Entertaining BL: in the Entertainment Industry
One of the best parts of this Pinoy BL series is its siting in the music industry. You get a feel for the pressures that the characters feel (in addition to their romantic pressures) and the music tracks are quite good! (I came away from every episode humming...... Love, Love Love.) So kudos for originality.
The story line was not quite so original......handsome lead is sexually confused. Gay colleague falls in love with him, and suffers heartache as a result. Etc etc.
The actors were fresh. Not all very polished, but good to watch. (I learn from a Youtube interview that Danny and Rico are actually a committed gay couple in real life.....and in that interview they talked about the difficulties of Danny having passionate kissing scenes with Aiden while Rico (Louie Gabarda) is on set. Interesting angle.) Danny's character was by far the most conflicted and the one with whom I had the most empathy. Aiden's challenges never seemed realistic to me. (It was pretty obvious that he didn't love his girlfriend anyway.)
Like another reviewer here, I really regretted that the Josh and Jamie relationship didn't go anywhere......Josh sparked my interest early on and I was sorry that story line wasn't more developed. (Maybe in Season Two?)
The production values were only so-so. Money was clearly an issue. Thankfully they did not skimp on developing the music.
