How I Let You Go (2021) Episode 1: Online Class

Promoted as "not a typical BL series," I can't help but ask, is this even a boys' love (BL) series? Will there be some kind of romance at least? A plot/storyline about a boy lamenting about letting go of his love for another boy (who weren't even shown on Episode 1: Online Class), can hardly qualify as a BL series. But I'll suspend my judgment until the finale. Anyway, given the seemingly unrelated scenes, this episode felt a bit disjointed. Screenplay didn't really excite. Fortunately, Harold's acting was decent. Audio-visuals need massive improvements. While not originally composed for this series, I liked the soundtrack "Siguro" (Maybe) by Chierald Tan. All in all, I hope this series gets better in succeeding episodes.
