I still wanted more Zafar!!!

I want a spin-off with Zafar!

I really don't like him in these damsel in distress roles. He is a great actor: give him some variation! He is playing twins in Not Me and doing a bang up job with both personalities!

OMG! This is the very definition of a lakorn! all that heavy breathing, all that dramatic drama!

I want more Zafar!!! Apollo is just enjoying hamming it up!!! That evil laugh!!!

That being said, My prince is returning to Zurmania. Does My Prince not have advisors? Does My Prince not have an army behind him? Can't the team and My Prince not hold a press conference in the very lobby of The Grand (seeing that that's the Zerbanian Embassy at this point?) Are they just going to enter Zurbania with no real plan My Prince?

(Hope anyone reading this sees the overuse of My Prince. Trying to speak like a Zerbanian.)

The scene in the cafe in ep.8 could have been so much but the adlibbing of the actors! Was thre really no script?

Amusing or funny? :D

Maybe the instability in leadership in Zurbania is affecting the area around The Grand in Manilla?

The genuing laughs from the cast, and, although, they do look at the crew for the most part they stayed in character.

No better or worse than Oxin's other fully featured drama My Day. :D

Exactly! If the actors weren't ready to kiss you need not do that! Some hand-holding, or a nice forehead touch would have sufficed. The point of that scene was for Marcus to see Art and Mickey in a tender moment.
Two amazing kisses in Pinoy BL were in Gameboys and Gaya Sa Pelikula. Those felt very earned and real! The writing is bad, but I'm still blaming the Director for most of the crap here with his crappy decisions . . .

Script is one thing, but directing is another. A good director can work with a not so great script and still come up with something acceptable and not just a major joke.
Yes, just like with SciFi where we saw the move to more political intrigue with the space and monsters being just there in Battle Star Galactica vs Ster Trek: Enterprise, this could have gone from the point of the coupe to the BL side much better. The concept was original for the BL world, the execution not so much.
I wonder if a civil war in Z will spillover to the lobby of the Grand Hotel?

There was such a missed opportunity to have the double entendres be errors in translating Zeyn's English (?) to Tagalog. That would have made them more funny and feel real.

More Zafar! Apollo seems to be having such a good time hamming it up!
Goodness. I'm not a director, but Xion needs to really learn how to do his job! Such high production values, but the acting really, really lets it down! What's wrong with doing second takes?

Zerbania has an honour system for it's dungeons?

This had so much potential to be one of the best BL's of the year. Oxin really dropped the ball here. Scenes like Malik and Ken at the cafe were well done, only to get the scene of the Zerbanian blackmailing the Prince!

It was utterly funny. The bangs were real. Dovee laughing was from a real place. Any second takes would never get that response!

Might as well relocate the entire Royal Palace to The Grand, Manila, and rule the kingdom from there!

It's hot in the Phillipines! (But slips under the covers)

Oxin has a way of doing this. My Day was royally bad (excuse the pun) but had us hooked too!
