Hello Stranger Episode 7

Two Stars

the dialogue at the start and the double means behind it was hilariously ironic. and yeah i know i'm being mean - but Mico asking for this sh*t and his treating Xavier as the bad-guy when he's the one that needs to stop and reassess his behavior, attitude and actions - frustrating to watch - *****************************************************************************************heck the whole presentation was a second, double meaning filled dialogue - where Again(!) Xavier offer's his heart to Mico on a platter, only for it to get stomped on. as Mico so self-involved, almost enjoying wallowing in pain. that he rather keep playing the aggrieved party - while stabbing at Xavier's heart. and then he has the balls to go bad mouth him to his friends?!? like plz - if i was one of them, i would tell him he should just stop(!) with the temper-tantrum and face reality. the bad-guy is he, himself. so if he wants to 'curse someone out' - it's himself. but they too good a group of people (too kind, tooooo understanding) that just let him vent and then gave him advise - which i doubt will amount to much, as Mico's type needs a reality check, not soothing understanding words - he in the Wrong!!! there no ifs, ands, or buts in this situation. ***********************************heck even worse his cowardice has left a bleedin causality behind - one that is all alone - he doesn't have friend or support group, he can lean on - this makes everything twice as infuriating. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************from the start didn't like Mico, felt bad for him with his family situation, but didn't like his personality - too self involved to really care about others. the previous ep and this one strengthen my dislike of him... he so busy throwing a pity party for himself, he can't see - heck doesn't care to see, how he is hurting Xavier - he ghosted him the sec he got back with his ex - a move Mico "the genius" suggested. which thinking about it, Xavier really had no other go then to post that song online after the response he got from Mico - if he didn't, he would be caught in a lie and then again have to face Mico ridicule and scorn - so what other option did he have?!? so Mico continually treating him like dirt and acting like he the one hurt, making me see red. as even if he was hurt, he had no right to just ignore a person who considered him a friend without some explanation (one that told him time and again "i'm all alone"). so that was a b*tch move (so will be majorly p*ssed if Xavier come's a wooing - cause Mico has some major redeeming/begging/pleading to do, after the way he hurt Xavier). ****************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************on a positive note - Crystal surprised me, as self-centered as she is (and even though her reasoning/suggestion was self serving) her offer for Xavier to "take time figuring out what he wants" - cause she felt they both were at a different place, was very good of her. considering her "me me me" attitude to date. guess she also matured enough to understand that Xavier is important to her and she can't treat him like dirt. so her turning considerate was a total plus point in this ep -

Hello Stranger (2020) Episode 7: Hello, Truth!

Episode 7: Hello, Truth! had nicely set-up the finale. This episode put to a close the school requirement of interpreting and dramatizing Benilda S. Santos' poem "Sa Kasintahang Nilimot Na." I will miss Miss Tina Moran -- she's definitely THE mood! The dramatization scene perfectly showcased JC's acting. In terms of acting, this is JC's strongest episode yet. On the other hand, Tony, undoubtedly the most popular Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) actor, was quite underwhelming in the dramatization scene. He was ok though during the opening scene when he, JC, and Gillian admirably portrayed the awkwardness of the situation. Since the school requirement's done, what's left needing closure are the relationships and characterizations in this series. Will XavMi end up together? How will Crystal be treated? Will KaiSeth's relationship show more progress? And will Junjun have his own spin-off series entitled "Hello, Junjun!"? Lol. We'll have to wait a bit longer for the finale which was rescheduled to August 16 (advanced screening) and August 19 (regular airing) instead of August 12. By the way, what do you think will happen on August 12?
