num cenário onde as Filipinas ainda estavam mergulhando no mundo BL, por isso essa série, apesar de não ser uma das melhores produções, está longe de ser a pior.A atuação do elenco é apenas razoável. A série é ambientada na universidade e na casa de Ken, mas tem locações externas que proporcionam uma bela fotografia. Outro detalhe que gostei muito foi a trilha sonora.
Com relação a história, num primeiro momento fiquei chocada com o final, pois detesto finais tristes. Mas depois de uma análise mais aprofundada percebi que essa série traz uma crítica social importante, contra o preconceito e a hipocrisia da sociedade. Sandee num ato de ciúmes, procurou a mãe de Ken e deu a entender que ele e Shake eram mais que amigos, esse já foi um ato discriminatório, pois para ela ele estava fazendo algo muito errado, e a reação da mãe foi ainda pior... nem após as mortes deles, elas conseguiram se declarar culpadas, e a justificativa de ambas para causarem tudo isso, foi ciúmes de mãe e amiga... depois deles mortos, elas agora aceitam o relacionamento que não iam permitir que eles vivessem se tivessem sobrevivido. É interessante problematizar essas ações, fazer com que as pessoas reflitam sobre o que o seu preconceito e intolerância podem causar na vida dos outros, por isso eu indico a série, mas que vcs assistam com a mente aberta para entender a mensagem que ela passa.
