In the raw and intimate Filipino web series 'Pre*So,' we follow So, a discreet gay man navigating the turbulent waters of online dating after a devastating heartbreak with his straight ex-lover, Pablo. Seeking solace and connection, he encounters the enigmatic Pre, a bisexual who goes by the username LONELY SOUL. What starts as a virtual escape quickly deepens into an intense emotional and physical bond, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. As So and Pre explore their desires through a series of steamy, imagined encounters, the series delves into themes of queer identity, vulnerability, and the search for authentic love in a digital age. With a bold, no-holds-barred approach to intimacy and a narrative that keeps viewers guessing, 'Pre*So' is a passionate, if imperfect, exploration of two souls trying to find each other amid broken pasts.

I admit the story is messy and the editing is rough, but the chemistry between So and Pre completely won me over. Their online confessions felt so real, and the steamy scenes actually had emotional weight. I wish the production had more budget, but for a raw indie BL, it hit me right in the feels.

I can't recommend this to anyone who values coherent storytelling. The constant jumps between reality and So's imagination made it impossible to follow what was actually happening. The ending was nonsensical, and the subplot with Pablo felt half-baked. The sex scenes are the only thing keeping it from a 1, but that's not enough.

The camera work and lighting were painfully amateurish – most scenes looked like they were shot in someone's bedroom with a single lamp. The color grading was flat, and the few outdoor shots felt overexposed. Some framing choices tried to be artistic but just came off as confusing. A waste of potential.

I appreciate the attempt to show a discreet gay man's struggles with online dating and heartbreak, but the catfishing twist and the way Pre's bisexuality is handled felt shallow. The explicit scenes lack clear communication of consent, which bothered me. Still, it sparked important conversations about digital intimacy in queer spaces.

The OST was actually one of the few highlights – a haunting indie track played during the emotional climax that really stuck with me. But the sound mixing was terrible; dialogue was often drowned out. If they had polished the audio, the music could have elevated the whole experience. Still, I found the main theme on Spotify.
