    Gav and Cai, love them.

    So I bought a ticket and yes it's worth it. I don't know what to say about these two but to watch them you'd think they loved each other deeply. Their story is beautiful, Pearl is my absolute favorite. I could have done without the side stories but it is what it is. Gav and Cai forever my favorite BL couple.

    some feelings

    The feelings are sincere enough, but the first half of the film is too tired. For an audience who has not seen the drama version, it is a little incompetent to accept it. Until the aunt appeared, the atmosphere of the plot finally returned to normal. On the whole, it was still youth pain growth literature, and there was not much new idea, but their "first time" was very beautiful.

    Even greater than the series

    For that whole year of waiting I was kinda anxious as to whether the new season/movie can actually top all the greatness that Season 1 delivered. And after seeing the movie last night, I am confident to say that it did, it topped it surpassed and went beyond all the kilig, the drama, and all that. The first few minutes were very reminiscent of season 1 and will remind you why you loved the series in the first place, the rest allowed us to see the development in the characters and their relationships. We all know that the main characters can really engage, but i also enjoyed seeing the secondary characters especially if you are like me who loved all that took place in Alt Gameboys 13.5 truly, I'll be a fan of this masterpiece forever. Expect great things ahead for season 2.

    Breathtaking visuals and a captivating story

    It's not very often that we get to see a drama in the Philippines that goes against all the usual tropes of kidnappings, back stabbings, and jealous mistresses. Gameboys had proven even back in 2020 that they can create a story that's both entertaining and relatable for a generation of teens and young adults that suddenly found themselves confined in their own homes. This is a value that they managed to continue in the film, and I absolutely loved it!

    The simple show of domesticity and familiarity felt like home, something that I know very well but still remained exciting and unpredictable. The film managed to break me and heal me in the span of less than two hours. It was beautiful, riveting, and inspiring, and it left me wishing even harder for the characters to find their happy endings.

    It's not just their story. IT'S OUR STORY. IT'S OUR NARRATIVE.

    One of the most beautiful love story that I've ever witnessed - a story of two young people who fall in love and who are willing to sacrifice. I felt all the emotions. Characters are so relatable. I'm so excited to see what will happen to Cairo and Gavreel. Thank you, The Idea First Company. MASTERPIECE.
