OMG that vomit (yeah prop's to actually vomiting). think i have never seen a movie or drama where the actor committed so much to a role, they actually barfed (wish they put more into the actual acting ugh). but Caloy sitting there with that vomit all over him and calmly wiping John, i couldn't do that for the life of me - first there a very good chance i would barf all over him, secondly i would rush to running water, get that sh*t off me like it was burning me alive. then maybe i could find it in myself to come take care of another. so the director trying to zoom in on Caloy wiping his body or making John wake-up to get close and personal nahhh peace out.. wouldn't happen, didn't do a thing other then disgust me. not the right time to set any type of mood - plz. and No i couldn't ignore the fact that Caloy was using only water - that doesn't get anything clean and for sure doesn't get ride of the smell - that was just OMO - no!and have to say i kinda get the trans girls r comedic relief, but they a bad joke - it's even very offensive to watch how they r being portrayed. it's like they used to over feminize gay guy's cause it was supposedly funny - it wasn't. that's just stupid stereotyping - would think people who want to make BL's, can be open to understanding the rest of the diverse group's that r oppressed and represented in the LGBTQIA+ community. educate urself - this aint fiction ¯\_(•_•)_/¯

Lakan (2020) Episode 2: Pagsasamang Loob/Pag-iisang Loob

I liked Episode 2: Pagsasamang Loob (Solitude)/Pag-iisang Loob (Unity). There's improvement compared to the pilot episode. Plot/storyline progressed on this episode with Caloy and John adjusting to life in the rural area where they're staying. As they cope with their new environment, they also found themselves feeling differently about each other. At least there's some build-up. The crude characterizations of Ditas, Luningning, and Bighani were extra annoying on this episode. Screenplay was cringy at times but was generally tolerable. Acting was better but was still barely watchable. But I did find John Kennedy and Paul charming. I also liked that they're not super fit; they still have some fats here and there, lol. They looked normal and relatable. Production design was good and I loved the cinematography for the outdoor scenes that used long shots. Editing still needs work. All in all, it's an improvement from last week's episode so I'm satisfied.
