Hi! Hello Stranger is a good starter BL for the PH (along with other BLs that are currently airing). I have heard this due to it's high promotions of the company in social media.

STORY: it is a typical enemies-turned-friends type of stories, and while these kinds of stories excites me, I am afraid that they have become stagnant with that. There's no additional, out-of-the box something in the story itself and how it was presented.

ACTING: their acting was okay, but i feel like the acting of the casts do not meet even for a single episode. There is an ep where Xavier is superb and Mico fell flat. There is an ep where Xavier and Mico was good but the friends were flat. And there was an ep where everyone did a good job except for Xavier. I hope that they can be comfortable with each other.

MUSIC: good but nothing special. No original flavor. Though I feel lile the end-credit son represents the whole vibe of the series pretty well.

REWATCH VALUE: I scored it 6.5 because there are times when i say to myself "let's rewatch the past eps" and then another voice inside me keep saying "better not". And there are times when it is actually enjoyable to rewatch. It's not something that you can really enjoy for 6 days while waiting for the next ep (at least for me)

Hello Stranger is a good series! It's still in episode 3 so I hope that they can correct some issues. I wouldnt really change my rating because when I noticed xertain issues, it's hard for me to overlook at those for even the slightest. So this is prolly my rating for this series
