this series is not the love story between Karl and Vlad, that's the wattpad version (season 2 I believe). this one is the story of self discovery, struggles, and acceptance that most LGBTQIA+ people undergo. the ending was just perfect. They did not rush the story (Karl and Vlad together). It would not make sense in season 2(wattpad story) if they rushed it. This is just the prequel to Karl and Vlad's Journey of exploring the world that the two of them created.
The time skip was just right in my opinion. But i think they should have put a date(like in ep 1; e.g. December 2018) to further tell the audience that they skipped a bit(ex. 1st day of School, January 2019). different schools have different academic calendars (some schools have their semestral break between october 3rd week until november 2nd week; in this case, december 3rd week until 2nd week of january is their semestral break). At least by putting a date, the audience would understand that they skipped a few days on the timeline. But nevertheless, it did not tarnish the story for me.
I love series / movies with excellent soundtracks/OSTs/music scores. GSP did not just give 4 or 5 OSTs, but a whole 1 hour playlist of different songs. the scoring also was meticulously put in place, perfection in every scene.
The main actors and supporting casts are very much excellent in acting as well. when they deliver their lines, you can feel what the line means.
Script-wise, the first paragraph of this comment says it all.
Let's face it, we were Karl, or Vlad, or Ate Judit, Anna, or Tito Santi, or Karl's parents, or mixed once or twice in our life. This prequel series gave us a glimpse of ourselves in real life. A lot of life lessons were entailed also for us to indulge and absorb. We should take the time to absorb what we learned from this series and apply it.

imagine, this is just the prequel to the story and yet most of us are already hooked to it! im getting the vibe that ep 8 will be a redemption ep. all is well. all is well. all is well. T_T
I really don't like the show, and the script, but I do like Ian and his sister, the only thing that is good, the…
the show could not top on twitter every week if it was shitty. lol. he is not straight to begin with. he was just hiding behind his older brother's persona for the sake of his parents.
see? you didn't even understand the underlying deep story. lol.
Karl's childhood picture falling off from the closet can be depicted as Karl coming out.
Karl said "jinx" in a low voice after Vlad said he cant dance with the person he likes because his school was a catholic school, this can mean that Karl liked a guy before but is afraid to come out probably because of his family (his grandfather was homophobic; his tito santi was the subject of violence).
The movie (y tu mama tambien) they watched on the opening scene was literally happening on them to some degree.
The cadaver inside the closet can be depicted as Karl's true self hidden away in a closet.
Just wait for the climax. We're not yet on the climax. Hahaha.
sorry to say this but we are opposites xD.
months before MyDay was released, I was hyped because the actors seems so good together. they released BTS months before the pilot ep thus adding to the hype. the main actors are very much good together offcam.
when the first ep was released, I immediately notice the way they made the convo between actors/actresses, i dont like it, but then continued to watch every week anyway hoping it will improve. then I notice how the story progressed from a slow paced to very fast really quick. then I notice some scenes that doesn't connect to the plot. It felt like they skipped a few scenes. then I notice the character development of supporting roles was not explored much. then I notice the best friend chemistry of Sky and Jam was not explored much. etc. etc.
so far none of the PH BLs have "I am gay for you only" trope. I hope it retains that energy moving forward.
there are really people who can only be attracted or fall to a particular person. i am one of them. it really doesn't matter if the person is a he or a she. And that attraction takes time to form, and takes time to wither away.
For instance, I was attracted to one of my male friends when I was in 1st yr college (2009). it took me 3 years before I began to notice him as "more than a friend". I dont really know why I was attracted to him. It bothered me for about 5 months, then I decided to tell him about it. but it didn't go the way I want it to. we didn't end up together. he said he wants to start his own family and have some children, and that we can still be friends. It was a very painful at that time. But I was relieved because after what I confessed, we are still good friends. the hurtful feeling stayed with me for the next 2 years.
After that, I met a lot of people who became close to me. some of them even confessed their feelings to me, but I did not feel the same way as them. I did not find that same attraction I felt for my college friend. until now, i can say that i am still attracted to him but the pain is no longer there. He already have a family of his own.
And I am not in a relationship since birth, I am late 20s already. its just that, its hard for me to fall for someone who is not like my college friend, until last year. I am a software developer in a big company. Last year, we met a new member of our team. She was, surprisingly, have the same "aura" as my college friend. we instantly became close friends. I want to tell her that I like her but I don't have the courage to say it. I gathered all my courage for some months. but when the moment came that I was ready, she announced on her facebook that she has a boyfriend already. all those pain from my college friend came back. But this time, I was able to move on faster. Now, I am still attracted to the both of them.

Ana might have saw the dance scene. :)
