Quaranthings of feelings

This review is intended to share a subjective opinion. In no way is this meant to sway anyone from watching it.

This drama from the Philippines follows the story of two boys "quarantined" in their shared apartment becasue of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While we have been sort of saturated with multiple BL/GL stories from the Phillipines with the COVID-19 backdrop as a main story point, I am grateful that every single one I've watched has exceeded my expectations.

Quaranthings may be the one that seems to have the lowest "production budget" amongst all of the BLs that have come out recently, but that doesn't mean they suffer from bad script or story.

I personally love the complexity of Judah's character and the nuance that the actor brought to him. Many viewers may dislike Judah and dimiss him as a brat, but his range in emotions and his development throughout the story is quite refreshing and relatable.

Rocky's struggles with his sexuality is palpable through some of the scenes.

Honestly, there were some things that could have been left out (like Glenn's scene at Judah's place) to give more time to develop Rocky's story IMO.

Overall, this is a good drama to watch.

The title is aptly named Quaranthings, because these boys Quarantine more than just their bodies from the pandemic,they also Quarantine their feelings.
