Jojowain o Totropahin (2021) Episode 1: Alaala (Memory)

Episode 1: Alaala (Memory) had several weaknesses. The plot/storyline about two childhood friends appeared quite simple. On this episode, several effeminate gay characters were relegated to being the comic relief that lacks character depth. Screenplay needs to be more conversational. There were repetitive lines (between the sisters) and cheesy lines (between the childhood friends). In terms of acting, Neil seemed alright (it's difficult to gauge yet because of minimal dialogue on this episode), but the rest of the actors need improvement. Audio-visuals were poor. There were abrupt background music changes that weren't suitable for the scenes. Soundtrack "Tamang Oras" (Right Time) by Romcel Brinquis and Lemuel Bernales was at least good. Overall, this episode wasn't a good premiere episode. I hope this Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series gets better in succeeding episodes.
