a lesser known Pinoy BL that is worth a watch

Overall: This series deserves more views and recognition. If you like enemies to lovers and/or something that deals with real world issues, then check this one out. 

Content Warnings: cyberbullying

What I Liked
- discussing real world problems such as: cancel (or as I call it consequence) culture*, plight of farmers, and sexual position shaming
- the production value was pretty good for what I'm assuming was a smaller budget production
- the visuals and I thought their acting was decent for (again I'm assuming) new actors
- showing a f/f relationship which is pretty rare
- the very supportive parental response from Ram's parents

Room For Improvement
- The incredibly stupid plot point regarding Cholo's plan. I doubt any human on the planet would have come up with that plan. Like, Migo is your friend and he has a pride flag hanging at his place, pretty sure he's open to talking about his sexual orientation if asked and won't ban you as a friend or anything when he finds out Cholo's sexual orientation
- three couples with three love triangles (I really dislike love triangles and there are 3 of them!!!)
- because there were so many romantic relationships in only 8 episodes, we didn't get to delve deeply into any of them
- Why doesn't Ram just talk to Migo about Cholo's plan and then explain what happened? What person just lets the other person walk away crying?
- *Though I appreciated the discussion of cancel (consequence) culture, it is much more nuanced than it being totally bad. It has to do with trying to hold people accountable for their bad actions/decisions because the law is unable to do so. Consequence culture definitely has major problems though. 
- Migo's anger/acting was actually too much at the beginning, it would have been better if he had toned it down
- they only have English, Spanish & Indonesian subs. If they had put out a call for people to translate/sub (like I think Gameboys did), I bet they would have had many more languages
- the special episode does not have any subs
- the first episode "comedic" sound effects were waaaaayyyy too much, but they did tone it down

Above all, I was interested in the fact that it is not a "school" topic and that the series is devoted to the age-old desire of humanity - love. But that's about all. The first episodes didn't really interest me, and it was a struggle to get through to the end, because I'm now fed up with excellent series like Gaya Sa Pelikula, Tonhon Chonlatee or Ben X Jim.
Even the cast didn't really convince me (acting, type and appearance), except maybe Ram, so my overall assessment of this series is weaker ...

Love is equal and no gender Choice

This series shows that love is for everyone and no one chooses to be single and if there are two lovers it is forbidden to judge because we deserve to love and be loved. The influencer series has a huge influence to the viewers especially the LGBTQ members because the artists show good things about love. If you love someone you can accept them no matter what they are.
See you in my next review.
Keep Safe everyone and enjoy the show.

Mediano, mais pra menos que pra mais

E vamos de série filipina. Confesso que são poucas as que eu vi e realmente gostei, talvez eles ainda são muito novos nesse mercado e precisam encontrar um denominador comum com os fãs para fazerem séries de excelência.

Roteiro: Um plot diferente, primeiro por tocar em um assunto muito promissor: a profissão de digital influencer, e mostrar, mesmo que de forma superficial, algumas situações que os envolvem, como cancelamento, a facilidade de se gerar esse cancelamento e como nem tudo é conteúdo.

A história de amor deles começa de forma clichê. Cholo, amigo de Ram (que atualmente está em guerra com Migo), confessa a Ram que gosta de Migo, e pede para que Ram se aproxime dele, para então fazer uma ponte para que ele também possa se aproximar. O que ele não previu é que Ram se apaixonaria perdidamente por Migo, e que mesmo a verdade sobre esse fato vindo à tona, não destruiria o amor dos dois.

Não entendi sinceramente a necessidade de Cholo contar tudo a Migo, entendi menos ainda a reação de Migo, já que ele e Ram estavam bem, e não custava nada ter conversado e se entendido sem maiores dramas.

Migo tem dois amigos, Max, que é um grande namorador, e Andrei, que ama Max secretamente e sofre ao vê-lo com os outros sem conseguir falar sobre seus sentimentos. Quando ele decide revelar tudo, Max não aceita seu amor, pois o vê apenas como melhor amigo. Apesar da dor de vê-lo sofrer, é importante mostrar que nem sempre os amores saem como queremos, e às vezes um pouco de sofrimento é inevitável.

Por último, Chesca, amiga de Ram, e Cassandra, amiga de Migo acabam se apaixonando. Cassandra é mais empoderada e tem certeza de seus sentimentos, enquanto Chesca tem medo e foge, mas logo em seguida volta atrás de seu amor, nos mostrando um raro GL.

Quanto à atuação, vou dar um 7,5, pois todos os atores estavam em seu primeiro trabalho (sim, eu pesquisei), e não fizeram feio, apesar de Leon Eustaquio (Migo) fazer umas caras e bocas estranhas.

A qualidade de produção não é tão boa, mas temos belíssimos cenários e uma ost legalzinha.

Não é a série que eu pretenda assistir outras vezes, mas eu recomendo sim.
