Would you recommend You never eat alone? I've been on the fence about watching it.
I dropped it after two episodes because I thought it was a complete waste of time, so I wouldn't. But that's my personal pov. Some people seemed to like it.
I sometimes wonder about the rating at MDL. I watched 'History 4 Close to you' yesterday which has a real plot, character development and superb production, and where actors display lots of talent, and it stands at a rating of 7.7. This series that has none of that stands at 7.5.
I understant it's a continuation of Stranger's Kiss, which didn't really end.
I'm usually skeptical about continuations because all too often seasons 2 have been disappointing when production companies simply try to squeeze some more money out of a story that has come to an end. But I'm looking forward to this one as Stranger's kiss leaves many loose ends, so there is a chance of really continuing the story. Trailers look promising, and if they manage to improve on some technical flaws of season 1 this may be an exciting thing to watch.
Maybe not cancelled, but probably postponed. Star Image Digital have in the meantime uploaded an "apology video" with officials and Buknoy and Kabo who are both fined 100,000 Pesos and suspended for a month because of some misbehaviour or even criminal offense (I don't speak Filipino, but this is what I understood from the comments before they were deactivated). Seems to be a complete mess at that company.
I find it interesting that a lot of people are rewatching this series. I did over the last few days, and I love it even more. Okay, the ending is cruel, but I hope they will make good for it in season 2.
What's wrong with this production company? They started one series beautifully, 'Amore', but didn't finish it properly. Now they promised to air three series at the same time, with mainly the same actors, and what happens? Nothing. What a mess. I'm not too sad about 'Paloma' and 'Alter', but I liked the first two episodes of 'Serpiente'.
Like MyDay, this seems to get worse from week to week. I endured the pain of watching MyDay till the end only because of Miko Gallardo who was the only proper actor in that show. In this one, there is no one nearly as good as him , so I'm checking out. In the beginning it says 'this is for entertainment purposes'. But it's not entertaining, it's just embarrassing.
I'm so exhausted by all the action, the suspense, the unpredictability, the meaningful dialogues and philosophical monologues, and my eyes are hurting because of all those overwhelmingly beautiful costumes. Urgently need a rest to recover.
How do you know you're watching a Pinoy, not a Thai series? Cars - if there are any - drive on the right side, there's more trans than gay or straight people, they are addressing real life social and political issues, one of the actors contributes a beautiful song to the ost, and, most importantly, there's a rooster crowing in the background.
I like this series, even if it seems a bit overloaded. Ian and John act quite well, the script may have some flaws but is acceptable, and I like the rural setting.
I watched the first episode because I was curious if it would be as bad as I expected it to be. It wasn't. It was worse. Star of the episode for me was the white horse. If it doesn't get a main role, I'll drop the series.
Plot and characters are developed at exactly the right pace, not too fast, not too slow. Nice to see Run and Mawin get proper roles after their talent was wasted in Tharntype and especially TT2. Was a bit sceptical if Tong could turn into a character 10 years younger than he actually is, but he's doing well. Fine actor.
In contrast to many commentators here, I like season 2. There may have been some weaknesses, but the plot was quite realistic, the acting good (with Royce Cabrera again putting most others in the shade) as well as the production. What I appreciate most is the courage to openly address the struggle for the anti-discrimination law (SOGIE bill) in the Philippines. As far as I know this is the only major production that does this (it was done in 'Safe haven', a DIY series that was produced so poorly that it didn't gain much attention).
Although I liked the acting of the main couple a lot, Chih Tian Shih for me is the star of this show. His acting is great from beginning to end, but the scene in ep 6 when he is returning the things Pei left with him tops it all.
The problem about Thai BLs now is that ITSAY and 1000 Stars have set the bar very high, so the simple formula of "misunderstandings + jealousy = plot" doesn't really work any more. I found it entertaining, though, and I liked the cast a lot.
This is imo one of the better low budget productions, thanks to the acting of all three actors, especially Kaleb. Will there be a season 2 with Damon and Angelo both being guardian angels? If so, I wish they hire a better sound engineer.
I like this series, even if it seems a bit overloaded. Ian and John act quite well, the script may have some flaws but is acceptable, and I like the rural setting.
