were they seriously flirting while comforting that "sick" grandmother? really? and guess i'm seeing thing lol but when Caloy was "helping" John with the water-pump, he tots had a hard-on when he went to the other side - or my eye's playing tricks on me?!? OMO (¬‿¬)(¬_¬ ) the only saving grace this Short. otherwise i think i would bail, cause really the acting not getting better, the plot is all over the place - u have to fill in the blanks. not enough we got 2 grandkids that idk how they related (as in, they from a brother and sister - sister and sister? what?!? cause that granny only mentions Caloy's mother). now we got another grand-son Alfie that's a bit of a weirdo, cause like everyone else and John, thought he was a freakin ghost - but the jokes on us?!? cause he granny's grandson, just he hangs in the fields - like WTAF so randomlet alone Caloy village that consist only of 4 people - really?!? let alone why that Dita (or however she is called) so full of hate towards Caloy, what he do murder her parents? or his coming means she gonna lose out on some inheritance? considering that granny told Caloy his mother made her buy all that land he entitled to it or a part of it - no? oh idk this plot Needs work!

OMG that vomit (yeah prop's to actually vomiting). think i have never seen a movie or drama where the actor committed so much to a role, they actually barfed (wish they put more into the actual acting ugh). but Caloy sitting there with that vomit all over him and calmly wiping John, i couldn't do that for the life of me - first there a very good chance i would barf all over him, secondly i would rush to running water, get that sh*t off me like it was burning me alive. then maybe i could find it in myself to come take care of another. so the director trying to zoom in on Caloy wiping his body or making John wake-up to get close and personal nahhh peace out.. wouldn't happen, didn't do a thing other then disgust me. not the right time to set any type of mood - plz. and No i couldn't ignore the fact that Caloy was using only water - that doesn't get anything clean and for sure doesn't get ride of the smell - that was just OMO - no!and have to say i kinda get the trans girls r comedic relief, but they a bad joke - it's even very offensive to watch how they r being portrayed. it's like they used to over feminize gay guy's cause it was supposedly funny - it wasn't. that's just stupid stereotyping - would think people who want to make BL's, can be open to understanding the rest of the diverse group's that r oppressed and represented in the LGBTQIA+ community. educate urself - this aint fiction ¯\_(•_•)_/¯

read a lot of comments going on and on about the "...Cinematography, The flavor of being associated to Indigenous people and cultural manifestation..." which is all good and well - but also explains that they avoiding the main topic, the ability to act or rather, the lack there off... don't wanna be harsh and considering the age's of both main-actors i guess u should take that into consideration. but as they the main focus, hard not to notice the "elephant in the room" (that's glaring to the eye) the rest not fairing better, but as their parts r small - in the grand scheme of things, it becomes insignificant - not the same with the mains. plot wise i kinda get the general idea, but again badly executed - back to acting lol. who every character's is (other then the father and fiancée) isn't even hinted at - like the dude with the snake - he a shaman?!? just the village weirdo/idiot?!? the other dude with the bob - he a bad-guy? why the grandmother not living in that village with her family?!? why her granddaughter a bitter biatch?!? would get her not being welcoming towards a stranger - but she mean even towards Caloy, her cousin. and the last scene -that attraction came out of nowhere. scene's should flow from one to the other - make sense oh well, hope this gets better

