Overlooked Love the Series (2021) Episode 1: Kulbaan (Unease)

While Filipino (Pinoy) producers should be lauded for their efforts at producing Pinoy boys' love (BL) series, they should also be constantly asked to produce better content. Most of the recent offerings have been weak and if "Overlooked Love" doesn't improve, it will remain as a low-tier Pinoy BL series. Episode 1: Kulbaan (Unease) was a poor pilot episode. Plot/storyline appeared superficial. Also, there was an obvious issue of lack of consent when Rafael kissed Miguel, someone he barely knew, while the latter was sleeping. Screenplay wasn't conversational enough. Acting needs major refinements. The actors' performances felt really scripted. They need to be more natural with their acting. The kissing scene was the only part with a modicum of believability. Production technicals also require considerable polishing. The setting was obviously not a house, it's a hostel, so why misrepresent it? Editing, especially scene transitions, needs work. Overall, this premiere episode wasn't a good way to start this series. It's understandable, it's from a new production company. But I sincerely hope this series improves in its succeeding episodes because it would really be a waste if it doesn't.
