You will cry and you will laugh but mostly...

... you will feel like you are falling in love for the first time

I could tell you this is the best BL I have watched this year, because it is the truth.

I could tell you that both male leads are amazing actors and extremely easy on the eyes, because it is the truth.

I could tell you that you missing this show is a mistake, because it is the truth.

So, instead I am going to tell you what I loved about this show and let you decide on your own if you want to watch it or not.

But first, I would warn you that it takes some time to get used to the online format. This is both the weakest point of the show and it is strongest point.

What I liked:
*The pacing. This is a fast paced show. It moves quickly from one scene to the next, from one event to the next. It is one of the best edited BL series I have watched.
*The acting. There is no one more deserving of an award than... pretty much the entire cast. Elijah Canlas, in my humble opinion, is a top BL actor. Yep, I dare say it. He is as good or better than Gun Atthaphan. It is amazing what Kokoy and Canlas pull off here. There is a particular scene in which Cairo and Gavreel fight that I remember thinking to myself, OMG this is so realistic that I am uncomfortable watching it, just like you feel when two people argue in front of you. There is another scene in which Cairo's world comes crashing down on him while Gavreel watches from afar. Both actors convey the emotions so perfectly.....
*The story. It is at times cliche but at times refreshing. It is as though they took the BL playbook and turned it on its head. But overall, this is probably my favorite love story after Love Sick and Love of Siam.
*The music. Ngayon still makes me cry to this day... and the other songs are pretty catchy. Watch the MVs! They are all pretty good!

What I didn't like:
*The cellophane kiss. You will know when you watch.
*They added some last minute conflicts to keep the plot going a couple of episodes past their original end date. It was OK overall because the story was beautiful but I think it could have been trim down by one or two episodes.
*Adriana So's Pearl gets her own story now (see Pearl Next Door) but I wish they had given her a bit more of her own story in this show.

So go watch it, if you haven't! You are missing out on some great story telling and a beautiful love story!
