After the "kilig" cliffhanger episode last week, we get a disappointing Episode 6. Ugh! Although I liked his confession to his friends, his online interaction with Xavier leaves a lot to be desired. After that sweet heartfelt song of Xavier, he reacts that way? Not feeling Mico right now. He could have handled it better. Anyway, hope he redeems himself in the remaining 2 episodes. (crossing fingers)
There were some nice scenes here and there but overall, this episode was kinda bland for me.
Despite making Way fix many things in the house, Khett ends up failing to make Kim and Way go out together. Despite being confronted by Kim (Pan in his body), Khett was still unable to confess his feelings. Are you dense Pan? Can't you realize that on your own? haha.
On a good note, Way has finally admitted his feelings for Kim. Yay! Finally! The confession in the football scene seems amateurish but was still cute for me. :-)
What bugs me most is that it's already Episode 9 and we still haven't seen the actual Kim manifest or even realize his feelings for Way. Also, while Pan seems to have feelings already for Way, she is oblivious with Khett's feelings for her. Ugh! Considering that after this, there are only 3 episodes left, I hope that they are able to catch up with all these issues and resolve it in a good way.
P.S. I am so jealous of P'Jennie since she got to kiss Ohm many times. hahaha
Episode 7 is a rollercoaster ride. This episode will take you to the emotional highs and lows of romantic love plus a healthy dose of family drama.
Episode 7 started out with the love triangle online confrontation that eventually fizzled out with the important question still left unanswered. Next we get the virtual party of Pearl, Gav and Cai with the latter dunking his oreos in a wine glass filled with milk (how cute!). The teasing continues with the male leads until family drama came into the picture courtesy of Cai's brother and mother. We have to appreciate the efforts of the writer and director in making this not just the usual love flick but also having a more relevant theme which is in tune with the current times. Despite the blooming love story of the GavCai ship, their happiness is now tempered with the realism of the difficulties and eventual tragic death of a family member.
Despite the relentless teasing (which by now gets old already) by Gav and now added with unresolved feelings and non-commital expressions by Cai, I still gave this episode a high rating mostly because of one fact - the outstanding acting skills of Elijah Canlas who is playing one of the main characters.
Cai is definitely the star in this episode. I have to admit that when this series started, I did not like his acting that much especially since he was eclipsed by the more talented Kokoy (who plays Gav). His performance now seems more natural and convincing especially during those scenes with his brother and mother. Truly heart-wrenching scenes! Apart from his acting, I found Cai more handsome in this episode because of his haircut. In fact, I like his image now even when he wears that headband. Although I used to find it 'baduy', I now realize it's not the headband per se that I didn't like but Cai's haircut that goes along with it. Now, Cai is more dashing and cuter than Gav (sorry Kokoy haha). Thank you to the production team for Cai's new style. :-D
After the Terrence love triangle drama in the previous episode, we now have to contend with the Cai's family drama. Speaking of family, the performance of the actors playing Cai's brother and mother were also quite good. I just hope this level of acting performance by all actors will be carried on until the last episode (fingers crossed).
Loved it because of the following: 1.) The attempted exercise (was it yoga?) of the barkada (circle of friends) - I can so relate to this. haha 2.) Mico and Xavier having a watch party of One More Chance - one of the penultimate Pinoy love films of all time 3.) Mico closing his eyes while watching Xavier simulate kissing someone - I felt that! Kilig much? haha 4.) Mico was honest enough to admit that he is afraid to love because he doesn't want to be hurt like his mother. Aww. :-( 5.) May pa kili kili si Papa Xavier. Ang hot! haha (Xavier showed his armpits. So hot! haha)
Over the past three episodes, I think it is safe to say that JC (Mico) is a really good actor. I could feel all the emotions and shyness he felt. We've had that experience before of crushing over someone. It's like that. haha On the other hand, I have this feeling that the acting skills of Tony (Xavier) is dwindling as the series progresses. Hope he improves more in the coming episodes. Still rooting for the XaviMico ship. :-D
The episode ended on a cliffhanger with the possible admission of love between the two - emphasis on the word "possible" because it just might be Xavier is still teasing Mico. Ugh!
Just finished watching Ep7 and here are my thoughts:
Loved many scenes because they were sweet and cute: 1.) Mutal hairpulling and pillowfight between Kim (Pan in his body) and Soda. 2.) Buffet contest between Khett and Way 3.) Khett letting Kim (Pan in his body) sleep in his bed and leaving the "banana milk" note 4.) Way said to Kim "School is so bad without you." Awwww.
