Can a person change their destiny?

Recently, the Philippines has shot many BL series, but only a few of them are worth watching. And this film is one of them.
The plot is pretty simple, but I love the way the idea is presented. In general, this film is excellent. The author raises the question of the subordination of fate to man. The eternal question .. Everyone wants to find a person destined by fate, but can a person write his own fate? What if fate is for, and you are against? A chance meeting. Misunderstanding. And the answer to all these questions will be found...

The pleasant atmosphere of the school and "travel", which is accompanied by wonderful songs, touching to the depths of the soul, is felt on each minute of the film. The plot contains both drama and positive sweet moments that will not let you get bored... I would like to put a special emphasis on music, as it made a great impression on me. I believe that all the songs present there perfectly complemented what was happening on the screen and helped to understand the situation even more deeply. The only thing I didn't really like about this movie is the behavior of the characters. Maybe I just don't like male characters with "feminine" behavior. But despite this, I watched this film with pleasure and even cried at the end. The ingenious ending emphasized the main idea in the best way possible. I don't understand why there will be a sequel ...

Brilliant and Phenomenal Movie

This was a simple story of serendipity, perhaps fate, and/or destiny. You choose. This was mostly a story with, for, and about teenage boys who fall in love with teenage boys and they alone must resolve their own dilemmas. How this story ends is, for me, a cinematic triumph and has to be experienced personally. So, I leave that up to you. The brilliant mixture of the Catholic Church with fortune-telling and destiny is brilliant and makes this movie so special and unique.

A celebration of teen gay love! <3

That ticket was soo worth it! I love the representation here. There were little hiccups (just teeeny) in acting and transitions but the story and the viewing experience made up for all of it. Hope it will be curated in Netflix for wider audiences and/or be streamed legally for free the soonest.

I am glad the writers did not go the religion vs gender theme and had limited the homophobic scenes. The story really focuses on the two mains and their love story. I don't know if there will be a sequel for this or a serialized version if this will be successful, but if there will be, I think they will focus on the consequence of Luke's choice. But for now, this one is a celebration of gay love.

AMAZING QUEER REPRESENTATION

I've recently just watched this movie upon seeing it on my For You page in Tiktok and I don't regret watching it AT ALL. It was such an amazing movie about two high school boys falling in love despite their situation in an all-boys catholic school as well as one of the main characters having really homophobic friends. The lines and script for the movie was amazing and eye opening and it felt like actual conversations from actual queer people, it was really incredible. The shots used in the movie was amazing as well that even if it looks really simple, it's the most romantic thing you will ever see I don't know how but they really make it work. Lastly, this movie had AMAZING queer representation especially with the main character being an effeminate gay person along with his two other friends, it just feels refreshing to see such a feminine character being the main lead for once I really appreciate it so much I don't think I've ever felt represented in a bl before except for this one. Overall, this movie is literally a 10/10 I highly recommend you guys to watch it if you haven't or if you're planning on it! Thank you for reading my review this is the first review I ever did hihi <3

Average !!!

I had some questions while whatching the show

1. During the class : religious father/brother ( who talks about love), he speaks as if homosexuality is perfectly normal and catholic church supports it .... Really??? As far as i kmw catholiccs show highest discrimination towards LGBTQ community.
2. Are dominic and his 2 other close companions effeminate gays ? Or are they all 3 Ladyboys ( transgender)??. They always address each other as SIS ,wjich means they identify thrmselves as girls.
But dominic tells luke that he is Gay .
What i dont understand is , ... are these 3 kids confused by identyfying themselves as gays inspite of being ladyboys ? Or the script writers do not know the difference between gay and transgender?
3. Dominic seems to be very pious and preaches catholic morals and doctrines especially to luke during the paired couples discussion at night
The same dominic approaches a fortune teller time to time to know about his soulmate . He looks a confused kid .
