Insane

I watched this a while back and was utterly disappointed. I understand some low budget films aren't of the best quality, but even then the stories are adequate. However this was garbage.
It was a mixture of horror, COVID, and magic. Honestly one the most confusing shows I have seen since the pandemic started. The acting was poor as was the chemistry between the characters. It confused me at the end though, his face went back to normal after it was destroyed by acid just because he was like the lady Jaclyn? I felt bad for the dude with acne, he was an outcast just because of his skin. Since he had no one he was prone to become obsessive with no real luck and made him behave erratically.

So underrated. Excellent series...I LOVED it!

Swap Test is my favourite Pinoy BL series alongside My Day. The chemistry between Gab and Georgio is amazing. On top of that, Gerome (Gab) has such a lovely singing voice. The humour is quite dark at times but it had me in stitches a lot of the time. There were also a lot of moving and heartbreaking scenes.

This is such an underrated series and it should be given a chance. I really hope they do a series two. It is in no way deserving of such a low score. I would rather watch a BL with this pair in any day than cringeworthy series like Gameboys!

One of the best ever

I'm going to start off by saying that this is one of the best bl's I have seen the story felt so honest to me and I could tell that they took there time in delivering the story in a honest and caring light I felt that I was living what these caterers were feeling and expensing in every facet of there life's if you want a BL that makes you feel that they understand and expires that you are not alone in your everyday life then this is it.

personal story
hi I just want to add why I think more people should give BL,S a chance. about 2 years ago I was going throw a rough time with my mental illness but more over the depression I have had it since I was a kid and I tried everything I could and nothing was working and at that time I was going in to my 40s and it was getting worse and worse to the point I did not want to get out of bed and even more getting up the strength to do anything was a struggle and then one day I was watching videos a video site you all know witch one I am talking about lol but I watch this clip from a BL and so I gave them a try and it was like I was being transported into the life's of the characters in the story and I was forgetting the troubles in my own life now I'm not saying that this will help everyone but I am glade i gave them a chance and I really think that they are a work of art thank you for listening.

Commendation

I would like to commend the acting of Ely Cellan- very natural but convincing. Same with Gerome, his acting is also impressive for the role. I’m longing to see more of Ely and Gerome moments together. There is something that sparks between the two of them when they are both on the screen, even without any dialogue.

The music used in the series are authentic and pleasant to the ears. I am waiting those songs be released on iTunes so that I can purchase them .

I fully support this series. I am not watching any other BL series right now. I stopped watching them since I started watching Swap Test but I will continue watching them after this series finishes.

Comédia pastelão

Essa série não foi de todo ruim, mas com certeza seria melhor se tivesse menos episódios, pois não tinham conteúdo suficiente para 15, acabaram enchendo muita linguiça.

No início eu gostei bastante, parecia bem clichê, apesar do fator "pandemia", um enfermeiro da linha de frente contra o COVID de coração partido por ter levado um pé na bunda e um estudante triste pois perdeu familiares. As voltas do mundo fazem com que eles sejam vizinhos, e acabem se apaixonando. Existe um alívio cômico com as personagens trans, que inclusive tem muito espaço nessa série, até aqui tudo ok.

O problema inicia depois que Giorgio vai para a casa da tia, pois começam a acontecer coisas sem sentido, como se pegassem vários ingredientes aleatórios e os jogassem em uma panela, é um dos roteiros mais sem lógica que já vi.

A atuação é relativamente boa, Gerome Palparan é um cantor magnífico e abrilhantou a série cantando a ost. A fotografia é simples, não há nada de muito magnífico, uma comédia pastelão versão filipina.

Não assistiria de novo, porém recomendo a série.
