Great Start But Quickly Drags (Unfortunately)...

Off to a shaky start. The audio quality is quite bad. The cinematography choices are off-putting and unflattering. The acting is flat and leaves a lot to be desired. Hopefully, the series will get better as it progresses. Not sure why they decided to release the first half of the first episode on a day and the second half a few days later...

The second part of the first episode was much better than the first part as we are introduced to a possible love triangle between Wil, Joey and Jimmy. The interaction between Wil and Joey were quite cute, especially when Wil was hitting on Joey. Not sure why the Madam didn't have Jimmy stay with her though instead of put him in a random stranger's room. Looking forward to the last third of the first episode. Why don't the series just have each part be its own episode? Each part is about an episode length anyways.

Upon watching the last part of the first episode, I'm actually liking this series. There's the introduction of another possible lover in Nuan. So, not a love triangle, but possibly a love square? I love that! The story is cute so far. I LOVE relationships that start as rivals then become lovers. However, there are some illogical plot points, such as how did Joey not know that he grabbed the wrong backpack? And he only realized it when he started taking stuff out of the backpack. Like why did he continue taking stuff out of the bag when he knows that it's not his and that his admission ticket wasn't gonna be in there, even going so far as taking out a condom. Yeah, that didn't make any sense. However, the series is entertaining and I am definitely interested in seeing who Joey will choose: Wil, Nuan or Jimmy (who I hope Joey will choose)!

Upon watching the second episode, I have to say that I love that tension between Wil and Jimmy, especially since it's regarding Joey, who they both share in common. Though many people are rooting/shipping JoeyWil, I am still hoping for JoeyJimmy as I am a sucker for rival-turned-lover stories.

I LOVED the next part (the 2/3 of the second episode)! I love that Jimmy started to be nice to Joey and that he's starting to catch feelings for him! And vice-versa. Though I do like Wil who is a good guy, I do find him a bit selfish, making Joey feel bad for the incident with Jimmy when Joey isn't even Wil's boyfriend. Why should Joey feel bad just because you want him to be your boyfriend? Though the series has a low-budget and cinematography isn't particularly good at times, the story is just so utterly cute, adorable and filled with kilig moments! I cannot wait for the next part and to see Joey and Jimmy interact more!

The last part of the second episode was also enjoyable! I loved the progression of Joey and Wil's relationship! So cute and kilig! Holding hands in the library while studying! My heart! Unfortunately, there wasn't much interaction between Jimmy and Joey though. The minor characters, such as Nuan and the two cross-dressers, are still pretty useless and don't serve any function to the series' plot (so far). Interested to see how a possible pregnancy will affect Jimmy.

In the first part of Episode 3, I was surprised by Jimmy's reaction to the pregnancy. I was sure that he wouldn't want to keep it. I now understand where the baby from the logline of the series will come from. The story is progressing nicely. I LOVED the moment at the kitchen table where Jimmy and Wil kept on trying to make the other jealous. SO MUCH KILIG! I LOVE IT!

The second part of Episode 3 was another entertaining slice! I loved how Jimmy was acting all nice and kind towards Joey's friends and I LOVED the ending when Wil sang to Joey. My heart was full! Not a fan of the addition of another cross-dressing guy who will be used for comic relief though.

Due to its bloated length (30 episodes with 3 parts each), it's no surprise that the series is starting to drag (since Part 2 of Episode 4) where literally nothing happens and scenes gets extended for much longer than they should.

After watching Episode 5, I have decided to drop this series as literally nothing of any substance is happening. Just a lot of boring filler which is no surprise since this series will be 90 episodes total. And no offense to Joey, but why are all these guys lusting after him?
