Living your Story on your Terms

Gaya Sa Pelikula's OST is one of the best OSTs in a series or movie. All songs were subtitled so international viewers could understand the underlying emotions of the music.

What I like most about this story is that everybody's flaws and weakness are not judged in an accusatory way. It's like real people, everyone has their good and bad traits. Gaya Sa Pelikula doesn't demonize Karl who is still hanging on the closet door due to fear. Closeted people are still LGBTQ+ individuals and the writer is sensitive to this. Vlad is compassionate, but is out of the closet and is unwilling to live a closeted life and he is entitled to this.

This series is more complicated than it appears on the surface. Questions about coming out and being out, being the lead in your own story and family are given importance. Yes, Vlad's sister, Judit, oversteps and causes a huge problem by backing Karl into a corner. Karl has shown is that when he feels safe, he will tell the truth, like he did to his uncle. He just needs more time than a semester break. Although we heard Anna's story, we didn't hear Judit's. I hope we see what she went through in Season 2.

Hopefully Karl and Vlad will get their HEA in season 2 and they can face their futures together. They have Judit, Anna and Uncle Santi there to support them.
