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 ...
Reggie, Richard and Melvin are flamboyantly gay guys who had been best of friends since they were elementary school kids. They all have their share of problems, and we see a nice funny intro to all three. Soon Reggie is diagnosed with leukemia and he seems to be depressed. To keep everyone's spirits up, Melvin suggested that the three of them take a short break from their jobs and drive around the various scenic spots in Camarines Sur. Along the way, the three had several adventures -- mostly happy, some sad, some strange, some risky -- which made them discover more new things about each other. We see Melvin reconnecting with his estranged father who accepts his son of who he is. We are also told that Richard has been hiding a secret from his friends. He is dying of cancer and has very few days left and his friends find out only when it is too late a the dies. Reggie starts chemo and fights it completely only to die in a robbery and as you can expect, something funny happens with Melvin too.
The idea of the film is to underline the importance of having good friends in anyone’s life. These three have their own share of misunderstanding but things are eventually ironed because their friendship is more important. Richard's secret does come as a surprise because suddenly the film takes a serious turn. But the final afterlife scene, we realize it’s really their way of showing not to take things too seriously. After all is said and done, they’ve really spent the best days of their lives together and they’ve accepted each other for what they are, warts and all. As I said before, most of the gags do not hit right. Some of them are really funny and I found myself smiling at the silliness of it all , but they worked. Unfortunately, overall as a whole product, this gay comedy leaves a lot to be desired. The makers tried to add plenty gratuitous shirtless beefcake shots of several young men for the gay audience to ogle at, and I have to admit they were successful at that. But overall I would say that the film was not that funny or worth even spending time. (3.5/10)
