I started watching this series because it looked light and fun. Little did I know I was in for a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Let's talk about the characters first. Gavreel and Cairo.

Gavreel seemed to be a player with smooth pickup lines at first. It's like you couldn't take him seriously with his dimples and cheesy pickup lines. But then as the story progressed, he's proven himself to be almost the perfect representation of what a persistent and a dedicated patient love is.

As much as an extrovert Gavreel acted was the opposite of Cairo. He seemed very hesitant to opening up and closed off with a glimpse of his really beautiful smile here and there when he's playing games. Perhaps, the reason he was more into games during that time was actually to distract himself from the many stuff going on in his life at the moment.

I don't want to put spoilers here so I won't. Just take it from me who've been watching a bunch of BLs all over the world. THIS DRAMA was ten thousand fold better than most. And I won't even include those problematic BLs that only rely on 'good looking actors' to pull off a story line which is beyond believable and borderline criminal.

I believe in character and plot development don't get me wrong. I give a series so many chances of redeeming themselves. However, most fail sadly.

Now going back to Gameboys, the life lessons here are worth showing even to non-BL fans. It's a series on a league of it's own and I can totally say that GAMEBOYS has set the standard so high it's going to be hard for me to find something that would hit me as much as this show did.

Gameboys is such a gem that people should watch. A coming out story, finding acceptance, reality of moving on and finding love and connection to the people around in this time of pandemic.

GREAT CASTING. FLAWLESS AND NATURAL FLOW OF SCRIPT.

Gameboys is not just a BL. It's a story of people all over the world.

WATCH IT NOW. REALLY. Thank me later.
