Legit crying right now
Like bro, this movie is so beautiful. We finally get to see how Gav and Cai are doing in there 1 week together and it feels like that have been together for years. I like that in this movie we are more focused on Gav and how he is as a person and we know about his family and past. The chemistry between the lead is fire as always and it amazes me how can they have so much chemistry. Everything in this movie from the acting, plot and romance is lit. I cried, laughed and cringed. They couldn't have ended the series better. I am literally in love. What a beautiful and bitter sweet endingWas this review helpful to you?
A roller coaster of emotions filled with real-world LGBT experiences that are not preachy.
Definitely rewatchable movie you can add to your list.It adds to the experience if you have watched the Gameboys Series on Netflix and YouTube.
The actors deliver their lines flawlessly and the emotions are raw. They embody the character and they have chemistry. The storyline is never boarding, and each scene is packed. No fast forward here.
The LGBT issue here is real, and it happened to me. The feelings of Gav was something very relatable and that's why I hail the writer and director that they were able to accurately portray these real life characters so vividly.
The comic relief is on cue and never a dull moment.
Cinematography is sublime - It has an international film festival feel that is not budgeted.

Bringing You What You Longed For in Season 1
Everything that made the first season unique and great to watch was the fact that the pandemic kept them apart. Half of most romance stories (sometimes more than half) is about being in close proximity, lingering touches, wandering eyes. But that was impossible to do safely in a romance during the height of the pandemic.Here we are with easing restrictions and the build up of them being apart is completely satisfied by getting to see them together. It's the next chapter we all needed to see. The movie felt like the perfect length. Hearing that season 2 is just the same with added scenes, I don't think there's anything that needs to be added. It felt just right.
This movie delivers the full fledged relationship of Cai and Gav. They don't just have good bantering chemistry. They have good physical chemistry as well. The love scene might be the best one I've seen to date in BL, the acting, the cinematography, the music. It was *chef's kiss*.
The side couple was cute though a little awkward. I appreciated them.
I hope we get a sequel because they certainly ended this in a way that would allow them to make one.
But I'm not unsatisfied with the ending either. It was realistic and hit good emotional beats.

didn't enjoy this as much as i did the drama - getting that off my chest this was cute, with bits of funny, fluffiness taking us back to the 1st season (and this is only taking into considering everything happening before the Aunt from hell came to visit), and then they added Terrence into the mix, and i was like WTF (he was a detestable character in the 1st season and he didn't fair any better in the side-story: Alt.Gameboy). so brining in Wesley was adding insult to injury - plus who the frack gave two f*cks about these two, and their "budding romance"?!? not me that's for sure. and having (cutie-pie) Achilles sober up to the fact that he doesn't need Terrence in his life - blocking him, was supposed to absolve that annoying side romance? like plz.. i for sure wouldn't have been able to be as levelheaded, as he was when he finally confronted the f*cker - that was big of him - as Terrence deserved worse then what he got (and not even gonna go into gorilla boy trying to defend his mate - when he had no clue why Achilles when off the sec he noticed Terrence - so freakin glad Pearl was around the second time, to pull him away cause dude needed a reality-check ugh!!!). the Aunt as infuriating and condescending adding much needed fuel to this "story" which wasn't amounting to much - other then Gavreel running after Cairo, who was playing hard to get - same old same old ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so adding some much needed drama, added some interest to this trope plot. donno how they gonna develop it considering the end - but i guess they now have another reason to communicate via web-apps... so throw-back to the 1st season(?) that's a lead into the 2nd(?!?) left to be seen - but the confrontation between both lovers and the Aunt was Very satisfying - even if her last shot kinda shut them both up and threw a spanner into their well laid plans.
what Must applaud - for yrs have been reading manga's/webtoons - seen numerous movies and drama's that were all BL's themed and this was the first(!) time where the couple flipped and i literally cheered - yeah it was hot - smokin and after all the wooing Gav was doing, let alone their emanant parting it was fitting. but the fact that they showed that there aint No set rules(!) that there aint no predesigned roles - there aint no uke, seme = top or bottom, but just love and affection and what felt right - this movie was just worthy viewing, for that scene... so thank you

added more depth
cute. their acting is so good and the movie added more depth to gav's character which is great! not to mention other characters (except that boomer oldhag) was also very likeable!cinematography is a bit unstable, i mean overall it's good, but there were a few scenes that needed a bit more work.
music... i can't rate it bc i'm not familiar with pinoy...
i don't like a bittersweet ending but i guess they're still working on a sequel so i gave this a chance :D
but the bed scene thoo omg i think they didn't have to go that far ? they rlly showed the whole process, huh. i think it's okay but unnecessary. T__T
p.s. i still hate the excessive "baby" every time they call eo

Une vraie complicité
Comme dans la saison 1 de la série, ce qui m'a marqué c'est la complicité entre les 2 perso principaux.Il y a une alchimie et un naturel assez déconcertant que je n'ai trouvé dans aucun autre drama et pourtant Dieu sait que j'en ai regardé !
Ils m'ont donné le sourire ! Et c'est génial de se sentir heureux en regardant une fiction !
Au niveau du scénario, il n'y a rien de nouveau ni même rien d'original ! Mais pour le coup, ça fonctionne très bien parce que ça rend l'histoire d'autant plus réaliste ! C'est une photographie d'un couple à un moment M de son histoire.
Le sujet de l'homophobie, sans tomber dans les clichés, est super bien amené ! Et ça fait du bien !
Au niveau du jeu, j'ai rien trouvé à y redire ! Peut-être que les pleurs dans la voiture m'ont semblé un peu surjoués !
Mais c'est vraiment pour chipoter parce qu'au delà de ça, on a une scène de pleurs qui est parait tellement réelle à un moment donné que ça m'en a serré le cœur !
Mention spéciale pour la douceur qui se dégage de la "bed scene". Le cadrage est tout en subtilité !
En définitive cette série est juste ! C'est le mot qui décrit le mieux ce que j'ai ressenti : la justesse.
