IMO this has been the best episode so far, and it's been the first that I didn't think was too long. Bruce and Up's acting again was better than the rest - Up is so good at displaying Put's ambivalence. And Saint's acting was quite good this time, too, so I feel a little less guilty that I'm watching this series mainly because of him.
I'm always ready to excuse poor technical quality of Filipino low budget productions because I know how difficult it is to find funding for BL or gay series in the Philippines. But I do expect that there is at least a reasonable script and good acting. There are so many talented actors in the Philippines, and some very good writers, too, but when a guy like Xerxes Damuggo, who has proven that he can act, suddenly seems to have forgotten everything, there's something wrong about the production as a whole.
I watched the uncut version on gagaoolala. The special episodes are listed as ep. 11 and 12 of the regular season.. The censored version is on MFlow's youtube channel.
Aki played in "My Toxic Lover" and "Worth the Wait", which were among the worst Filipino series ever. They were produced by Pepps TV, and one reason of the controversy seems to be - according to some Filipino gossip websites - that Aki signed a contract with Pepps while still under contract with Oxin Films, but that may only be a rumour.
They removed all notices of airing off of their socials/youtube: https://youtube.com/@kmdstudio2022https://twitter.com/world_of_bl_com/status/1665027639118028801?s=46&t=zDqChy7bTkANTl7AHR0YZg
I'm glad that it didn't rain once in this episode, so the stupid "rainy hearing loss" thing didn't come up. Instead, one could focus on the fine acting. Title is great in this series once again, and Suar is perfect as the lazy, sloppy little brother, but Copter beats everybody else.
I'm surprised at myself, because this series has some important things that I don't like, but I still find myself liking it.
It seems the supernatural thing is meant to be the main plot, and I find it more ridiculous than exciting. On the other hand I'm fed up with high school BL series, but here this subplot is more interesting (and better acted) than the story of the main couple (or thruple?). I know that Gun's acting may never earn him an academy award, but I like him here more than in "Golden Blood", and I must admit that I've always had a weak spot for him. But the actor I like most in this show is Bhu who was already amazing in MoD.
Then there is the slow pace that I wouldn't like in another show, but here I do like it because it is used to develop the main leads' characters. It is true that episodes are unusually long, but the overall runtime is the same as in series with 12 episodes of 40 minutes each, so not all that extraordinary.
I'm not sure about where this thing is heading, but I'm curious enough to stick to it to find out about it.
I watched this because - to my own surprise - I missed Run, Tiger, Lee Long, and Tong and their silly little stories. What I got was better than I had expected, as all the irrelevant side-characters are gone, and I got more of what I loved about the series: Run and Tiger's smile, lovey-dovey and even some hot scenes.
I like this because I know some boys who act exactly the way like these two. I don't know any boys who live in a palace and drive around in the biggest Porsche money can buy, so I regard the series where that happens as fairy tales, whereas this one is about life as it is for 99% of people.
It almost feels a little unfair to expose all the other couples in Our Skyy 2 to the one and only Pat and Pran - having their storyline cross over to ATOTS with its power couple makes everyone else in this compilation look even more pale, even Fourth and Gemini although in this case it isn't the actors' fault, but I think the lame script is to be blamed for not reaching the charm of MSP at all.
I watched Ohm for five weeks in "Double Savage", where his acting was good, but here he is so much more natural, which is probably due to Aof's directing and the fact that Ohm obviously feels more comfortable with Nannon.
I couldn't agree more. That's why Oxin's announcement to produce "My Day 3" as the story of Zeke and Fifth feels…
Some of them do act for free, others are the production company's owners's friends or family, and some get their role by funding the production. Dogs are in every Xion Lim series because he breeds them - I wonder why we never get to see any of the horses he owns, but I wouldn't be surprised if in a Fifth Zeke series they would be riding across the jungle.

Subtitles are bad, but main points are understandable.
