I feel bad for the actors. The extent they're willing to go (THEY HAD SEX FFS) for the show is so commendable, but they're simply given a poorly written material to work with. You can tell that they respect their craft, but there's nothing respectable about the script nor the story they're given.
Sure, y'all can argue that it's like "Disney" and it's not meant to be realistic, but they immediately had sex after that one date? That's not realistic for "newly awakened" gays.
I love this series and I’m enjoying it. But I agree with you on the acting, it needs a bit more work. But they’re…
I agree with all you said. It's good if you take it for what it is: a cliche romantic comedy. And that's okay. No one's saying it's racing for the awards except certain fans (thus, I said it's a bit overrated). It's not bad, by any means (even tho napasubok ako sa commenter sa taas my goodness)
Overrated in comparison to which show, exactly? I’ve been watching BL shows since last year and this one blew…
Lmao, again with the assumption that you're the one in the right. Needlessly tiring? But here you are. Why? Because of the faux superior complex you have right now. You simply do not have the gall to admit that other people can have a valid opinion that's different than yours (which, btw, can both be right! What a concept. Adults ACTUALLY having a difference in opinion and being okay with it? Unheard of!)
Everything that's not consistent with your ideologies must be wrong then! I have to laugh. Deriving a conclusion from a bs (how is it bs? Explain please) opinion that came from me? HAH! It's called a cop-out. You're backpedaling because you got caught making an absolute fool out of yourself. I make an opinion in a place where comments are asked. You commented, which is YOUR prerogative. That's fine. I comment back, which I am also entitled to do so. And now you're trying to reduce every valid thing I say as something that's bs? Just because it's natural human behavior to be defensive over something that's (CLEARLY) dear to you doesn't empower you to belittle other people and invalidate what they said. Puh-lease.
Talk to me when you get your head out of your ass and you learn some humility. Adieu

1. Dont put words in my mouth because I never mentioned any other show. More than that, never did I mention that GSP is garbage.
2. In comparison to other BLs, yes, it's good. But that's because the standards for BLs are typically low lol. We're talking relativity here and of course it's better. It doesn't take away the fact that imo, it's still overrated i.e. people rate it as 10, when I think of it as 7.5ish. That's the literal definition of overrated.
For the record, I think a lot of BLs are overrated. Call me picky or whatever, but that's what *I* (MY opinion, MY thoughts, MY conception of how the show is) think. I, unlike you, am not trying to shove down other people's throats my own opinions - something I have the right to have, last I checked. Reread EVERYTHING I said and check if I said anything about changing people's thoughts. Nope, you won't see it because I wouldn't dare to. I understand people's tastes are different so that's why I literally said LET'S AGREE TO DISAGREE. You should chill out yo.
3. YOU do not say it's competing for the laureates, awards, etc. It doesn't mean that OTHERS do not. The way people hype it up? You're clearly one of the more rational fans because the people I meet beg to differ and say that this one's a masterpiece. Maybe for them, it is. Not me.
4. Yes people are tired. So am I lol. How is this connected to what I said? Again, look back to what I said. I said it's overrated and overhyped, not bad. Get it right.
You think you did something with your comment. Get off your high horse

The show seemed derivative and performative to me. The lines, while iconic and true, seem unnatural. Pao's (Karl) acting need work. Judit with no H joke is getting old, plus her invasiveness is kinda cringe.
BUT, hear me out. I do appreciate the show for what it is and what it's trying to do. I LIKE it, but I think it's much too overhyped (prolly because Ian is a gift from the gods). If you take it as a romantic comedy and not overcomplicate it, it's good. I appreciate the show.
Regarding the 9 day thing, yes it's impressive, and I dont want to take anything away from them because it's obviously so hard given the pandemic. But that doesn't eliminate the shortcomings of the show, but only merits some allowance for these lapses.
I rated the show 7-8 which is okay.
If you don't agree, I respect that. It's a subjective matter and it's fine to agree to disagree
I feel like it's a bit overrated imho. It's not BAD, but I think they need a bit more work on the acting department. Ian's acting (and his face. And fine, his body, too lmao) remains to be the best thing about this show
Sure, y'all can argue that it's like "Disney" and it's not meant to be realistic, but they immediately had sex after that one date? That's not realistic for "newly awakened" gays.
They're so nice to look at, though
