Boys' Lockdown Episode 1 Reactions
Like most Filipino (Pinoy) boys’ love (BL) series, Boys’ Lockdown was also contextualized during the Philippines’ enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main plot/storyline seemed simple -- a chance meeting between two boys who eventually fall in love with each other. It’s cute, it’s light, and it’s something you’d want to watch when you just want to relax and unwind. On Episode 1: Essential Errands, there were a few cheesy lines but the dialogues were generally natural -- at least for middle to upper class Pinoys. Both Ali and Alec were adorable. Both were really cute and endearing. I’m excited to see how their chemistry unfolds on succeeding episodes. Acting wasn’t spectacular but was largely good. The two boys can act. The supporting cast members were also mostly ok. Even though his character was just reading romance novels, Ivoy looked so… manly, lol! I love Macoy’s special participation and of course, Laksa -- My Day’s Chukchuk has some competition on who’s the cutest Pinoy BL series dog, lol! Production design, cinematography, musical scoring, and editing were all good. Actually, everything’s pretty clean. The OST “Home” by Reese Lansangan was also ok. All in all, Episode 1 was a solid premiere episode. Given the preview, I’m excited for next week’s episode!
