The way they dealt with a misunderstanding was so impressive to me. Gav being mature enough to recognize that Cai was hurting and not taking it too personally, giving him space without abandoning him and just really genuinely trying to win him back - and not just because he's interested in Cai, but also because he knows that Cai needs a friend??? Delicious. And then when they talk... Cai being self-aware enough to recognize his overreaction and apologize for it, even though he could've let Gav take all the blame. I was stressed this episode, but it really warmed my heart.

As their relationships is having its path, another character emerges. It was once thought to be a threat to the pending love story of our protagonist. But contrary, the series reassure us that the series will portray heterosexual as positive as they could be.

This episode showed us how much Gavreel is serious in pursuing Cairo, which made us witness all of the cuteness of Kokoy. We also got to know Pearl, and she is a veru interesting charcter.

The cliffhanger in this episode is truly one in which anticipation will sets in your stomach somehow. And Queen Pearl truly is every fangirls and fanboys and fangays out there!

The addition of a supporting cast is a welcome addition. A richer backstory, and more themes, plus an audience proxy. The show is getting better.

I really glad that the new character girl "Pearl" is not the same toxic female character that BL tropes usually have. I'm starting to like her. I love how the story progressed here and how it showed Gav's sincerity. Cairo explaining why he's mad made me actually teary. Idk maybe because it was just not about being jealous but he trusted gav and he was looking for him when he received the news about his dad.

Not as great as the second episode (my favorite episode out of the three episodes) but Episode 3: Strangers Online was still a very good episode. I don't know but maybe I wanted more cute and sexy moments for this episode. The good thing about this episode though was that it made progress in its plot/storyline. Highlighting its Filipino (Pinoy) sensibility, the importance of family (in whatever form and shape) was given emphasis in this episode. We also got to know more about the background of the characters. The crew and cast really made an effort to ensure that there's character development. Some of the best parts of this episode were those with Pearl. Adrianna is such a fine actress. It's commendable that her character wasn't made into the antagonist which is a welcome departure from the usual "female as villainess" trope of boys' love (BL) series. The biggest advantage of Gameboys over other Pinoy BL series is its high caliber cast. Kokoy, Elijah, and Adrianna are all fantastic actors. There were a few cheesy lines here and there but because they are amazing thespians, in the end, the corny lines were negligible. And Kokoy... he's simply adorable! He sounded good singing "Isang Laro." I don't know how anyone can say "No" to him! Good production design, computer graphics, and editing were generally maintained throughout the episode. There were a few instances that needed some background music but overall, musical score was ok. I love that the new OST "Panalo Ka" by Dex Yu of Letter Day Story was more upbeat. I hope they also release an MV for the new OST. If Gameboys maintains its high quality in its succeeding episodes, I'm pretty sure the series will be recognized as one of the standards for future Pinoy BL series. I'm excited for Episode 4!
