They had me at 1:36 already. This was a promising start, much better than I expected. Very good acting, and "Uncle Baby Boy" is damn hot. Exciting cliffhanger, too.
Episode 2 was slightly better than episode 1 as it focused on Play and First. Towards the end, both Gameplay and Folk proved their acting skills in a couple of scenes, but the script is very weak, and there is an overload of adverts and product placement. So far, this series has been disappointing, and a waste of talent.
Episode 1 premiered today, and it looks promising. Sound and cinematography have improved, and Angelo Sandiego is a talented young man. He provided the most heartbreaking moment in "Stranger's Kiss" already, and he deserves the lead role in "The Guitar Man". I hope English subs will be completed soon so I can understand what they are saying in the second half.
I have to respectfully disagree with the previous poster about whether it makes sense to watch the movie. I just…
I didn't know about this movie version. Just watched it and love it. It's an improvement indeed. At one point, when they were dancing, I had this "Gaya sa Pelikula" feeling, smiling all over. Then I noticed it was made by the same writer and director as GSP, and that explains it.
They fixed it. It seemes the online streaming and later on the stored version have different links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZcrI2-kDo8&t=3s
They may have fixed the subs, but there's a lot more to be fixed, e.g. directing, acting, and most of all that disgusting display of a transperson again.
They've reuploaded it with correctly timed subs now, but honestly, it wasn't good at all.
I usually don't expect anything before a series starts so I can't be disappointed. This time I did expect something because I like Gameplay and Best. It was a mistake, because now I am disappointed. As you said, it wasn't good at all.
I just watched episode 1 at youtube. It was disappointing, not only because of the delayed subtitles. With all those adverts and product placements they must have a considerable budget, but there are low budget productions that have much better quality. I can only hope it will improve
So... do you think they are ad-libbing or do you think that someone actually came up with a script that instructs…
I have given up "thinking" about Magnifico TV productions. I've watched many Pinoy DIY series, some better, like "Stranger's Kiss", some worse, like "Unchanged Melody", but even the latter is so much better than anything from this company.
