Despite minor flaws, one of the most beautiful BL series

In contrast to other reviewers here, I waited until the end of season 2 before I'm writing my review, and it is good I did, because the final three episodes revealed some unforeseen weaknesses of the script, which is one of the reasons why I can't give it full 10 points.

The story sets in where season 1 ended - both Angelo and Damon are angels now, and their obligation is to take care of their respective ex-lovers. So far, so good, so predictable. Unfortunately the explanation who harmed whom in their former lives contradicts season 1 in a major point: It was never mentioned that Damon was raped, and Angelo's guilt also contradicts the way he acted in season 1. Anyway - the message of the series remains the same: love is universal, and forgiveness is the key to happiness and a peaceful rest.

What makes this series so outstanding is the brilliant acting of the entire cast. Kaleb Ong once again deserves a prize for his performance, but all the others are really great, too. Miggy Campbell plays the drunk Anthony very convincingly, and if the Catholic church portrayed God as attractively as Peter Sotiangco, they wouldn't lose so many members.

The sound quality is a major flaw, especially in the most crucial and dramatic scenes when the yelling of the actors is so loud and distorted that it affects the atmosphere. The OST is very similar to season 1, with the return of Howie Day's "Collide".

There are rumours that actors were not paid in accordance with their contracts which were confirmed to me by one of the actors. This leaves an ugly stain on one of the most beautiful BL series of 2022.
