Beautiful series

The first time I saw YT recommend this series, I didn't pay attention to it. But then I saw people here talking about it and that got me curious about GameBoys that I decided to give it a go. And I must say...I am glad that I did as it did not dissapoint it!

Story-10/10
With the simple story of two boys meeting online as Gav beat Cario to evolve into them falling in love with one another (Gav had a crush on Cario) to them dealing with jealous ex-boyfriend's, the death of Cario's dad, meeting each other for the first time, jealousy and abandonment issues- these boys went through all of this and set in the background of COVID-19. They had me crying for them during thier pains, trying to be like Pearl telling them 'get back together, you knuckle heads!' And just seeing how everything played out. And it was done beautifully and realistically.

Also, I would like to add, I felt the kiss here more than in a recent Thai BL that finished this Friday, cause it was a part of thier story- not something just added to apparently appease fans who were furious from the first season due to the lack of kisses.

Acing/Cast- 10/10
All of the actors were phenomenal. Even Terrence and Wesley, who I have a small hatred for cause of them destroying the happiness of my boys. Cario's mom and brother were a breath of fresh air, as they understood what he was going through. I am so grateful in having such positive family members in a BL series, cause some Thai series don't have this and it annoys me.

I LOVED Peral! In the beginning when we are introduced to her, I must say I didn't fascinate her. But as the series progressed, for me she was like us fans, trying to get Gav and Cario together, because you know how much they care for eachother. And in the final episode when Wesley and Terrence were flirting, her reaction was exactly my reaction!

The actors who played Gav and Cario did a fantastic job and I hope that they get more roles in the Philippines.

Music-10/10
The music is top notch that it has me signing along with it!

Rewatch Value-10/10
Although this show made me cry a lot, I would watch it again and cry some more. Everything about this series was perfect that I actually feel to binge watch it very soon.

Overall-10/10
This is the first series that I would recommend to anyone who wants to watch a BL series, even overtaking SOTUS. I love this series so much that I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.
