I got really bored with Episode 4: Three-Ang-Gulo (Trianggulo). Kumusta Bro? had become tiresome already. It didn't…
I agree. I actually enjoyed the first two episodes, but the latest episode was quite a bore. Even the introduction of a love triangle didn't really interest me. Can you tell me more about the full narrative series though? This is my first time hearing about it. Will it be Thirdy and Dean's story without the interactive component?
I just wanna say f*uck you to everyone who disrespects single mothers. Once the father comes in the picture then…
I was just thinking about this! It's so archaic and dumb! Though I do love Dae Oh and am really enjoying this drama, the idea that a mother and her daughter needs a man to help protect them is idiotic. On a similar note, the idea that a child needs a father and a mother to be happy and fulfilled is also old-fashioned and completely false.
Disappointed by the end! A typical fan service drama that grasps you by the looks mostly. Abundance of emotions,…
Completely agree with you! The first half of the series was strong! It was unique, interesting and fascinating. There was a fantasy/horror edge to it. However, the series delved into a standard melodrama in its second half and all that potential was wasted. Thought that the drama was good, but nowhere near what it could've been.
Episode 10 was nice. We were introduced to Win’s family and learned a bit about Tops’ family. I really liked learning that Win was pursuing his dreams instead of working with the family business, which his brother tries to guilt him. Tops’ spiel to Win about the importance of chasing your dreams while still maintaining a relationship with your family was also touching.
My Day is probably the most anticipated filipino BL's, especially on social media! I see so many people mention how excited they were for this series, so of course, I had to check it out when it aired. The first teaser which showed the elevator scene wasn't anything special, but its trailer was very impressive, showcasing a budget and production value that I have yet to see in pinoy BL's. I love that pinoy BL's are getting high budgets! For the budget though, couldn't the slightly blurry cinematography be crisper? The audio could also be clearer. The music, though pretty, is a bit too much, making it feel like a Disney fairytale story with its flourishes which clearly it isn't. The acting could be better also as it felt like everyone was trying too hard. However, I love that this series is taking the classic story of poor meets rich, but with a BL twist. The story is quite interesting and I am already completely hooked just by watching the first episode. Yes, there are some flaws in the story, mainly the mean girlfriend trope and the comedic fat gay trope, but the set-up of Ace and Sky's story is perfect. I love that the series will be exploring parental expectation/pressure in Ace's character.
On a side note, I was surprised to hear some English swearing with a few f*ck's said within the first episode. Also, when Sky's brother threw water at Sky's girlfriend when she was frightened by an insect falling on her, I died! That was comedic genius! I LOVED that moment and couldn't stop laughing!
On a different side note, I'm okay with product placement in series but when the product being advertised is an instant skin whitening lotion. Just no. There's already a huge colorism issue in Asian countries. We don't need our BL's to perpetuate the idea that fair skin is better and more desirable than darker skin. And there wasn't just one skin whitening product placement, but two! All in one episode! Hopefully, there won't be anymore distasteful product placements in the series.
Ugh. How disappointing. Another "I don't like boys, just him" answer. However, excluding that dialogue line, this series is progressing quite nicely. There's less filler and TauTep's relationship really pulls you in, It's definitely one of my favorite BL's currently airing at the moment along with Hello Stranger.
Off to a shaky start. The audio quality is quite bad. The cinematography choices are off-putting and unflattering. The acting is flat and leaves a lot to be desired. Hopefully, the series will get better as it progresses. Not sure why they decided to release the first half of the first episode on a day and the second half a few days later...
Surprising that it took this long for a BL to uses a Grindr-like app in its story since gay apps are essentially a part of gay dating. I'm enjoying this series so far! Love the banter between the two leads. Much better than Truly Very Yours imo.
There's a lot of filler in this series, but I am enjoying it a lot! I love #TauTep's dynamic and am glad that the series got extended to 10 episodes. 5 episodes is definitely not enough for this story.
Nice Rapport Between Leads, But Interactive Component Hinders... Another pinocy BL with virtual calls that is heavily inspired by GameBoys with its characters being quite similar. The bashful with the player. Kumusta Bro? literally began the same way with someone livestreaming and bringing on a guest to co-host or to challenge and the guest turns out to be a pretty blunt flirter. I do must sat that the two leads, Thirdy and Bench are both quite attractive though, especially Bench! However, the interactive component of the series does hinder the series as whenever Thirdy or Bench refer to the viewers, it interrupts the flow of the story and bloats the running time. All in all, the first episode was quite dull. Though there were some good moments in the middle where Thirdy and Bench were just talking to one another, joking around with one another and insulting one another. It is clear that they do have a nice rapport going on. I hope that the challenge will help to further their relationship as it seems like Bench will fall for Thirdy hard and hopefully, Thirdy will fall back...
I'm hooked after finishing the first episode but I hate that the series perpetuates victim-blaming by having Praewa beaten up because Aya thought that Praewa seduced her boyfriend, Brave (which she didn't even). And even if she did, it takes two to tango. Brave is the one in a relationship, not Praewa. And he just got a slap in the face while Praewa was ganged up on and beaten to a pulp. But of course, it's easier to target her because she's a girl. Ugh. I hate seeing women tear each other down over the actions of their boyfriends. We see this in the real world too unfortunately.
For me, there was too much unnecessary filler scenes in Episode 2. Did we really have to learn about the "two truths and one lie" of the friends, which took up like half of the episode? This series is only 5 episodes. Shouldn't they focus more on the main couple?
A baby would have been perfect at the ending. Like a baby sleeping in between Yuki and Akira with the close-up of their rings. That would have been so good! Especially since Akira wanted to have a child. By including a baby, the show could have showed that gay couples can have children and be a family.

Also, when Sky's brother threw water at Sky's girlfriend when she was frightened by an insect falling on her, I died! That was comedic genius! I LOVED that moment and couldn't stop laughing!
