Cheating is not the nicest thing in the world but it is not the crime of the century either, no matter how the governess choir beemoans. It is a very common act to happen to millions of people, usually when the emotion takes control over sense. And they do not act as if they ignore it. It is clear from Barry's monologue as well as from the teaser of ep 5. But anyway, I am sick up to the back teeth with the bunch of hypocrites switching to Spanish inquisition mode straight away the moment a BL character proves fallible. If anything means higher standards that is the courage to show BL protagonists who make several mistakes, do make the wrong choices on numerous occasions, lose their self-respect, lie, act irrationally, often live for the happy moment they might regret later, and in general are just flesh and blood, instead of sticking to super-preachy narrative and faultless princes for the sake of philistines getting their panties in a bunch when characters are not strictly Saint Thomas Aquinas incarnate.

Once again, if you are a BL protagonist, do not dare to be gullible, human, frail, do not ever dare to make a mistake, like every other human being makes out of passion. If you are not the pillar of the most imperturbable moral, the Torquemadas come and get you. Christ on a bike. When did BL world has become the churh of 19th century spinster governess mentality? Duh.

No offence, but it is a reasonably shallow thing to do, especially judging a whole series for just that one. It is soft not porn. And we don't know whether they are straight or gay or whatever, Teejay Marquez is admittedly pan btw.

Karissa and Z are my picks too, but Keijee Mesina as Heaven was very good too imho. Some will no doubt find him over the top, but that is because he is a proudly effeminate gay character. I am actually quite content with the acting all the way, including the leads. To me they were both effective and convincing. Yayo Aguila hammed it up indeed.

If that is the conclusion where you have come after reading comments quite elaborately detailing the complex issues people have with the outcome of this show, then your comprehension skills are not very strong, to put it mildly.

Comments on YT are always 90% positive under just about every BL show. And not all the comments are negative here either. Even most negative ones here emphasize the positive aspects of this series, like acting, characterisation, production, cinematography, music, dialogue, etc.

By the finale the show literally became a cautionary tale - and a rather pedantic, preachy-toned one - for homophobic parents and jealous friends on what no to do. Not that it means they do not get instant redemption and even being told it is not their fault. Sorry, I am not crying like a river, in spite of being a very sentimental person. It never works for me when they try too hard, especially when doing it by overused melodramatic tropes. Hats off to the superb cast and the excellent production, the writer should not be so pleased with himself, although it is pretty clear he seems to think he has given us something special.

Skimming through the comments I have the impression that some viewers instantly get the shudders if the characters of a show were not strictly Saint Thomas Aquinas incarnate. Yes, Ben and Jim have many flaws, they make several mistakes, they do make the wrong choices on numerous occasions, they hurt others as well as they hurt themselves and each other. But for the love of God, all the hardship is very realistic. Yes, people do behave like them, people lose their self-respect, people lie, people act irrationally, people often live for the happy moment they might regret later. This series is apparently intent on showing how gullible people could be when they fall in love, probably not even with the right person, and it is portrayed and acted very well by all concerned.

Like just about every Pinoy series, due to the typhoon

Only segment 3 has matching subs

Actually, it is even more that that. Yoda purposefully triggered Katsuragi's sexual instincts to make him realize he wants to live.

Like I said earlier, if they overturn all this in ep 8. If that’s the case, the ending would necessarily be contrived, highly unconvincing and unsatisfactory. It is already a mess, though. Some came up with the idea this might be one of Ken's plays. That would be a shade better version of overturning than the classic "Bobby Ewing comes back" trick. Pity because the production is smart, characterisations are well-drawn, acting is a feast, Sadly the plot went off rails in the second half.

Karissa Toliongco, the actress playing Sandee tweeted the following "Tama ba mga theories niyo (are your theories correct)? #MyExtraordinaryEP7 OOOPSSS not yet! Wait until #MyExtraordinaryFinale". So she also hinted that something unexpected might happen. This may be a red herring, though.

I pick a third one: you are an arrogant, patronising, passive-aggressive prick who is not only convinced of having the stone of wisdom but feels entitled to tell people how they should feel. Get lost.

Ken is at fault also, he was irresponsible. But it is also Monica’s fault who couldn’t wait till Ken goes home once the weekend is over, and scared the shit out of him with that call in the middle of the night and ordered him to go home.

Up until episode 5 it was indeed very good, the acting and characteristations are still excellent and the production slick. It is only the plot which has become chaotic and confusing, as well as melodramatic, trying way too hard and too manipulatively to make you cry.

Blaming a poor young kid who just passed away prematurely is not a legitimate part of the grief in my eyes. Btw you don't know what I have been through my life, so just back up from your patronisig tone.

I was literally fuming when Kevin kept telling Sandee that it is not her fault. It is bloody well her fault. As well as at horrenodous Monica who chased them into their death and she still blames Shake for what happened instead of taking a good look at the fucking mirror herself. From Ep 6 the creators seem to be more concerned at tricking the audience than paying attention to character development and narrative cohesion.

Yes, it was filmed before tight lockdown. Hence the crowded Manila locations.
