MASTERPIECE

[10/10 · 31 July 2021]

Gameboys The Movie did that! They were able touch certain topics that is relevant in the lives of young LGBTQ+ peeps in the Philippines without being morally imposing. And what's seperate this BL from other Pinoy BL is their topnotch acting.

Props to every member of the Gameboys team. You guys did an exceptional job! This is the gold standard of Pinoy BL.

Gameboys (2020– )

GOD-TIER BOYS LOVE SERIES!!

[10/10 · 21 July 2020]

This Filipino BL Series really paved the way and raise the stabdards for future BL series that I'll be watching.

The episodes are just too cute and it's nearly impossible for anyone not yo get hooked with Gav's (Kokoy de Santos) charm and at thr same time, recognize the acting prowess of the award winning actor Elijah Canlas (playing the role of Cairo) in this series.

Most of the episodes were really kilig or cheesy episodes. But this BL has also successfully tackle relevant social issues like mental health, coming out issues, importance of validation of feelings and social connection to maintain your sanity during lockdown. This is more than just BL. This is a powerful story that can help anyone who is struggling with identity or grief.

I also need to recognize the brilliant minds behind this seriesm the scriptwriter, the director, everyone on and behind the camera. This series would not be perfect if they weren't there.

GUYS!!! YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS. I SWEAR!!!
