The "mystical" pretext for this series didn't really engage me, but I really enjoyed the opportunity it provided to explore a painful chapter in the history of the Philippines. The insights into what life was like for a young gay man under the brutality of the martial law government in 1974 provided a real bit of (sad) learning for me.

Don't watch this if you are expecting a fluffy BL story -- it's not that. On the other hand, I didn't find the characters sufficiently relatable that I felt their pain very much, either.

So the strong points were the plot and also the visuals. (The filming was largely done in a beautiful old house, and a lot of scenes were visually very attractive.) There may have been some background music, but I can't remember anything notable.....

The characters were mildly interesting. I found the elderly housekeeper to be an intriguing presence and the "mystical" element in the story could have been developed more by having that character take a more active role. As it was, she was basically a bystander.

The acting was average, up until the final episode. Wade mostly looked pouty, until he actually showed some serious emotional range at the end.
