Based on comments, PhuXKhao will keep you around. You just have to put up with the frequent skipping or playing the episodes in ff. Sad that this one had so much potential but the team behind this opted for tired and irritating character development, acting, plotline and one lazy scriptwriting and directing.

Probably not. It just there are a lot of BL series these days.

Yeah, wattpad stories are good. Until adapted to tv/series.... like other TH BL. Snooze fest!

Is this comment a 'bot? You replied to my comment a while ago with the same content. LOL.

That's why it is confusing. The timelines in the last EP seems to require explanation outside of the episode AND the show. That reflects a weakness in the script or directing. Anyway, it was only glaring on the last EP.

As for the 'forcing Karl to come out" I have no issue with that, coming out takes time. The lazy writing I was referring to was with the seeming randomness of the last EP and the main purpose of it which was "to set up the next season." And please, let us not take comments as attack to the LGBTQIA+ experiences, I commented for the viewing experience I felt watching the last EP. Because if you do that, you are discriminating to straights who are watching the show and has criticism over the last EP.

I hope they won't go that route and based season 2 exclusively on the wattpad story. It might become like those TH BLs who has great wattpad stories but have poor execution when adapted to tv/series.

Timeline really was a mess on the last episode. It took the stakes they had built from the previous episodes into mediocrity. :(

And to use the ending of season 1 to set-up season 2 without real plot is real lazy.

Idk about the budgets, but this one is backed by a major sponsor. As for the quarantine, it probably had been affected the ending but to continually build the show with great and high stakes and end it with such mediocrity was kind of sad and kind of lazy on the part of the writer. However, it was not the first time they did a gimmick and needed to explain themselves.

A masterpiece up until the last episode. I am a bit disappointed with the ending. It was mediocre. Transitions were not explained very well (not verbally and visually) and led to confusion with the timeline. Cinematography again is on point. Acting is great. But there were hiccups on the audio/dubbing. Still, it is in league with the best BLs.

It's as if the writer had lost his/her steam. I was kind of put-off by the randomness of the ending.

So, who's the one Mayora?! Ep1, EP2 and most part of EP3 is building Alex's character and I think most viewers are team Alex. However, that one act in the latter part of EP3 showed how Pearl is still in love with Karleen and EP3 also fleshed out Karleen's background to make her (a little bit) likeable.

As for the cameo, I felt it genuine enough. I mean it was not 'out of the blue' cameo since in previous episodes, it was shown that Pearl is reaching out to her friends but they are too busy and ended up talking with Fonzy. There was also a scene where CaiReel replied on one of Mayora's post. I think as her friend, it was not surprising that they will visit her unannounced. Also, I think the cameo also added to the narrative, as they were the tangible embodiment of the viewer's stand on Pearl's love choices.

As for the last part of EP3, is it a foreshadowing to Pearl's choice?

Whoops! what a plausible theory. It might happen.

Same. Dew the movie also came into mind when I first watched EP1.

Wow! Too much crying in EP4. And yeah, too much love can kill you. And also, love your self first.

That's why I lurk in the comment section before trying to watch it again for at least the 5th time. :)

Got a tummy ache laughing so hard with the 'blink' react. :)

Here again just to read through the comment section. Keeping my fingers crossed that the viewing experience and narrative had changed since EP4. But no, still flat as ever (according to comments).

So nothing changed? Still flat acting and cringed worthy side characters? Except for PhuXKhao?

O.O what did I just watched... that was one amusing EP 1 and not in a good way :)
