Not Happy about the CGI

The story was ok. I feel like there are too many BL lockdown dramas from the Philipines right now, and a lot of other dramas have done it much better.

What brought down the score was that CGI kiss at the end.

A lot of actors these days are willing to jump on the BL bandwagon to get famous or increase their popularity, but they're too straight to kiss a male? Yeah, that's sending the wrong message. Kissing is a part of acting. If they can't do it, don't think they should be taking the roles. The CGI kiss didn't even look real, and you could clearly tell it was fake.

Everything also felt rushed in the final episode.

PS

I might have to take back my review. I've been doing some research, and it seems that there's some kind of censorship for gay kisses on TV in the Philippines. A lot of BLs from major companies didn't feature them or found a way around it. Whereas something like My Day, I think that was only a webseries, and the production company was much smaller.