perfection! this was perfection - short sweet and prefect... wish this was longer, but sometimes longer means just added clutter. so it's great as is and i hope there is a second season. cause this type of plot, acting etc.. is worth multiple seasons. the range of emotions and feelings conveyed, in such short a time and brilliantly at that - deserves much more then just one season. great work done by all!!!loved how this started off, with them not being able to keep theirs eyes off each other and then u get a look at the 3 trans girls faces behind them - looking at them looking at each other, i burst out laughing cause that was just such a sweet, endearing moment filled with love. all inclusive -when James's woke up to an empty bed, i wanted to feel bad for him. cause he was hurt - but considering his telling Dale the evening before "not to make it harder on him to leave.." i was a bit miffed, it's like he didn't even consider giving Dale and their relationship a chance. and considering Dale opening up to him, as much as he did with Dale - he deserved more, then to be treated like a "tourist attraction". but cause of everything that happened, Dale wasn't the shy fan-boy, basking in his crushes glory, he was an equal that was desired and as attractive to his crush, as he found his crush - so that equal footing gave him the strength to step out of his shell and assert himself - making his will known. inviting himself not only to tag along with James back to him home. but to set a date with him one New Years. his ending with "it's gonna be a long ride" means he's planning for them to not just be an extended one-night-stand. i am beyond happy - this was perfect will for sure revisit this at every chance i want to lift my mood or just for fun (❁´◡`❁)

this was such a powerful ep - i really didn't want it to end - it was sad yet heartwarming, vulnerable and sweet, cute and sultry. it was perfection. two people who just wanted to be loved, not lusted after, not used or taken advantage of, but just loved - for who they were and it was so hard for them to find - this is the reality of a lot of people who remain single - cause of the same reason, cause they tired of getting their heart broken or getting manipulated and played. . this hurt my heart - freakin bitter sweet. but perfection!

i laugh out loud literally, at Dale walking into Jame's room and removing his shirt - dude not playing, OMG that was hilarious. the sad part is James invited him in, cause he lonely and as his ex calling just reminded him of what the jerk did and he doesn't want o be alone and in pain - this usually a recipe for disaster - but as they both consenting adults, that aint blind-drunk this should be fine. but then this nothing but a hook-up story?!? which depresses me a bit - oh well, can't wait to see James reaction...

OMO that ended wayyyy to fast and was like screaming "Dale go after him!!!", was wondering if and when he would come clean - plus not nice of him dragging it out. sending poor James on needless journey to some random supermarket. when his "hook-up" was in front of him. so i get James getting angry, as he felt the fool and i'm pretty sure he already hurting cause of his ex. well hope they make up quick, as this short and every sec of them being sweet towards each other, is just a joy to view.

another great ep - well at least James is out of his funk, or trying to.. Dale realizing he is meeting James was hilariously sweet - wonder how he is gonna come clean, plus he told James on the app "white shirt + jeans" he aint got jeans on - so did he suspect all along it was James he was conversing with?!? or was he genuinely surprised?!? can't for the next ep

wow that flashed by - good start, just want to point out "Two young men, alone for the holidays for different reasons, gravitate towards each other.." is a bit of a reach, as one of the "young men" is working there - so the description is misleading, but other then that i guess that's what's gonna happen. as not a few sec's in each other's company and they were both Very(!) interested. the actor playing James totally looked familiar and i guess i remembered him from Boys' Lockdown, even though for the life of me can't remember the character he played there. but whatever - dude is really good looking and his beautiful sad face, totally make's one want to work hard and making him smile so i totally get Dale lol. good start - on wards to the next ep

all in all the concept was good - acting wasn't bad either, but the plot wasn't though out - there were areas it was just needlessly drag-out, what with the endless flashbacks, that were almost all there was in the last couple of ep's. that not great. it's sweet how they reconciled and even committed to each other, in front of the people who really mattered. but as said before, this could've been shorter, and maybe then it would've been sweeter. all the side character's weren't utilized at all- so why have so many? why give them side stories if "u" won't keep developing them? cause "u" were so committed to the freaking endless flashbacks - really?!? Jet was in like 2 eps at the start and then the ground swallowed the dude - other then hear his name - he didn't exist, might as well have been Bianca's imaginary bf. Nicole the "strong independent woman" was more a busybody that kept poking her nose in everyone's business, cause she had none of her own. and worse she kept acting like a drill sergeant. what's likeable or good about that?!?Ronin had more screen time, with his side story and they (the couple) got a bit more developed, but they never meet - the endless long-distance chats were getting tedious and boring. their cutesy moment's just cringe. who's left Orion, who was totally putting the move's on his co-worker, knowing why that co-worker had come to his families resort. and yet he kept getting touchy feely with him and at the end he acted like he this saint, that is graciously bowing out ?!?cause Tau only has eye's for Otep. and Otep apologizes to this douche even though he was spot on?!? plz - idk maybe i'm the jaded one, but this was far for perfect. not saying boring and it had it's good moments, but this needed work!

