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.
and yes it did take me two months to finish the last two episodes
just completed watching Meet My Angel. Just the other way round. Low budget too, but getting better from episode to episode, Only three actors, but real actors, a beautiful ost and script.

Congrats. Couldn't persuade myself to endure the pain watching this. Dropped it after 2 episodes, gave it a second chance, dropped it for good after ep 4, because it didn't get better, got even worse. I wonder if there was a script at all.
This movie touched my heart. Earned Elijah Canlas dservedly best actor awards internationally (Rome,Italy) and nationally. Unbelievable acting. I usually don't like black and white movies, but this one needed to be shot that way. Although concentrating on Kalel's story, it lays open the brutal reality within society and esp. Catholic church for outcasts like HIV infected persons.
Producer and scriptwriter seem to be Bob Dylan aficionados. When Ben enters the bar in ep 6, behind Jim there is a poster with Dylan lyrics "There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven...". Val's beautiful monologue in ep 7 is a variation of those lyrics: "Everything has its timing..." I like season 2 more than most commentators here, because I appreciate it includes many colours of the rainbow, and the different struggles of their representatives. I also like Miko and Royce playing parts with a meaning, and I think the skills of all actors are better than in many series.
This is the kind of series that makes me frustrated because I love the concept, but find the execution lacking…
I agree with every word you say. Was about to drop this series after first/second episode, but Enzo and especially Kaleb's acting has made me stick to it.
this series is getting better from week to week. mix acting is amazing, can't believe it's his debut. khaotung so much improved compared with that crappy Tonhon Chon. great cinematography too.
Guys, can someone please explain to me whether this is one language that consists of English words/sentences and…
Filipino is a language that consists of a local language, Tagalog, plus English and Spanish words. As there are many languages in the Philippines, the government decided to create a national language to be understood by everyone. Spanish had been the official language during the time of Spanish colony, American English was spoken by many during the time of US occupation.
If some other company had produced this, it would have been 13 episodes of 45 minutes, which adds up to 585 minutes of wasted time until they woke up naked together. This was only 45 minutes of wasted time, and that's okay if you have nothing else to do. At least, some nice scenery and cute actors. Give them some training and a better script, and a little more time (maybe not 585 minutes though), and you may get a nice series.
