Short, But Sweet
I expected nothing less from the Severo-Habac tandem. They brought us Gaya Sa Pelikula (Like In The Movies), so I am sure that this micro-series will deliver. I was not familiar of Kaloy and Genesis though, so I was wary at first even though they already seem likeable through the teasers and trailers that I have seen. Amazingly enough, I ended up loving this show and the wait for it every midnight for a week was one of the best parts of my Christmas. Through this series, you feel the importance of presence and companionship. Sometimes, you are lucky enough to immediately build a connection with someone you just met and it leaves such a memorable experience with you. In such a short series, it tackled class struggle, sadness and longing, self-preservation, and intimacy. Kaloy and Genesis had such amazing chemistry. They shot this in a span of four days, if I remember correctly, yet they were able to pull it off. I sincerely hope we get to a second season because there are a lot more to unpack especially when it comes to James and Dale's individual lives and how this might affect their relationship, especially since they have such different backgrounds. Most importantly, Kaloy and Genesis were so effective in this role and made both of these characters feel so lived-in that they deserve another chance to portray James and Dale for a longer, hopefully, full-length Season 2. I'll be holding my breath. For now, the idea of James and Dale spending the holidays together live in my mind rent-free.
