Very sweet, almost too sweet, but just the right amount of sweet.
Though, I kept wondering till the end if they were going to just plain ignore the fact that Night was aiming to shoot someone else... and what kind of person and situation he is (in).
The series had a great potential in the beginning but it went downhill. Biggest plus is the scenery and shooting, the rest is mediocre at best. I doubt I will be back for season two.
I am very happy that there are more pinoy BL series about, but frankly, even most of the gay erotic movies from the Philippines have better acting and direction!
I have been holding off on this series because of some very conflicting reviews I have read earlier. In some ways…
While I was watching it I thought of three possible endings (death of one character, relocation of said character or death of another character), just that the ending was not obvious from the get go is refreshing. That two of the endings I foresaw came true is something I will have to carry with me and process in due time. In some years time this is definately a series I want to watch again.
One small detail irks me. It is mentioned a couple of times in the series that gay marriage will result in someone being struck down by lightning. Well, how did it end!? Clever writing and/or homophobic views glancing through?
The foreshadowing is very explicit and memorable, but hard to draw conclusions from. This speaks of some serious storytelling. I did not conceive the ending completely until Porsche started to raise his hand—then every piece but one fell to place—and I stopped breathing. The last piece came just after, and like a speeding train, the whole series replayed itself in my mind and I noticed all the foreshadowng details and phrasings again, and this time I knew the context; who was speaking to whom.
I am usually not commenting, but I need to write something. But I do not have the words needed. It just is that good.
What can I say to the commenters below? There is no magic, there is no split personality. There is a voice. And that voice tells us a story. And in retelling a story we are free, and obliged, to be held up at some points, and perhaps give us a second chance at saying goodbye and thanks. If you are confused by the endind, and are prepared to watch it again, please do so. It is worth it.
I have been holding off on this series because of some very conflicting reviews I have read earlier. In some ways it is more like a gay series with BL elements than the other way around. If you are expecting pure BL you will not find it—you might find something even better though.
I am going to rewatch this series come a few years. Without spoiling I cannot say more. But, I urge you—keep an open heart and give this series a chance, it is worth it.
