Saan, Sana Tayo sa Himig ng Musika (2021)

melancholy and the music

This review was written in English and Portuguese.

I think the strongest points of this show are the melancholy and the music, I'm actually happier with their performance improvement than satisfied with the show itself. I really hoped that 7 episodes would captivate and hold, but it's a weak show. The script, the story is so meaningless, but that's okay. I won't watch it again and I may even forget it in a few days, but I'll look for the ost on spotify and I'll listen a lot. I hope to see more of their performance in the future in a better story.

Eu acho que os pontos mais forte dessa serie são a melancolia e a musica, eu estou realmente mais feliz com a melhora de atuação deles que feliz com a serie em si. Realmente esperava que com 7 episódios cativasse e prendesse, mas ela é uma serie fraca. O roteiro, a historia é tão sem sentido, mas tá tudo bem. Não assistirei outra vez e pode ser até que eu esqueça em alguns dias, mas procurarei a ost no spotify e escutarei bastante. Espero ver mais da atuação dos dois no futuro em uma historia melhor.

A Disappointment

The acting in this is very good. Both leads do a good job. The OST is good, but overused on very high volume. It's filmed decently and the overall production quality is fine.

But the story... it's a BL because of Ep 6, but that's about it. Other than that it's mostly two guys talking about their girlfriends, including the very last scene, which is between one of them and his girlfriend. BL has a weird obsession with straight guys.

I like slow-burn relationships, but there is really almost no burn at all - until suddenly they're on fire. The final episode was entirely getting in and out of cars and the gf meeting, and the ending was mystifyingly open. If you're going to make us slog through this, at least let's have a nice payoff, not an abrupt ending with no closure.

I really got no pleasure out of watching this and I can't recommend it.
