Living with someone becomes a challenge of patience for Karl, especially that Vlad is not fulfilling their agreement on the chores. Can they survive cohabitating with one another? (Source: Globe Studios Youtube Channel)
always in drama to completely opposite personalities…
always in drama to completely opposite personalities end up together and i get the "opposite attract" in theory but in reality in the long run that takes a lot of work too work. so i don't see the mains staying together cause Vlad is a slob who will always revert to being a slob and Karl is a bit OCD and with that it just get's worse with age u don't lighten up and say lets enjoy being messy. so yeah this is great to watch BUT as being a bit OCD myself, would murder anyone like Vlad, if i was rooming with them - as a neat freak, the clothes everywhere, the dirty dishes, etc... and OMO the worst offence, if i woke up like Karl - when i didn't have to, cause of someone else alarm and saw that mess - i would take that plushie-whale and smoother the fool, end of drama XD ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Vlad go to contacting and trying to room with his ex is an indicator that he not over that mess and is ready to slip back into that destructive relationship. not a great indicator he ready or should be in a new relationship. he needs a breather to be by himself and grow - mend and then look for love IMHO
Cat and Dog tsundere reminiscent of Han Ji-eun Lee Young-jae from the Korean drama Full House (2004).Establishing their new domestic set up, Karl imposes house rules. Being hooked up to the drama of such mundane scenes, they are interlaced with unexpected sweetness. Invading each others private space struck a nerve rooted from childhood experiences and current dilemmas.Side characters are pivotal for Karl and Vlad to eventually reconcile ,to make a better space for each other. Comic relief here shifted with their assumed relationship. Also, as Karl navigates the unknown, the humiliation seems to toned down his authoritative approach with Vlad. Both are fun to watch.
Karl tried to communicate better as he sympathized with Vlad's struggles even as a rich kid.
The conversation between Karl and Judit made me like Karl a lot more. It showed his maturity juxtaposed against the immature fight he just had with Vlad, which demonstrates the truth behind his words to Judith about the process of learning to live with another person. I think that scene was really well done, although Judit makes me extremely uncomfortable. I really hate it when people tell couples to kiss. "You gays give me life" made me physically cringe. I hope over the course of the show Judit has some character development in this regard. Loved Vlad asking consent to kiss Karl's cheek! I like Anna a lot so far, and am interested to see what part she'll play moving forward. I also want to mention that Vlad's reaction to getting rejected from the film program was extremely relatable. Acting like he's not upset by it to avoid upsetting people who would worry about him, but negative feelings building up side of him until he lashes out? Trying to do something nice for Karl in an effort to put himself in a better mood and feeling worse when it doesn't work out? On the dot. And I think the ongoing waffling with his ex is interesting and realistic - like he knows going back to him isn't a good idea, but there's always something comforting in going back to what you know - even when you know it's bad.
OVER THE BOARD KILIG REALNESS. But the highlight of this episode is Pao's acting in the end, it conveyed so much emotion while delivering zero lines. BRAVO
As Karl and Vlad get to know more of each other, we were also informed of their backgrounds and what are they coming from. The episode featured the initial conflict between Karl and Vlad as they try to live with each other. Judit's character also brought a character that is very much interesting to follow through the series (hoping until next season). Her support of Vlad's sexuality is visibly shown but the fact that she also shows signs of what may be considered as a problematic ally-ship is a topic for another day. Also, I would just to highlight that this series was very exceptional in making product placements seem natural with the story. I am living for Karl's reaction upon learning that he was referring to the condoms.
Episode 3 was another good Gaya Sa Pelikula episode! Like previous episodes, it was a slow burn -- started slow but develops into something strong halfway through till the end. I think the entire series will also be like that. If you step back a bit, you'll realize that in three episodes, other than the super cute and funny moments, the main plot/storyline hasn't progressed that much. The build up's kinda slow but it's ok because we expect something great halfway through till the end of the season. Screenplay was consistently impeccable. Acting by the lead actors was generally ok. While Judit's domineering attitude and constant meddling were getting annoying, Adrienne was still funny as always. Yesh who played Anna (who first appeared on Episode 1) and Justine who portrayed Sue were good additions to Episode 3. Good production value was maintained on this episode. Cinematography which perfectly showcased expression and movement was great. Editing was just ok. The OST "Selos" (Jealousy) by the vowels they orbit, while not originally made for the series, was apt for the last scene. On the whole, I enjoyed this episode and I'm looking forward to the succeeding episodes.
