Sakristan (2020) Episode 2: Bangkok

The plot/storyline did not really move forward in this second episode. Script was still corny and cringy and in some parts, it didn't make sense. They are in high school and their social studies is about memorising the capitals of Southeast Asian countries -- seriously? Acting of the lead actors did not improve at all. They still lack chemistry. Because I like them, I feel sorry for them. I think they weren't properly guided by their Director. The support cast was equally awful. The host/teacher was reading almost the entirety of her script! This so-called VinCentiments style of campy acting is really bad. It's not funny and humorous, it's just over the top, unnatural, and unrealistic. Editing was horrendous as well. The entire episode was dragging and the episode could have done away with a lot of the scenes. Production value was at its lowest. Indeed, it looks more like a high school class production. I love Lady Gaga but the adaptation of her music was not integrated seamlessly into the episode making me wanna scream #JusticeForLadyGaga! In summary, I don't know what to do with this series. I support Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series but this is turning out to be really terrible and I'm having second thoughts if I'll still watch the succeeding episodes.
