Swap Test Episode 1 Reactions
While Episode 1: Problem Solving was ok, it didn't really wow me. The plot/storyline didn't quite stand out. Nevertheless, I did appreciate Gabriel and Giorgio's character backgrounds that highlighted their experiences with heartbreaks and losses but I felt that the series needs to be more interesting in the coming episodes. Screenplay was cringy at times because there were overdramatic and poetic lines. Dialogues need to be more conversational and natural. Gerome and especially Ely's acting requires refinement. The supporting cast members that served as comic relief made me a bit uncomfortable. Their portrayals were caricaturist and corny. They weren't funny at all. Hopefully, they'll be given more depth in succeeding episodes. In terms of quality, production design, cinematography, and editing were average. The OST "Halik sa Ulan" (Kiss in the Rain) featuring Kiko Verzosa was at least fine. All in all, the premier episode was ok but there are definitely areas for improvement for this series.
