I value Lakan ....

I value Lakan mainly because he took us to places unknown to tourists in Nueva Ecija, Luzon. Beautiful nature, primeval forest, homesteads and closed communal communities. Also, that this area is often "visited" by typhoons and monsoons, often with the loss of human lives, which actually happened after the third episode, when filming had to be stopped due to the devastation of the local area. The third episode was marked as 3.1 and was additionally shot, apparently outside the original script, episode 3.2 about this natural disaster, where at the end of the closing credits there is also a short demonstration of how the filming area was affected.
In the first parts, everything develops slowly, the main pair of Caloy-John boys, who are a gay couple in real life, act between the two monsters, the nanny (grandmother) and the niece as two beautiful princes. However, the nanny played her role flawlessly and the monsters gradually "disappeared" from the screens. The music was beautiful, there were a few nice songs throughout, unfortunately I couldn't find them anywhere except the theme song. I think that the series suffered from the forced interruption due to the typhoon and the subsequent presentation of two or three episodes without any subtitles, and a lot of reviewers resented it, and that it is not only for this reason that it is underappreciated on world servers. I thank Karcikarl for "scaring" the subtitles for all the works. We can look forward to both boys in the upcoming project Turbulence, where two gay couples from civilian life will actually play the main roles - from Lakan and BoysBand Love (Gus+Louie).
