INTERNET GOES WILD OVER ‘MY DAY THE SERIES’
This Miko Gallardo and Iñaki Torres-starrer has been around for several weeks now and has been one of the most viewed Pinoy BL series on YouTube since its debut, but its most recent episode (episode 8) took the whole internet by storm.
The said episode features the impassioned love scene shared by the characters played by Gallardo and Torres, one almost every YouTube reactor went crazy about.
Already the fastest Pinoy BL episode to reach more than 1 million views (it achieved the feat just after 4 days) the said love scene is made more memorable by how it was wonderfully shot and beautifully choreographed, with most reactors noting the actors’ very realistic portrayal. But one can’t deny it’s also the length of the kissing scene that made the audience gasp.
