[@yangwonie6701]

so i rewatched this for the nth time and... 1. karl finding out vlad's birthday through his driver's license. he now understands why vlad is being a grinch and "not a fan of christmas." 2. vlad having the same birthday on christmas means he share the same zodiac sign as jesus. this explains the line "he's too forgiving to be a capricorn." because unlike jesus, he still hasn't forgive his mom because of idk reasons. 3. "i refuse to be a plot device that triggers somebody else's identity crisis... not again." so was this the reason of their breakup? kasi if yes this can also happen with karl and i hate myself for thinking about this pa huhu. 4. karl's note on the picture frame saying "you can put this wherever you like" is a callback to episode 3 wherein karl wouldn't allow him to decorate any space (vlad's i am nesting line). and then in the hi neighbor scene karl got angry when he wore his shoes inside so he also got him slippers. uwu. 5. vlad saying he's celebrating noche buena with his friends when he's actually alone and sad huhuhuhu nooooo 6. karl (accidentally) brought home the jockstrap. the present that vlad opened was karl's gift to his parents. so they ended up switching gifts. cuties. 7. sue said that vlad tends to lament on the fact that he shares the same birthday as jesus so when they celebrated it, karl makes an effort in putting the decors away so vlad can feel that they're celebrating his birthday and not anyone else's. i mean, vlad didn't even mention it and just asked karl to have a proper "noche buena" instead of making it about him and his birthday. 8. 27:18 i think everyone knows this na but the outro part describes their relationship in every episode. and the remote as karl's heart. in ep1 to ep3 vlad doesn't seem interested in getting the remote and all of it was just karl holding it and assuming that vlad will steal it but in this episode vlad was like "can i have it?" YES NAFALL NA SYA DAHIL LANG SA PANCAKE VLAD MARUPOK VLAD MABILIS BUMIGAY VLAD BAKLA NG TAON 9. 22:36 so at first vlad was like "meh" when he heard about the theme song test, but when the theme song played he actually did it and saw karl. hays i bursted all my uwus :( (just saw this in the comments i cant believe i forgot this one) 10. for international neighbors, the note was more of like "put ME wherever you like." than '"put this wherever you like" because he used "ko" so vlad just hugged it cause he wanted karl in his arms. anyways, karl made PANCAKES. like its their endearment diba? pERO KARL BAKIT PANCAKES TOTOO BA YUNG RELASYON NYO HA? TOTOO?HHAHAHAHAH CHAROT (i saw that some int fans didnt get these stuff kaya ayan😚 and pls lets appreciate everything in this series this is soooo good and funny and cute grr) so tapos na yung series putangina ayoko mangspoil pero kase😭😭😭😭😭😭 i dont know how to move on from this.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 besst bl so far😭😭😭😭for the people reading this please pray for season 2😭😭😭😭😭

[@netchaii]

The fact that Karl removed the Christmas decors on Christmas day to put up the Happy Birthday decors for Vlad. He sees you, Vlad. The feeling of having your birthday is the same as Christmas, or new year or even any other holiday in the Philippines somehow takes away the feels that you get to have a day that you own in a year. That speaks a lot. Congratulations to everyone behind this series and I am so proud that I got to share a moment or two with some of them in my lifetime :)

[@cheryldalis7071]

Sharing birthdays with holidays DOES blow... So says this Halloween baby... 🕷🕸

[@Anaklusmoshvitr]

I feel that on deep level even though I actually share my birthday with my mother and not with an Holiday. Ever since I was a child, the idea that my birthday wasn't /mine/ really ruined the mood, especially because my mother and I have never been on good terms. And exactly like Vlad, I don't celebrate my birthday anymore. 😂 I just stay in my room and listen to music, and only come out when we have relatives over for lunch because it's my mother's bday after all...

[@aerostrike3730]

I was just thinking that. The reason why he doesn’t celebrate his birthday is because he shares it with someone else and everyone values the holiday more than him. Karl abandoned his tradition of Christmas decors and his own individuality to show importance to someone he just met; which for me goes beyond what Christmas (as Filipinos have known) is all about.

[@mintyyling]

For those who don't understand the song at the end!! The song is "Tahahan" by Nica del Rosario "Tahanan" is "home" in Tagalog. The lyrics in the chorus is a play on words. "Tahan na" is what we say when someone is crying, usually followed by pats on the back or, like what we saw in the scene where imaginary Karl appears in Vlad's drunk imagination, they *hug* Hence, "Tahan na, dito sa'king yakap, may tahanan ka." Although "tahan" does not have a direct English word equivalent, the lyric very, very roughly translates to: "Please don't cry. Here in my embrace, you have a home" or "Find comfort in my embrace; here you have a home" So, "tahanan" and "tahan na" are used here to pertain to a person we call home and in whom we find comfort. Hope this helps! And if anyone has better translation suggestions/extra information, feel free to share! 💖💖💖🏳️‍🌈

[@farisa4225]

In Indonesian we also use the word tahan for someone who's crying or in pain, but we use it more to someone who is in pain or crying because one is in pain hahahaha, I just didn't know that we are so related in many unexpected ways

Bitter loneliness from spending the eve of his birthday alone but with the innocence of slowly falling for Karl and realizing he just did the Theme Song Test!!

