Roztomilý, ale jednoduchý seriál s ještě jednodužším příběhem, kde bych vyzdvihl především fajn hudbu a zpracování, kdy se častěji objevují nádherné záběry Mindanaa. Herci průměr, ale bylo příjemné se na ně dívat, zaujali mě Axel Torres a Shan Vesagas. Uspěchaný konec na to, jak se příběh vyvíjel. Na příjemné odpoledne těm, kteří mohou pinoy produkci, dopoučuji.

Had Potential and Then Took a Nosedive
Content Warnings: noneOverall: small budget production with a realistic story that had promise but ruined the ending
What I Liked
- the 2 main guys say what their sexual orientations are and their preferred pronouns (Sam is gay and Andrea is bisexual with an ex-girlfriend who is a trans woman)
- Sam and his ex actually have a mature conversation/resolution
- the beachy vibe/location
- for being low budget, the production value was decent, subs had some errors but very understandable with 1 exception at the end
Room For Improvement
- the pacing was a bit slow
- Sam's ex's stupid "plan" to get Sam back
- episode 7 doesn't make much sense since Andrei seemed very romantically interested in Sam, but then did a 180.
- the final episode (6 minutes and a large chunk of flashbacks) was very confusing. It says "1 year ago" but I think they meant "1 year later." We see Andrei driving and talking about going to a wedding of someone he loved so I assumed it's Sam's wedding, but maybe it's his ex-girlfriend's wedding??? Then Sam has flashbacks about how it was the wrong time then and he concludes by saying it's the right time now and the visuals are Sam & Andrei getting married? Then Andre has the happiness jar in the car and says 'maybe.' Finally, there is a scene where Andrei gives Sam the jar and they hug. WTH???? They should have gotten together in episode 7 and then done a 1 year flash forward with a nice wedding in episode 8.

Decepção total
Essa série tinha tudo para ser um espetáculo. Os protagonistas são estrelas consagradas nas Filipinas, a produção aparentemente investiu em qualidade nas cenas, os cenários, a fotografia belíssima. O que faltou na verdade foi o principal, um bom roteiro.Na verdade os primeiros eps até me iludiram, vi um romance se desenhando, a história clichê de dois corações feridos que se apaixonam em lugar paradisíaco, e do ex que aparece do além para atrapalhar a relação e provavelmente será dispensado. Até a abertura da série traz essa ilusão.
Até o ep 06 tudo estava indo de acordo com o esperado, mas aí aparece um ap 06.1 totalmente desconexo da série, que não faz nenhum sentido, assim como o final...que foi tão ruim, que só pode se redimir se o desfecho sem lógica justificar uma segunda temporada.
Não recomendo essa série, falta coerência, péssimo roteiro.
