I've been blessed.

For a long time now, I have avoided watching series from my very own country. They were all dragged out or cut down depending on their popularity with same old plotlines and recurring themes.

This is my first Filipino BL series and I can say I've been blessed.

The series is short but well paced. It wasn't dragged out with unnecessary stuff nor was it rushed out to fit everything in but the heart and meat of the story was well conveyed. I also welcome the change of having just one couple to focus on (since Thai BLs have at least 3 couples in a series). The quotes at the end of each episode is a nice touch too. Oh and the sponsor thing is almost nonexsistent (it's a little weird and yet pleasing).

As for the story itself, it was very relatable and in touch with reality. It didn't stop at the male realizing he liked another male and everything went fluffy from there on. It delved further to the very things that a person from the lgbtq+ would take into consideration before being in a relationship, even before coming out.

The actors did well in their character portrayal. The chemistry between the pair is there and they were believable. Song choices are on point, very well chosen.

The only thing I could ask for is a season two --- their journey in life, this time, outside.

This series offered more than the regular BL series you could find. The rating for this isn't just for show at all. I highly recommend!
