Kumusta Bro? (2020) Episode 5: Confessions Overload

A lot of things happened on Episode 5: Confessions Overload. This episode was still generally dragging because of its live and interactive format but at least there was a bit more dynamism in its camera work, acting, and screenplay and there was progression in its plot/storyline. While I've seen comparable real-life revelations in similar social media and streaming platforms, making parts of this episode realistic enough, I must say that I've never really enjoyed watching those live confessions -- which were most probably partly orchestrated anyway. I've always felt awkward knowing that not everyone involved fully consented to having their personal lives revealed in public. So while watching the last scene when Cerwin divulged that he's the ex-boyfriend of both Thirdy and Dean, I really felt weird. I hope there's more to this series than this tangled web of love and relationship among the main characters. Because if this is just about it, with nothing more relevant to say, this series will likely go down for me as among the worst Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series ever produced.
