I really loved this show, but they're messing it up now. I don't remember a show that made me as angry as this one. How dare you hurt our cute Mahiro so badly? The writer who is responsible for this bloody mess should never ever write a script again!

I think you'd better wait because today's episode was a complete disaster.

It's awful, but the scenes with Zeke/Fifth are worth watching. So just watching them and ffing all the rest wouldn't be a waste of time.

I did like this series because it felt more realistic than many other BL series. It is true that it doesn't meet the standard set by "The Eighth Sense", but we can't expect every series to be such a masterpiece. I think the plot and the acting in "Star Struck" were quite good, but episodes should have been double as long to allow better character development. I'd love to see a second season, because the ending felt as if they stopped half way.

Agree. Watching guys stumbling around in the jungle looking for guys stumbling around in the jungle was simply boring, and what has this to do with Bad Buddy and ATOTS when Pat/Pran and Phupha/Tian are separated most of the time?

That was a solid start. I like the rural setting although it feels a little over-romanticised, and the good old "opposites attract" will certainly work with these main actors.

I loved him in "Lovely Writer" - although his role was very small, he was clearly the best actor in that series.

IMO this has been the best episode so far, and it's been the first that I didn't think was too long. Bruce and Up's acting again was better than the rest - Up is so good at displaying Put's ambivalence. And Saint's acting was quite good this time, too, so I feel a little less guilty that I'm watching this series mainly because of him.

The first special is 38 minutes on gaga and the second 31.

I'm always ready to excuse poor technical quality of Filipino low budget productions because I know how difficult it is to find funding for BL or gay series in the Philippines. But I do expect that there is at least a reasonable script and good acting. There are so many talented actors in the Philippines, and some very good writers, too, but when a guy like Xerxes Damuggo, who has proven that he can act, suddenly seems to have forgotten everything, there's something wrong about the production as a whole.

I watched the uncut version on gagaoolala. The special episodes are listed as ep. 11 and 12 of the regular season.. The censored version is on MFlow's youtube channel.

Aki played in "My Toxic Lover" and "Worth the Wait", which were among the worst Filipino series ever. They were produced by Pepps TV, and one reason of the controversy seems to be - according to some Filipino gossip websites - that Aki signed a contract with Pepps while still under contract with Oxin Films, but that may only be a rumour.

I tried to watch episode 1, but this is awful. Dropped.

Nothing sensational, but a nice short film about three young people's awkward way of finding out who they are and who they love. Talented actors.

It's now been announced to air in 4.5 hours from now.

I'm glad that it didn't rain once in this episode, so the stupid "rainy hearing loss" thing didn't come up. Instead, one could focus on the fine acting. Title is great in this series once again, and Suar is perfect as the lazy, sloppy little brother, but Copter beats everybody else.

Haha, I guess that happens when your best friend is a hair stylist.

I'm surprised at myself, because this series has some important things that I don't like, but I still find myself liking it.

It seems the supernatural thing is meant to be the main plot, and I find it more ridiculous than exciting. On the other hand I'm fed up with high school BL series, but here this subplot is more interesting (and better acted) than the story of the main couple (or thruple?). I know that Gun's acting may never earn him an academy award, but I like him here more than in "Golden Blood", and I must admit that I've always had a weak spot for him. But the actor I like most in this show is Bhu who was already amazing in MoD.

Then there is the slow pace that I wouldn't like in another show, but here I do like it because it is used to develop the main leads' characters. It is true that episodes are unusually long, but the overall runtime is the same as in series with 12 episodes of 40 minutes each, so not all that extraordinary.

I'm not sure about where this thing is heading, but I'm curious enough to stick to it to find out about it.

That is how he sees it. Here's what Miko says about the issue:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXas1GcUkqQ&t=2s
Subtitles are bad, but main points are understandable.

I watched this because - to my own surprise - I missed Run, Tiger, Lee Long, and Tong and their silly little stories. What I got was better than I had expected, as all the irrelevant side-characters are gone, and I got more of what I loved about the series: Run and Tiger's smile, lovey-dovey and even some hot scenes.
