so having binge watched this drama i'm left baffled as to why everyone else in the comment section was so elated. and yeah the story was cute and it's great that everyone of the BL's coming out of the Philippine's isn't the same baseline story/plot that has a miniscule twist. here every story is unique and the actors give it their all - in spite of their true sexual orientation.
but that doesn't always mean the character's r good / root - worthy (if that's a word) like Kian, from the word go - u get he is a spoilt brat, he is the apple of his parents eye - and even if they r at that sec having a minor problem - it isn't cause they hate him, so he can act-up and chose to go "lick his wounds" in their village villa, like the immature baby he is - as he doesn't have to fend for himself - he has a live in nanny in the shape of Aron.
who is a kid just like him - but has had a polar opposite life and upbringing to Kian. they might be the same age, but cause of the way they grew-up, Aron seems decade's older. yet in spite of all the hardships he had to endure All Alone he is a well rounded, good, thoughtful, kind individual - can't say the same for Kian, who has been so overindulged, it has prevent him from maturing and acting like a freakin adult -

so even as a Bromance this falls short as Kian is all about Kian, treating Aron as a joke - at the best of times a play thing not a friend or equal - and at worse time as "the help" that needs to know his place. and we have to be elated cause Aron has a soft spot - cause of childhood memories? when Kian didn't even have the decency to visit his so called friend, one he claims is "cherished by him" so much when his only family member (father) died??. only now does he find out that Aron's father committed suicide - and this boy had to deal with it all alone - and Kian is worthy to be called a friend - let alone a good one?!? k

the only reason i would come back to watch a second season, is so i can see Aron achieving something and getting successful - he has lived a hard life from childhood - and as i mentioned, he is a beautiful individual inside and out - he deserves something good happening to him. and as in the last episode he gets a scholarship, something that will enable him to follow his dreams and make something of himself - not rot in that village and become a caretaker like his father to Kian's parents farm. and at last Kian also showed a spec of maturity, when he told Aron to follow his dream - so at least that was some kind of saving grace and maybe an indicator that Kian will start to grow-up (fingers crossed)...
