I've been wanting to see this series for so long and finally watched it in one go.

I've been a fan of Kokoy Santos since the time i watched Gameboys and honestly, the boy does not disappoint. As much has he was the adorable, flirty and fun loving yet sentimental character in Gameboys, confident of his sexuality, in this one, he plays the polar opposite with equal aplomb.

The drama starts of well with him pining after the dreamboat Barry. And he's not alone. Anyone in his place would pine for the kid. He's so good looking. While he is confused about his own sexuality, he makes a mistake which most people do before they submit to their own feelings...he thinks he is in love with a girl. Or rather, he forces himself to fall in love with her. It does not help that she happens to be the sister of the very same Barry who he is pining for.

They have an affair behind her back and then what follows is the usual drama, crying, pain and separation. While one can argue about the graphs of the characters and why they did what they did and whether it was justified or not, i personally felt that it could have been handled in a more sensitive manner. The ending seemed too rushed and they tried to wrap it up to appease everyone who was watching it.

I felt really bad about the way Krisha (the female lead) was treated. There seemed to be no empathy for her at all. Her boyfriend and her brother jumped into each other's arms far too quickly with any actual development of their relationship. They went on behind her back, without much guilt, except towards the end.

May be, this was intended to be a longer series like Gameboys but suffered due to the pandemic...whatever the reason. Though, it is worth one watch because there are a few scenes which gave a lump in my throat and i felt for Mando quite a few times. His coming out to his father, his relationship with his mom and when he discloses that he is gay, to his girlfriend...brave boy...stuck alone, in a fearful situation. Worth one watch for our Gavreel!!!
