Do not pass on this series!

Another excellent product from the Philippine BL industry. I can't find anything to dislike about this series other than the episodes are too short and there aren't enough of them. I don't know where it will end but I'm ready for a sequel. It's that good. Even though the sets, the costumes, the props, the music , the cast, the acting are all top notch. I just have to single out the music which so perfectly moves the story along. The two leads capture you and hold you close. They draw you to them. You relate to the character; the sad, rejected and lonely one and the confused, unsure and insecure other. You immediately identify with the brave front they put on. You want to reach out and comfort each of them.

If the brown out / prom dance sequence doesn't bring tears to your eyes you are made of stone.

Ian's "Vlad" is perfectly played. You sympathize but not pity. Paolo's "Karl" reminds us all of our times lacking confidence. Both of these men are going to make serious waves in the acting community going forward. If I had to pick just one to kidnap and take to a mountain retreat someplace it would have been Paolo. As good as Ian is, and he is very good, Paolo resonated with me the most.

Watch and enjoy.
