That's one dynamic. Some Westerners will have your experience. You are still independent with parents living on their own. I hope, though, that they are still around you for long to come. I'm Trinidadian, East Indian by decent, so I've seen both worlds. Indian families (and other Asians) still cling to a lot of the traditions, extended family types being no exception. It's not uncommon for three generations of family to be on one compound. Reading many comments on Gameboys the concept that the more or less adult children (like Cairo) still listen to their parents (his mother in this case) cannot be understood by many. His age is not given, but he drives and has finished high school putting him at at least 18 (I think). Many commenters, also, do not understand why Rocky is providing for his family. Culture is so different between what is considered Western and Eastern.
This is definitely my second favorite Philippines BL so far ( and I am watching them all ). Of course Game Boys…
It's really nice that they took the concept a little differently. Gameboys and Hello Stranger took isolation with the only communications being through technology. Quaranthings has the same basis of isolation, but slightly differently: same household. Love the execution. Wasn't expecting much from this but it is delivering!
I really hope the Philippines start addressing the toxic family dynamics that seem to be prevalent. This show…
Different region, different culture. Western philosophies are so different from Eastern. Pilipino culture, especially, is that mix of Asian and Roman Catholic. The family is a strong bond, transcending age. Most Western cultures will see the children get independence at a certain age, maybe 18. Eastern norms see the children taking care of the family in a more extended family type. And that's just from a family view, not even getting into the same sex relationship thing, especially with the eldest son!
This series was really the gem in the rough. I never expected such a good storyline and acting.
I wasn't expecting Judah to go to Glen so quickly. Wow. It was nice that Rocky tried to give the money back to Lolly. His conversation with his dad was so heartfelt too. Such short episodes yet they pack such a lot! Some dramas have 45-minute episodes and don't say a thing!
Why is the character of Judah getting so much hate? Understand his situation: his mom is not around; he has all the material things; and a grandmother who is trying to change him to what she thinks is right in society's view. He is a complex character. Kyo is doing quite a decent job of it! We all know that spoilt child who we think has everything but is just looking for some love. We are seeing him maturing in this truly short series!
So many coming-of-age stories promise that and fail to deliver. Here we are actually seeing Judah growing as a character.
Doesn't have the madness of the first, but still quite imaginative! It was nice to see the old cast cameo asking Pun to come back to the apartment complex :)
"My Day" is my guilty pleasure BL. I think mostly because it seems to have embraced camp to be perfectly honest.…
Love that term: guilty pleasure. It's campy, bad shooting, bad scenes, yet it's still worth watching. YYY was just pure madness, Gameboys was just sweet and real, but My Day is a mix of the two for good or bad :D

Don't leave us like this!
Hoping to see her in a staring role one day!