this ep was 95% flashbacks and the rest new content - what's left to say? other then - why??? if u remove all the flashback scenes, u might get 7 normal ep's, heck i think i'm being generous - maybe 5

and we r back to boring - let alone the endlesssss reminiscing, like some on who has such a short memory span they need constant reminding, of what happened a sec ago?!? and yeah yippy for Ronin coming out of the closet but Nicole's acceptance speech felt a bit hollow. idk maybe i'm just disillusioned by the plot - like the big hoopla with Otep, Tau and Orion - much ado about nothing - feel like i'm repeating myself, so will add - this should've been a Much shorter drama and then the plot-holes wouldn't be this glaring

and we r back on track, even enjoyed the conversations between Ronin and his bf (it felt real, and not a parody of how a serious relationship between adults looks like - which was totally the case until now). and the friends always rushing to come to each other's aid, is very sweet but can be a bit overbearing - they totally intrusive and most of their rules r a bit ridiculous, let alone Nicole rushing to enforce them like some fanatic, is overkill. but when it counts they do help, so i guess the bad is overshadowed by the good. Otep for sure is justified in his anger and jealous, i liked that he didn't back down just cause the troop's "descended" cause Orion flirting from the word go, and it aint even lowkey - the fact everyone saying "oh Orion" he safe is crap - cause Otep not delusional. anyone would get angry at the way he was going on with Tau (if we were dating Tau) that was taking friend's into the friend's with benefit's territory. and i don't get how Tau doesn't think that's weird - so i think Orion really being into Otep , would be one hell of a twist and hilarious to boot.. then wonder how Tau would react - side note: the flashbacks in this drama r just ridiculous, if this was a sequel to a previous season and we needed a reminder cause time has passed, i would get it - but just watched this a sec ago (yeah i'm binging) so it's worse. and even if when it aired there was a weeks gap between ep's - what viewer's goldfish?!? ugh

even though i don't like unnecessary drama this ep got some much needed "life" pumped back into it - cause for me it was boring and just monotonous i for one aint a big fan of the side couple - they cute looks wise but the content there is tepid at best, and cringe at worse. the girl's k fine as long as u don't get strong doses of them then they as tedious as the side couple. the mains - lol - i was an am rooting for Tau cause i doubt u can be so loving one moment u willing to sacrifice ur love - just cause u think it's better for them and then r left to tend to ur bleedin heart while getting labeled the bad-guy. and as already mentioned if he was read or interested he had over a yr to fine a new love interest (he and Orion working together over a 1) so why now that he has finally gotten Otep back would he mess that up? yeah he totally obtuse, as anyone would see Orion actions as flirting - there nothing friendly about it. so i get Otep's jealous and anger - Tau needs to wake up and smell the coffee

well sorry wanted more on Bianca (well we only get her), not her and her bf, or his side and she just a spoilt brat and the clingy couple that acts all lovey dovey is great at the start - even throughout the honey moon period. but u can't continue to act like complete moron's for decade's - it's infantile and annoying, let alone tiering tiring to keep up the act - cause let's face facts, that an act. so Ronin throughout this ep has given solid advise. donno if Jet is cheating or not, but for sure he has had enough of the glue like baby-gf that needs constant ego stroking and handling like fragile goods. she needs to grow the frack up.mentioning Ronin idk what to think about his relationship - and i get they in a long distance one - but they just lack something for me to get really into caring for that pair. Orion in-spite of those thick ass glasses is hot so i aint surprised Otep worried Tau might be straying, and yet cause of what Tau has done to date there really isn't a reason to worry - he had ample time to be with whomever, while Otep was in the states and he remined single pining over Otep.
