Gun does not deserve to be in this series. He is so much better an actor than this. Seems like an easy pay check…
I really don't like him in these damsel in distress roles. He is a great actor: give him some variation! He is playing twins in Not Me and doing a bang up job with both personalities!
I want more Zafar!!! Apollo is just enjoying hamming it up!!! That evil laugh!!!
That being said, My prince is returning to Zurmania. Does My Prince not have advisors? Does My Prince not have an army behind him? Can't the team and My Prince not hold a press conference in the very lobby of The Grand (seeing that that's the Zerbanian Embassy at this point?) Are they just going to enter Zurbania with no real plan My Prince?
(Hope anyone reading this sees the overuse of My Prince. Trying to speak like a Zerbanian.)
we getting all those shameless flirt to get such a "ridiculous" angle camera kiss ? Really Really !!so far episode…
Exactly! If the actors weren't ready to kiss you need not do that! Some hand-holding, or a nice forehead touch would have sufficed. The point of that scene was for Marcus to see Art and Mickey in a tender moment. Two amazing kisses in Pinoy BL were in Gameboys and Gaya Sa Pelikula. Those felt very earned and real! The writing is bad, but I'm still blaming the Director for most of the crap here with his crappy decisions . . .
This had so much potential to be one of the best BL's of the year. Oxin really dropped the ball here. Scenes like…
Script is one thing, but directing is another. A good director can work with a not so great script and still come up with something acceptable and not just a major joke. Yes, just like with SciFi where we saw the move to more political intrigue with the space and monsters being just there in Battle Star Galactica vs Ster Trek: Enterprise, this could have gone from the point of the coupe to the BL side much better. The concept was original for the BL world, the execution not so much. I wonder if a civil war in Z will spillover to the lobby of the Grand Hotel?
Some of the innuendo and double entendre's are moderately amusing....particularly when 'Zeyn' says he doesn't…
There was such a missed opportunity to have the double entendres be errors in translating Zeyn's English (?) to Tagalog. That would have made them more funny and feel real.
More Zafar! Apollo seems to be having such a good time hamming it up! Goodness. I'm not a director, but Xion needs to really learn how to do his job! Such high production values, but the acting really, really lets it down! What's wrong with doing second takes?
This series was such a huge letdown. I was so hyped about the series as I really like Oxin Films but the quality…
This had so much potential to be one of the best BL's of the year. Oxin really dropped the ball here. Scenes like Malik and Ken at the cafe were well done, only to get the scene of the Zerbanian blackmailing the Prince!
At this point, the hotel may as well be the Zurbanian embassy. 😂 Everybody knows where to find them. Which…
Zurbania has its main charge account at the Grand Hotel so when anyone from the country visits the Phillipines they automatically stay at The Grand :D Once you clear Immigration at Ninoy Aquino you are automatically shown to The Grand courtesy transport van: the Toyota that Mikey uses as his tour bus :D
They had such an amazing premise here! The characters as designed are not half bad either for what they are. The production values are really high. This is shot in 4k while GMM is 1080p. So: 1. Why the ad-libbing? Stick to the script! I'm sure some film student reading this could tighten it up to be real quality! Even if the actors add lines, have the Director, I don't know: direct! Xion needs to take some examples from JP Habac (Gays Sa Pelikula) and Boss Naruebet (I Told Sunset About You)! 2. The musical numbers could still be in Mikey's head as an unreliable witness. That would give it so much more credence. 3. Why does Oxin insist on Chuckchuck and family? I get that they are the Producer's pets but why? Even if they do allow the dogs to be dogs, not babes in prams! However: Just like My Day, I can't stop watching! So at least Oxin has that going for it!
