Decent (but could have been better)

Story: I actually like the storyline. I thought it was cute, deep, and realistic with how it ended. There were some good messages in this story and I liked that neither character forced themselves in either direction for the other person. Honestly, I was in full angst mode during those last few episodes. Yes, I cried a little and my heart definitely hurt for them. I genuinely liked the two main characters and Anna too.

Acting/Cast: I hate to say it but the acting in this series was average overall. I would say the actors who were on the better end of the spectrum were Paolo (Karl), Ian (Vlad), and Yesh (Anna). Especially Paolo, he honestly did a fantastic job. Sadly, some of the other acting in this series really brings down the rating for me because it would disengage me from the scene. On a positive note, Paolo and Ian's chemistry was AMAZING and felt so natural. They had some of the best kisses or affectionate interactions I've ever seen in a BL. They're definitely up there with some of the best!

Music: This is the area that the show really succeeded in. I really loved all the music used!

Rewatch Value: Personally, I wouldn't rewatch this. I found it hard to get through the first couple episodes, if I'm being honest (mostly because of the cringe moments and awkward acting) but I soon came to really enjoy it once I was three episodes in. Despite that, I still wouldn't rewatch it. I don't like open endings. I don't mind if I only have to watch it once, but it means I won't rewatch it. Not unless another season is released.

Overall: I recommend you give this a go if you like pinoy BLs, have run out of BLs, or it interests you! It's not that long so if you didn't end up liking it, it wouldn't be wasting a lot of your time.