I love P'Jennie but somehow I did not feel his performance in this episode. Dunno why.
Although it was inevitable, it was a bit disappointing that Pan and Kim has switched back to their own bodies (that "accidental" kiss looked so contrived. haha). I am worried that the story would revert back to the usual hetero love triangle (Khett and Way fighting over Pan). I have no problem with KhettPan but I still wish that KimWay would happen somehow. I just hope that those saying this show is queer bait would be proven wrong. (crossing fingers) I would feel bad otherwise and would drop this show like a hot potato. LOL
1.) Cai wearing a bonnet. I find him cuter this way more than him wearing the headband. Speaking of headband, I now realize that it was not the thing per se that I don't like but his hairstyle that goes along with it. While I don't like his usual headband coupled with butterfly hairstyle, I actually think he's hot wearing that same headband when his hair had that wet look and brushed up. Ugh! Go figure. haha
2.) Cai's apology. After a series of "matalinghaga" (mysterious) steps that Gav had to go through, in the end was the "apology show" courtesy of Cai. It is kinda "baduy" (uncool) but I think that was what they were going for. More than the silly puppets, it was heartfelt and sweet. Love the rap! After many episodes, I really liked the acting of Elijah in this episode. He seems more mature already and showed more depth to his performance beyond the usual frowns and "paawa" (pitiful) effect. I actually liked Elijah's acting more in this episode as compared to Kokoy who was more sublime in here. Kudos!
3.) Pearl!We gotta love this spunky girl. She talked some sense to Cai for saying those awful things to Gav. I also liked that scene where she is showing off some "bisexual" vibes. Ooh lala! However, during their group videochat, I found some of her actions to be a bit over the top. I mean considering the seriousness of the discussion, did she really have to act and say those things? I found it distracting. Anyway, still love her.
4.) Online confrontation. It felt like a virtual version of those conflict reality tabloid shows wherein complainants and respondents vent out their anger and whatever other feelings they have for or against each other. Terrence may be a cutie but he's a manipulative and pathetic "ex" who still had the hots for Gav. Pearl was right. Ang haba ng hair ni Gav (Gav has long hair) - a Fiilipino euphemism for one who has many admirers.
Can't wait for the next episode. Hoping that Cai will say YES. (but we all know it can't be that easy right?) hahaha
2 possible scenarios. 1, considering Taglish, it may be pronounced that way. We don't really conveniently pronounce…
Yes. Love the play of words. By the way, I found it kinda ironic since I don't believe Mico is a "top". hahaha ;-)
Crystal: " Ano yung point? Alam mo yung FACT na kailangan ko pang i-explain sa iyo ang lahat ng 'to, may mali na. Xavier naman!"
I can relate to the pronunciation problems of English words since I am Pinoy too. I just found it funny if that word was pronounced as "f**k" instead. I really thought she was cursing at first. Had to replay that scene. hehe
AFTER WATCHING EPISODE 2: First came the virtual "tampuhan" (misunderstanding) then came the "nagkaayos" (makeup) moment and thereafter the online flirting began. Yay! Kilig much. I LOVE THIS EPISODE. ;-)
Good casting especially for the main characters. Seph and Kookai were also cute in their own way. Kudos to whoever made the casting decision.
It might be slower but I think it's a welcome change of pace compared to the much faster story development in the other Pinoy BL series "Gameboys". This means more opportunities for the characters to develop depth and for their relationships to flourish. Hopefully, this would also mean additional time for the conflict to arise and its eventual satisfactory resolution.
Considering it only has eight episodes, the series has already utilized like 25% (2 out of 8 eps) of its time already. I just wish that the remaining episodes would not let us down. :-D
P.S. Is it just me or did Crystal pronounced one of her lines as "f*ck" instead of "fact"? :-)
Just finished watching Episode 1 of this series. All I can say is - Ang galing! (It's great)
I honestly did not expect that the quality of this web series to be like a full-blown movie. I mean the script, cinematography, clothes, production values and music were quite good. The main cast were quite good looking and act really well. I hate to admit it, but other Pinoy (Filipino) BL movies so far pales in comparison.
This early on, I think the characters of Mico (JC) and Xavier (Tony) are balanced. Mico is the nerdy but cute type but can only cook fried foods and instant noodles (I can so relate to this on a personal level. haha). On the other hand, Xavier is the typical handsome jock who is bad in studies but can cook chicken "tinola' (stew). Together, their on-screen chemistry is actually brimming with so much potential.
