Okay I totally get it

I can definitely see why this was nominated for an Emmy. The style is super creative. Well done on the director's part. It's not completely unique, but it does a good job of building on some of the great internet-culture-on-screen stuff I've seen before. This is by far the most I've ever seen it incorporated in a show and I think they're doing a good job pulling it off. To be honest this has some of my least favorite tropes in romance, i.e. the good-looking stalker, and the "can't take no for an answer" so I'm kind of ehhh on the story. The acting also is not my fav, but I think overall it's a well made show. The dialogue is sharp. idk that's my reactions so far.

Is it Play with reservation?

As Gav makes his moves and Cai plays hard to get what could be the story unfold? Acting again is superb. May be Cai is playing hard to get. But that is his persona. He is a contradictory person. It must be a challenge for Gav to win the heart of Cai as a living paradox.

Let the Game Begin

This episode has a lot of cheesiness and cringy moments same as other RomComs but the actors made them really natural and entertaining. Kokoy exudes so much charisma and sexiness that he could give over-the-top-lines that will make you giggle. Elijah gives off the innocent and mysterious persona that you know there is more to him that what he shows. We got to know a little more of their backstory and introduced to a new character.

More unraveling of Cai's and Gav's story PLUS a hot scene... well, not really

Cairo and Gavreel are starting to get closer to each other. This episode certainly touches topics, like family, and gives more depth to these characters. And... Queen's debut episode!

We get a better threshed out story now.

The cliffhanger at the end was what sealed the deal for me. I didn't expect that to happen, and made we want to find out more.

okay wow!?? the relevance of the story!

Now we're getting to know more about the boys and i just love the smooth interaction between the two. Cairo seems like he's putting up a wall but somehow slips and we can actually see that he's starting to like and trust Gavreel. I guess the thing that i love the most about this episode is it isn't just about the flirting and all but also shows of what really is happening around us. Just like Cairo, there are a lot of people around the world who is experiencing the same thing, with their love ones being infected by the covid 19.

Gameboys (2020) Episode 2: Game of Love

Episode 2: Game of Love was very good! The plot/storyline developed smoothly. I love the fact that the creators were really situating the storyline in the country's daily struggles during this age of the COVID-19 pandemic. The episode was an emotional rollercoaster with some interesting twists. Acting was topnotch as always. I love how the charming Elijah was able to show a wide range of emotions in this episode. Kokoy doesn't really need to do anything. He's sexy as hell! It's a plus that he's also a very good actor. The banter between them was really cute which is one of the reasons why they have good chemistry. Editing and graphics were also very good. Production value in the previous episode was already good but still they improved it in this episode. There were some subtle product placements though which I'm not comfortable with but I can understand since I know they need sponsors. The product placements were not as blatant compared to how they do it in Thai BL series so I guess it's still ok. Lol! They were also able to incorporate the OST in this episode which is nice. And because the creators listen to their audience, they had a longer running time -- from 10.41 minutes (Episode 1: Pass or Play) to 19.14 minutes (Episode 2: Game of Love). Overall, I super love this episode! I can't wait for episode 3!
