Real Life ... heartbreaking ... hits home
Okay first off I am probably real late in watching this drama... but OMG I am not sorry I started and ended this in the day.
Firstly this drama for me was real life with the pandemic still at large in many places. And I am sure that we have all lost someone dear and loved by us, and also witnessed the strength of many who have pulled through. So hats off to the writer/producer/ML/ and screen writers/ and all those who made this drama real and emotional and heartbreaking.
The backdrop of the drama is centered around the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect world wide, particularly in the Philippines. The main characters find themselves on mandatory lockdown by the government and must spent majority of their times indoors. Cairo, a self-proclaimed gamer and a nerd, spends his day doing live broadcast, amassing a following that include the cheeky and always smiling Gavreel —who we later learned has been following Cairo’s live streams after the death of his grandmother and went into depression-and develops a crush on the gamer.
This drama touched on a lot of things, but for me the most amazing part was the way that Mental health, guilt/blame, and forgiveness took center stage.
Pearl- Wow, Pearl was literally my favorite female character not just in this series, but possibly ever. She was the shipper female friend that was there for the couple, defended them, but also knew when not to interfere with their love lives. She had a strong sense of right and wrong and would even argue with her best friend on Cairo’s behalf if she thought he did something wrong. My favorite quote of hers is “if you did something stupid don’t use mental health as an excuse, own up to your mistakes make up for it and don’t do it again”. She literally made this drama and I loved her positive attitude throughout this drama, she had a sense of security but at the same time always made sure everyone was safe, she also knew when or sign off when the guys need there time, she truly was the star of the drama.
This is an amazing BL series , maybe one of the best BL series not just from the Philippines but from all over. Thank you so much for this, and the fact it centered around what is currently happening, makes this drama even more real and realistic.
Love can be found anywhere
