The Boyfriend Express (2026)

Surprisingly entertaining!

Shockingly, this series is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. And it frankly does not deserve the low ratings it is garnering on several other review sites. In essence, it is unexpectedly entertaining. And surprise! The story is a good one. I found the premise certainly different and piqued my interest. Why it fell from grace is that it kept repeating the same plot themes over-and-over again. It is the direction again that brought this series down. While not as salacious as some of the other Filipino BLs by the same director, its story could have clearly been a more rewarding one, if more energy was spent on embellishing its theme. Too bad, honestly. This series really does deserve a 'look see' despite all the negative comments here.

Elite Face Cards, Same Aki, but Where’s the Spark?

The Boyfriend Express serves the exact same vibe and formula we always expect from Oxin Films, plus the entire cast is full of serving face. Aki Torres proves once again that he is the ultimate face of the studio, bringing his usual acting style and distinct screen presence that fans know so well. However, even if everyone looks so good, the chemistry between the main leads feels a bit soso and safe this time around. It really misses that super intense, natural spark that Aki had with his previous partner in My Day. At the end of the day, it is a very polished and visually pleasing watch that relies heavily on pure star power.
