It is honestly exhausting to sit through another terrible series like this. I have noticed the same group of actors popping up in several of these subpar Filipino BL projects before, and they just don't seem to get any better. The production value is bottom-tier, the acting is painful to watch, and there is hardly enough plot here to even justify calling it a show. I get that a lot of these were made as passion projects during or right after the pandemic, but it is 2026 now, and there is just no excuse for this kind of poor execution. It really should have just been a quick short film instead of stretching it out. At least it only has six episodes that run about 15 minutes each, so you can fly through it pretty fast if you’re unlucky enough to start it. The plot is about as basic as it gets. We follow a guy named Sam who is stuck in a major emotional rut. He has been in a steady, loving relationship for years, but he can't stop obsessing over his ex, Travis. Apparently, Travis ...
Tum, a young boy lives in an island in a resort run by his parents. He doesn't have any friends and feels lonely and his father tries to control him a lot including his choice of education. One day he meets another boy names Kim who asks to become friends with him. Initially reluctant, Tum finally gives into Kim's charms and they become close friends. A secret is soon revealed though that Kim is a ghost but the duo decide to stay friends. Soon Tum goes to college and falls for a girl, but a drunken incident leads them astray. Kim tries to be close to Tum all this while, but Tum, who is heartbroken snubs him away. Three months later we find out that Kim has been in coma so far and he finally wakes up. Kim's ex girlfriend goes on a trip to the island and take a photo of Kim, watching which all memories come flooding back to Tum.
Overall the film is trying to be everything about love, friendship, loneliness, parents support and memories. But the final product is very broken. A lot of scenes feel randomly stitched together. For example there is a random scene where the manager of the resort calls her boyfriend who is now dead. That was so random, out of context and had no bearing to the film. Then this other guy who starts seeing Kim's ghost in Tum's dorm is given no introduction on who he is and why can he see Kim's ghost. You can watch the film knowing exactly where that is heading even though you may have to keep your brains aside. I think this film was a waste of time despite the actors trying to make the best of the opportunity given but the amateurish direction and a very choppy story spoils it all. (2/10)