This episode is the sweetest, and the saddest as we got to see Vlad's interior, longing for someone even at solitude. The next day after his birthday, when we got to see Karl return and surprised him was one of best gestures of love given to him. And that closing shot, like in the previous episode, indicates he felt feelings for Karl. This series really takes you on a spin of emotions!

[@JabirJeff]

This series is surely creeping up to the top tier in the BLdom. Just the layers and subtle nuances alone are like tiny sparks of fireflies glittering under the moonlight giving you that perfect moment vibe that only a bunch of people with depth can relate to. Another obra maestra that is giving other dramas in the BL genre a run for their money. Ok, cinematography wise, with the budget on the whole production consideration, we're not as blessed as our Asian neighbors who have more to spend to upgrade the quality to the highest visual levels possible, but man, the talents, creativity, heart and passion that one can feel upon watching these series definitely make up for it. Keep it up guys, i only wish this wonderful thing that is happening during this pandemic deal will not fizzle too quickly in the future, nor will it be extinguished by societal threats coming from "moral norm"-biased bigots.

[@jdb6026]

Is anyone gonna talk about a drunk Vlad dancing with Karl’s gift and how he holds it to his chest and imagines Karl actually being there? The hug Vlad gave is what I call a "criss-cross" hug. It's a hug that gives both parties equal opportunities to have the role of the "under hugger" and "super hugger" (one who hugs with arms below the other party and one who hugs with arms above the shoulders of the other party, respectively). This means a lot as Vlad is opening himself up to Karl. An under hug means submission or opening oneself up and a super hug means protection or authority. Ofc not for everyone, but you get the point. A criss-cross hug is a combination of both.

@@moyau I had to come up with this one as I wrote it tbh. Hahahaha. Although, it's been in my head for a LONG time already. I worked in the counseling industry and am a huuuuge hugger myself, too. People tend to underestimate the hug and are largely, LARGELY, uneducated about the different types and their meanings. Fun fact: there's also an intimate, non-sexual hug I call "the cup". Depending on one's height, the hugger would do an under hug with one arm whilst the other hand cups either the nape of the neck or the back of the head. This is a protective/comfort/"ownership" hug. I am glad that Vlad DID NOT do this to the imaginary Karl during this scene because it would be too quick and too intimate at the moment.

A comment to appreciate the caste and crew and directors and just everyone involved with the show, even the audience. I hope you all read this. This show is such a breath of fresh air. Every subtleties and details and the way the LGBTQ community is portrayed and supported is just amazing. The leads are doing such a great job that I've been watching their lives even when I only understand the English parts. I love that they watched some good documentaries before starting the show, this itself shows how much effort they are putting into this and I can see it through their acting. The supporting caste is doing a great job as well. Love the sister, she represents all of us, the allies😅, and the neighbor, our scorpion queen and I'm sure this girl in the episode 4 who will make Vlad jealous will do an equally amazing job. Now, the directors, writers, producers and the rest of the crew, thanks for the hard work and making this show possible. I love everything about it. The comedy scenes are light and seems like not that unique, but somehow the way they are woven into this show makes them feel fresh and it works and I laugh every time. And I love how Vlad is teaching the audience about the community and how to act normally around them while he is teaching Carl. Till now, I have not found anything to criticize about this show. Just love love love it. Feels like it's going to be one of my top favourite BLs of all time. AND, the music 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Audience, you are watching a great show. I love your choice.

Definitely a breath of fresh air, yes it's cliche but this show is give us the important message about lgbtq+ which is I feel seen, they also show us how some "allies" can be problematic like his sister, and that's true, some people call themselves allies and tell us about how they love lgbtq+ that somehow it's just all about themselves, and remember, allies is claimed by oppressed group not claimed by allies themselves

You could also say that Vlad actually opened the “right” gift in the end. The picture was a family portrait, with Karl on the right, his mum in the middle and dad on the left. When Vlad pulls it out of the paper, you can see his eyes drawn to Karl’s image and that same ethereal smile spread across his face from earlier in the episode. Every time he looks at the picture, he’s always looking at Karl, whether it’s on the sofa or while he’s dancing. Even in his drunken dance, there's a clever little expression of "I see you". It’s a perfect yet unplanned interruption of the self-destructive path that he was on the verge of heading down with the text to his ex. The gift mix-up should have sent him further into his spiral - what a way to top everything else off that’s gone wrong than the present from your best friend being lost - but it was inadvertently the gift he “really” wanted, and so instead we get to see him lift out of his mood as he chooses to embrace his little new home and the person he’s sharing it with, and in doing so finds that maybe everything isn’t as hopeless as it seems. It's such a subtle and genuine detail that's easy to overlook with the low lighting, but for it me it totally changes the interpretation of the scene from something sad to something with a lot more hope and awakening. There’s a lovely setup here in that Karl’s gift of a frame is not only inviting him to “nest”, but it’s also empty - so it becomes an invitation for Vlad to create his own “family portrait”. I’m rooting for a picture of the two of them in it by the end of the season. Also, can we give Sue massive props for basically being Vlad’s guardian angel this episode!! ^_^