Surprised to see the name of Olivia M. Lamasan in the credits as an Executive Producer and part of the Creative Department in this series. I think that contributed greatly to having a web series like this one which I believe is on par (or even more) compared to other famous Thai BL series. Hope they maintain this quality to the last episode.
To all those who haven't watched this series - "arat na!" (let's go!)
P.S. The song "Kahit na Anong Sabihin ng Iba" (Whatever Others Say) sang by Seth Fedelin kinda reminded me of the band Orange and Lemons. hmm.
P.P.S. Thanks to this series which featured poem "Sa Kasintahang Nilimot Na" (To the Forgotten Lover) by Benilda Santos. I googled it and the poetry was so touching. :-D
IKR! This is (and have always been) my go to feel-good BL series. It might be fluff and such, but I find it's…
Thanks for saying that fellow shipper. I used to think I was the only one who thought that the two (Pavel and Bas) would have looked good together (and would have acted better) as the main couple. haha. I hope a producer reads this and consider the two for future projects. :-D
Just finished watching this series. Damn! Lots of good acting and cinematography in this one. Just didn't like the ending though. I felt it was done too suddenly and it really made me sad. Like WTH! You made us root for the couple and then that happened? Then again, the fact that the acted made me so sad in the ending is a testament to how good their acting was. If you want to watch a drama with a happy ending, then this is definitely not it. Nice build-up though. :-)
IKR! This is (and have always been) my go to feel-good BL series. It might be fluff and such, but I find it's…
I've watched 2 Moons for the 8th time already. Still not digging Godt as Phana that much but I think he was better in acting (and better looking) than Ben. :-D
Pavel as Phana and Bas as Wayo. Now that would have been better casting. hahaha
Oh well. I think there's nothing we can do about it. I just hope Earth's Wayo will man up in Season 3. His characterization can be quite irritating already. I honestly liked MingKit and ForthBeam more than PhanaWayo in 2 Moons 2. And to think they were supposed to be the main couple.
Kinda disappointed that the planned meetup did not push through. Maybe it was done (or not done?) to heighten the excitement. In any case, I found Cai more cute (should I say dashing instead?) in this episode with better clothing than previous episodes (sans the scene where he wore the headband. hehe). Gav looks and acts great - as usual (love the way he says "baby" to Cai. haha). The new character (possible "third party" to the GavCai ship) introduced in this episode seems bland to me but hopefully this new drama conflict between the characters would pick up soon. All the best to the production, cast and crew of this series! It's almost halfway already to the series and I already feel giddy about how this will end. :-D
The ending song of ep 5 is so good!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XKaeC5s2Ro
Wow! I love that song. Thanks for sharing! I also liked that instrumental song being played after showing the wallpaper of Way's phone. Do you know that? :-)
Started the morning by watching Ep.5 of this series. Dang! That was good. :-)
Loved it for the following:
1.) P'JENNIE IS BACK. (Yay!) I really laughed at the Organizational Chart skit. An employee who failed in his job should really be afraidif he will be reported to the boss. haha
2.) CLEVER SHIPS. I honestly don't know who to ship anymore with whom. Some scenes in this episode show other potential ships like WayKhet and KimSoda. But still rooting for KimWay and KhetPan. But where does that leave Soda? :-( (Don't care much for Pingping coz she's a bitch. LOL)
3.) SMARTPHONE WALLPAPER. I guess what the characters said was true. Considering the importance of our cellphones nowadays and the many times we use it daily, it really does reflect what's in our hearts. Awww. And since I just changed my wallpaper last night to a pic of MaxTul, does that mean that I am in love with them also? ROFL
With everything good that's happening to the series, I am really excited for the upcoming episodes. I just hope the ending would be truly satisfying. Please don't give us another "high five" moment. haha
P.S. At the start of the episode, I noticed the additional statement after the usual "raikantopeni" warning Maybe it was to address the criticisms of some holier-than-thou audience about iffy behavior of some chracters in the series? Ugh! Of course it's not promoting or condoning those bad stuff. It's just a drama portraying some situations which happen in real life. Jeez! Give this series a break will you! ;-)
P.P.S. The nosebleeds (yes. plural) are back. Ugh!
There were some nice scenes here and there but overall, this episode was kinda bland for me.
