Daddy Love (2021) Episode 1

Based on cast interviews, "Daddy Love" identifies as a Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series. Because the character of Mark hardly qualifies as a "boy," I initially didn't categorize this series as BL. But because I respect how this series self-identifies, I decided to include this series in the list of Pinoy BL series that we promote and review. Episode 1 was a solid pilot episode. The plot/storyline about an innocent masseur and his experienced client looks promising. The contrast in economic class and social status between Kiko and Mark was well established on this episode. Screenplay was generally realistic and relatable. Acting was on point. Both Rex and Victor fit their roles well. Their sexy and steamy scenes were tastefully done. Audio-visuals were mostly good. The soundtrack "Hiling" (Request) by Malvin Drake Manatad was nice. All things considered, I'm looking forward to the next episode.