[@JustThai_BoysLove]

Too bad you missed the most important part here: It was VLAD the one who changed the presents. Go back to the moment when Arki tells him "You got presents deliver" and see how Vlad sees one present is from Karl to his parents and the other is his from his best girl friend SUE. Both presents have the same paper, and so he probably just changed the cards on them. That is why he was already happy opening Karl's present even if he didn't know what was inside. And that is why he apologizes to Arki when he tells him: "Hey... Mr. Jockstrap." and Karl says: "Let it go" caressing his hair; because he knows it was Vlad the one to exchange the presents. Cheers...!

[@franzie10]

I absolutely love the part where Vlad dances by himself! He applies Anna’s theme song test and of course, he imagines Karl!! What made it even more adorable is the fact he was embracing Karl’s gift, which is such a significant easter egg as Karl is officially giving him freedom sa unit. “Tahanan” is the perfect song to reinforce the whole scene! ❤️❤️❤️

I like how the content included the "Law of Proximity" which shows that 'people who interact and live close to each other will be more likely to develop a relationship', according to Wikipedia. This is actually True. and I love how they showed it on this episode. 1. Vlad unconsciously misses Arki because Nasanay na siya na lagi silang magkasama(nangungulit sa chat nung wala si Arki for Noche Buena) 2. Na aadapt nila parehas ung ugali ng isa't isa and they are not aware of it like paghuhugas ng pinggan, panonood ng TV, seeking attention pag may ibang tao(nag seselos sa atensiyon si Vlad nung andun si Anna sa condo) 3. Looking into each other's perspective and point of view, which definitely an element and a key ingredient of a relationship(empathy) - Vlad chose to let Arki have the christmas decoration even though hindi siya naniniwala sa Christmas, dahil alam niyang dun masaya si Arki. In return, Arki also removed the decors to consider Vlad's opinion) 4. Looking for each other's sake and security(nag aalala si Arki na walang matitirhan si Vlad and baka may mangyari sa kanyang masama) 5. eventually showing care and affection(Arki putting up a birthday surprise for Vlad) 6. Decisions made are mutual unti-unti. And this, guys, is psychological explained by Law of Proximity and The Propinquity Effect. Kaya mas mahirap hiwalayan ang jowang nakasama mo sa iisang bubong.

I just cried when Vlad woke up and Arki greets him happy birthday. THIS BL SERIES IS JUST SO PURE, SWEET, CUTE AND LOVELY. Still in episode 4 and this is now my favorite Bl series.

[@Zeroken09]

The thing about this series is that, the way they act with each other is almost similar to how they act with each other irl. And to me that is genuine. I rarely ever obssess with BL and this is the only one ive been on OBSSESS level. Any other are only on love or like category. I think it would literally break me to pieces once this series ends. ;(

I've watched some of their interviews My Brother, and I agree. They seem to genuinely, really, like each other. If anything, they are better in real life than in this series even. My Best. Out.

We have to keep demanding a second season Bro, with at least, 20 odd, episodes. Clearly, eight episodes does not come close to doing this series justice. My Best. Out.

[@yourresidentfangirl]

Vlad’s line of “I refuse to be a plot device that triggers somebody else’s identity crisis only to be left alone in the end... not again.” Really caught my attention. Is it perhaps the same ex/person he’s always calling for help?

[@JB-yb1nx]

Plausible!

[@ernestgabrielwatanabe2414]

he is implying not to fall in love with a straight person anymore

[@ernestgabrielwatanabe2414]

And yes it might be his ex

The same person who texted just before Sue called at midnight.

[@elleryele]

According to the few chapters posted in wattpad, yes vlad has an ex, and they are in the same organization but their relationship is not known to everyone because his ex doesn't want to come out as gay (not straight)

True. Especially the dancing scene. Words wont do justice to that scene 🥰🥰

[@yobeefy8043]

Tbh it was such a plot twist that Karl is straight (for now),. When I first watched the show, I thought Vlad will be pretending to be gay because he is so masculine, and that Karl is an out gay because he is so effeminate, but turns out it's the opposite. This show breaks cliche and Im loving it.

[@manoy2011]

true! even the subtle characterizations are on point! In a previous episode, Karl eats so prim and properly, while a (possibly) starving Vlad is a messy eater.

[@jhing_]

Yezzzzzz!!!!

[@granville7]

didn't they make it clear/obvious that both boys are actually gay in the first ep? Vlad has had a breakup with a boy and Karl's uncle dropped hints in his phone call with Karl. the uncle himself is gay too as Karl revealed a little later to Vlad

[@kaivonnix1100]

FR THO. i assumed he was gay just bc of him being the main character and it was giving obvious clues that he was attracted to vlad before he said he was straight
