Three Stars

and we r back on track, even enjoyed the conversations between Ronin and his bf (it felt real, and not a parody of how a serious relationship between adults looks like - which was totally the case until now). and the friends always rushing to come to each other's aid, is very sweet but can be a bit overbearing - they totally intrusive and most of their rules r a bit ridiculous, let alone Nicole rushing to enforce them like some fanatic, is overkill. but when it counts they do help, so i guess the bad is overshadowed by the good. Otep for sure is justified in his anger and jealous, i liked that he didn't back down just cause the troop's "descended" cause Orion flirting from the word go, and it aint even lowkey - the fact everyone saying "oh Orion" he safe is crap - cause Otep not delusional. anyone would get angry at the way he was going on with Tau (if we were dating Tau) that was taking friend's into the friend's with benefit's territory. and i don't get how Tau doesn't think that's weird - so i think Orion really being into Otep , would be one hell of a twist and hilarious to boot.. then wonder how Tau would react - side note: the flashbacks in this drama r just ridiculous, if this was a sequel to a previous season and we needed a reminder cause time has passed, i would get it - but just watched this a sec ago (yeah i'm binging) so it's worse. and even if when it aired there was a weeks gap between ep's - what viewer's goldfish?!? ugh

In Between (2020) Episode 11: Lihim

I enjoyed Episode 11: Lihim. It didn't really resolve Otep's reasonable jealousy of Tau and Orion but at least there was development on the Pangs ship front. I like the Pangs ship and it seemed to be going somewhere on this episode. Both Renshi and Lance are adorable and I would love to watch their spin-off series. But for now, for In Between, at least the Boom Harot gang, as per the cliffhanger, will soon find out about Nin's secret (lihim). I like the Boom Harot gang. They remind me of the Young Padawans of Hello Stranger. Having supportive friends is really important especially if you're gay living in conservative Philippines. I'm also looking forward to Nin's conversation with Tau and Otep about their readiness to face judgements and unfair treatments from society as teased on the trailer for next week's episode. All in all, Episode 11 was a satisfying episode.
