Kumusta Bro? (2020) Episode 1: Tropa Meet Cute

The first of its kind in being live and interactive, Kumusta Bro? is indeed different from other Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series. Unfortunately, different doesn't always equate to good. Owing to its live and interactive format, the plot/storyline lacked focus. Yes, there were mentions of past and potential relationships, mental health, and the pandemic but none of these themes seemed to stick. Too much interaction with the Kumu app commenters was actually distracting. The free-flowing screenplay was generally ok with a few corny and cringy lines. Acting and chemistry needs improvement. Sky was occasionally over the top while Kristof seemed bored at times. Both needs to improve their relatability. Audio-visual technicals were problematic. There was an instance when the connection/feed was cut. Sound was sometimes choppy. OST was LSS-catchy though. Overall, I think I will really need to dig deep to find motivation to continue watching this series.
