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.
