The Boy Foretold by the Stars the Series (2021)

" Even better than the Movie "

Well, the series continues Dominic and Luke's relationship after dating so you should definitely watch the movie first.

I had high hopes for this drama and I'm glad they didn't disappoint me or I should say this drama was even better than what I've imagined. I loved the original movie just because of Adrian and Keann's acting they're so talented also their roles were amazing both in the movie and the series. I gave a 9 to the plot..the story is simple and it has some annoying kinds of stuff but the overall meaning of the story was stunning . I gave a 9/5 to acting .. both main roles and supporting roles are superb just like the movie also the main role's acting had some progress in the series too. I gave an 8/5 to music...actually beside the stunning story superb acting great filmography and filming OSTs are very heartwarming especially in some emotional scenes you can listen to the playlist on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/album/36VpJ8lQUWhIre4hJjxBbO)... all I say this " YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS DRAMA... DON'T PASS BY IT VERY SIMPLE"

many clichés, great acting

I only saw the prequel movie of this series some years ago and this series went along without I'm noticing it. Luckily I got to see it now.... So before you watch this series, you should watch the movie "The Boy Foretold By The Stars" first.

I'm a bit split with this series, because I really hate all the clichés they put into the series, and especially the bitchy mother. Also the more comedic bits with the fortune teller I could life without. On the other hand the relationsship development was well thought out, the acting was great and believable. While there are always some fluffy sequences there always comes the punch in your stomach which will give you pause and the couple faces a bigger problem. It's really an emotional rollercoaster.

While this series is not perfect, the important parts of the storyline are always there. I guess philipino BLs are glanced over easily which they should not. Compared to the crap nowadays (2025) especially from Thailand, this series has many redeeming qualities. So I would recommand to give it a try. Because this is a continuation of the movie, I would urge you to watch that first to get more context. Overall, I enjoyed it.
