Pre*So Episode 1 Reactions
Episode 1: Captive Strangers introduced the main characters of this Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series. This episode focused on the aftermath of So's breakup with Pablo. There were numerous belabored scenes on this episode. The scenes that were supposed to be daring and provocative came across as tasteless. Because these unrealistic scenes were unnecessarily prolonged, they bordered on being exploitative. Screenplay was generally conversational at least. Acting was largely uneven. Vincent's performance was alright but Kevin's acting needs a bit of work. Vin's performance was quite caricaturish. Audio-visuals had issues. There were distracting echoes. While the drone videography was able to present some good camera shots, editing, especially scene transitions, needs refinement. All in all, it wasn't a solid pilot episode but I'm hopeful this series will improve in succeeding episodes.
