A BL to start off with on Filipino BLs..

I've had had my share of watching many cdramas, kdramas and Thai / Chinese / Japanese / Filipino BL as well, so in terms of story wise it was really predictable for my part to guess what will happen in this series. It just feels like this series was made because of the BL Craze in the Philippines in my personal opinion as it feels as though it lacks something you can't explain.

Nothing really major happened just your typical he saw the person he likes with his girlfriend. But if you are looking for some Filipino BL to start off with, then this isn't a bad series to watch..

There were also quite a lot of times when I feel as though the story was being dragged to be longer (it has a lot of fillers in my part, idk how to explain). What I'm more curious about is actually Crystal and Xavier's relationship. I feel like she wasn't given enough screen time in the series as it does focuses more on Xavier and Mico's relationship.

The cast chosen were all okay as well and the two main leads were able to capture their characters as well if they were going to the jock and kind of introverted honour student trope. One thing I particularly liked about this series is the OST, as it is very catchy. I wouldn't actually re-watch it for the most part so I'd give it a 6.5 just to be fair since it is among the first BL the Philippines produced at the time.


This series for me is just an ok series to start off with. We can say that from the looks of it, it has a budget in terms of production and editing, which was actually amazing if you'd recall the piano scene. I would recommend this if you were looking for BL series to start off with.
