Relatable , Important but Messy

This drama is a bit hard to rate, partly because it is cut and shot kind of artistically messy... There is probably meaning behind the editing just that I do not really get it... Some of the shots are gorgeous but most of them are just oddly cut giving you the constant feeling of being in a messy room that you want to clean... + a little bit to much drunkeness and drugs for me to feel comfortable... But I think part of the point of this show is to make viewers feel just that really uncomfortable and that they achieved in abundance

The characters in this drama are real relatable human being full of flaws that reminded me or people I used to know... I loved Ruth and would love to see more of her story and her potential love interest in a rom com... I also loved YeYe she is artistic, fun, flawed and really the type that is hard to be friends with but you can not help but love.

There are a lot of hints about the characters development, experience and relationships but it feels like we only get a very small part of their story leaving a little bit to much to the imagination and yes making it a bit hard to follow... there is also a lot of rap. music which is not really my cup of coffee but for those who enjoy rap this is probably pretty goos (I would not know...).

The drama has lots of funny and powerful lines, not enough to compensate the mess but enough to make it worth a watch!

Most of the social issues mentioned here are pretty universal, even if not always to the extent shown in the drama since laws and resources differ from country to country but many of the issues are still the same making it relatable even for those on the other side of the world from Manilla.

So yes worth watching just mind the mess and the drugs...
Also low bingabilaty but high lovability...
