The Best Series in the Gay-themed BL Genre So Far, Ever

This is the second Boys Love series that I have ever rated 10 because it deserves that rating.

Yes, I might have complained about the short number of episodes but the number is justified on how compact, yet impactful the storyline of the series is. I really feel that the storyline is simple as someone who is gay and who has been through this kind of situation or has friends who have experienced the similar situations. However, it's very, very relevant and again, impactful. It has a resonance level to the higher degree and its direction is too superb, the minor flaws I have seen are unnoticeable when the whole art form is taken into consideration.

Editing expertise is very adept. This is one of the biggest factors for the show's success.

Acting of each actor from the main to the supporting is utterly superb. I see the naturalness of the acting of each actor. Viewers of the series, I surmise, can really see themselves in the characters of the series. Despite the actors being unknown before this series, their acting is really surprisingly great.

As for the soundtrack used, this series has the Best set so far. Each song has lyrics that are related to the situations in the series. Each song parallels with the emotions and circumstances of the main characters in certain scenes. I feel like through the series, the hidden musical treasures of the Philippines have been unearthed and showcased in this show for the world to see, hear and zealously listen to.

This is also the BL series that really showcases the reality of LGBTQIA community. As a member of the community, I feel like a part of my story has been demonstrated in this show. There is a sense of empowerment. BL as a form of escapism for some is now used as a platform to relay the voices of the community whose members are still being ostracized in certain societies.

I feel like this review doesn't give justice to what the series has done to the communities, for BL viewers, LGBTQIA and straight allies. I have many things to say about this series but alas, whatever things I would like to share can be summarized with these three words: SUPERB, PERFECTION and IMPACTFUL.
