TRAILBLAZER, INNOVATIVE and every fancy word that links to PHENOMENAL

Will drop my review after episode 13 so let me just say that if you have not seen it yet, you better watch it now since you're missing out on something great. For now let me drop these important points:

● BABY
● OST is always on point
● Even the title also makes its way to the narrative of every episode
● You would want to watch it while it's still on the works, the community is fun to be with on different social media platforms
● Every episode is breathtaking
● The way the series was filmed gives way for the viewers to be part of the narrative rather than just being the audience
● The main cast's filmography from Elijah Canlas, Kokoy De Santos, Adrianna So, Kyle Velino and all the supporting roles are amazing to say the least. Some of them have been part of an MMK episode and the two main leads are not strangers when it comes to indie films. Acting wise I'd say that they gave justice to their characters
● Directed by Ivan Andrew Payawal
● I'd give the story a 100% and this is all thanks to the very talented writer of GAMEBOYS, sir Ash Malanum.
● The fact that the series was made to run with only 4 episodes turned to 10 and now extended to 13 says a lot to how well received the series is by fans and just people who come across it.
● Very lovable characters, you will hate some but just in the moment where hate is needed.
● Character development arc.... YES!!!
● Redefining the BL GENRE is an understatement when in reality it's also redefining what "new normal" means during this pandemic. You would see countless reimagined ways of doing ordinary things and it's very realistic... INNOVATIVE is the word!
● We stan ideafirst company as much as the actors and that's a fact. The main purpose of GAMEBOYS was to actually just give jobs to the people working for them and now it has become more than that.
● All this during this pandemic, instructions are given by the crew through video calls and the rest is up to the cast on how they will execute it. Mostly no face to face acting instead they rely on the other person's voice to give their reaction aided by the directions given by sir Ivan and yes they managed to pull it off. Hearing this info came in as a shock for me as well since it's really that good.
● Watch their interviews, let me say fan service when it's needed or not? Honestly I don't know if they are joking or serious during interviews so you get to decide what
● The process involved in the whole production is outstanding, right from the directing up to the set design by sir Nestor.

There's actually more than I can compose but I'll leave it to that for now. You'd think I'm overhyping this series but in reality it's not even getting the hype that it deserves. Many more people should see it, it's more than just a series, it has become the story of so many people out there struggling and facing different circumstance during this tough times. The very first to tell the story of this pandemic with justice and confidence. Many are calling it as a woke series or a woke BL and I think it's deserving of that title 💯
