from the hint's Ronin be dropping, think we all knew he was gay - get he never felt he could confide in that lot - not surprising as he more the friend that tagged along (that's the feel u get, with the whole group dynamic). but donno and maybe just over thinking - but have a bad feeling about the guy Ronin's dating. the bit that's bothering me, the couple that have been together for ages, Otep and Tau - why it always seem like Otep uncomfortable with any show's of PDA (ironically that all take place in private)?!? i don't need them to "get it on" in every scene (that's why that kiss was surprising in the previous ep, not only cause it felt normal and sweet, but it came from Otep). who would visibly cringes anytime Tau try's to get handsy with him - which them being in a long time relationship, just comes off weird. plus who doesn't want to cuddle and just touch their loved one?!? one u just made-up with, after a break-up, misunderstanding - let alone being apart for almost a 1yr. shouldn't they be closer?!? more affectionate? and to make things clear - Not talking sex -

In Between (2020) Episode 6: Simula

In my most recent episode review of My Day, I applauded the series for featuring a Filipino Visayan language; and now comes In Between which did the same in its Episode 6: Simula. Having at least two Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series showcasing a Filipino language other than the Filipino Tagalog language is a contribution to recognizing diversity in the Philippines. But that's not even the best part of this episode. The best parts of this episode were the cheesy yet cute and sweet moments between Tau and Otep and between Nin and Makisig. Another good scene was Tau and Otep's phone conversation with Otep's supportive parents. This episode really felt like a new beginning given last week's resolution of the conflict between Tau and Otep and this week's introduction of Nin and Makisig's relationship. This was a good episode with nothing much to frown about (except maybe those irritating fillers that I've learned to tolerate by now). The challenge for this series is to keep the audience continuously engaged in the next episodes. The narratives revolving around the introduction of Nin and Makisig's relationship and the revelation about Otep's three-month relationship might do just that.
