When I started watching Stay Still I had my doubts because episode 0 was quite confusing. But as I kept watching this tiny little beautiful show I was mesmerized by its beauty, the atmosphere, the love, and the characters. As the show ended today, I felt sad that it's over, but happy with how things turned out

We learn about Hayden and Damien and Kelvin and Archie from a story narrated by this woman. She's getting married the next day, but clearly it's not something that would make her happy because he's not the one she's marrying but here she is with him the night before her big day. As they talk and smoke we slowly see how their dynamic changes as the story progresses. I really thought she would leave and he didn't seem like the type to hold on to someone. But things turned out otherwise. The lighting for their scenes was always warm and comforting even if the atmosphere seemed dense and sorrowful in a way. But we see how the light breaks through that invisible barrier to bring them together and to the realisation that they belong together.

Hayden and Damien met in the most unusual way but there was nothing unusual about the way their relationship develops. They both clearly have feelings for each other even though they were at different points in their life - Hayden moving on from his ex, Damien dealing with his grandmother's death. Through the rough patches they were there for each other, even though the gestures were small (Damien taking care of drunk Hayden and keeping him company on his birthday; Hayden buying food and leaving notes for Damien to help him deal with his loss). These are very real situations and experiences and the actors did a fabulous job showing that to us.

Now Kelvin and Archie faced such an unfortunate tragedy as high school lovers torn apart by this woman's jealousy. She outed them to the whole school (or class, I'm not sure which) forcing Archie to leave the school because he became the root of all jokes and verbal (maybe physical, not sure) bullying. Does she get what she wants? In a sense, yes. We see that they are married and they have a son. Are they happy? Well, that's a whole other situation. After Archie returns we see that Kelvin really lights up and becomes a whole different person. But of course that doesn't last long, because the ever meddling witch has come to threaten Kelvin with their son. So Kelvin does what is expected of him, he pushes Archie away. Only after losing him the second time does he finally realise what he really wanted.

Finding love in this ever broken world is hard. And we see how these stories depict the reality of these experiences we go through every day.

What a beautiful and touching show. I look forward to more from Jupiter Entertainment. This show is their inaugural production under the "Love Spread" program. So, I have hope that there's more to come in the future.

I highly recommend this show and it's freely available on YouTube. So, why not give it a shot?

Wondering if it'll be censored?

So how are we feeling about Stay Still ?? (I've watched EPs 0-3.)

SPOILERS FOR HONG KONG BL STAY STILL (currently being released weekly on Youtube)

I'm enjoying the story about Hayden and Damien (Grandma 100% ships it). The meet cute was adorable and natural, the flirting over home cooked food is always a good stand by, and having a supportive family member is a nice touch. Both men seem like genuinely nice people who are just trying to make it in this world and I'd love for them to make a little family together.

However, the story about Archie and Kelvin has me a bit nervous. While realistic, it's sad to see queer people conform to Het expectations, despite their natural feelings, and cheating on your partner no matter the reason isn't good. Also, I felt like EP 3 could have come with a TW. I had "My Name Engraved Herein" bully abuse flashbacks. :(

I really like the slice-of-life feel to the production, and the music adds a reflective tone to the scenes that make the sweeter moments feel even more touching. The handheld camera shots weren't as annoying as they can be for me in other films and dramas, and the colors are warm and moody.

But what does Phi'Abl think?? <3

I'm liking it. Not loving it.

It’s kinda sticky & grungy (in a way I’ve come to expect from the Philippines, although this is not as cluttered visually nor as brightly colored as the Pinoy stuff).

I do kind of enjoy that lived-in feeling, it reminds me of Taiwanese shorts, or pre-censorship Chinese BL. But you know me, generally I prefer my Bl more fluffy and cheerful (more Our Dating Sim than 8th Sense... as it were).

There is something very honestly queer about the primary leads (tattoo & babyface) in particular the way they dance queerness around each other: verbally, emotionally & physically - laying down breadcrumbs of gay for the other to follow.

The secondary couple (reunion, cheating) is very sad. Although I do love a counter lift make-out sesh.

In preparation of Jeremy Ho and Louis Lam's comeback project 'Eyes on You', check out their impeccable chemistry and tensions built up on their first Cantonese BL : Stay Still ( now streaming on GagaOOLala for free)

The story takes place in an old-style tenement building in Hong Kong. Hayden, a new tenant, encounters Damien after helping his grandmother, and their relationship becomes entangled after an unexpected kiss. Additionally, it tells the story of Kelvin and Archie, who reunite after losing contact in high school.

I really liked this series and I'm sorry is so underrated: now that you can watch it for free you don't have any excuses 😉

Stay Still character/timeline wrangling

Ok i sat down with notes and figured this out, sharing in case it's helpful and in order to be able to refer to later!

Paki is the woman who we started with in ep0 who is about to get married and is cheating on her fiance; she's in the future telling the story of Hayden and Archie to the guy she slept with (Shawn). Paki is friends with both of them and is the one who causes them to meet in the bar in ep1.

In the story, Hayden has just moved into the apartment building (where the grandma he helped in ep0 and her grandson Damien live) when he goes to meet up with Paki and Archie at the bar. We saw the aftermath of this drinking session at the start of the episode (when Hayden kisses Damien while thinking about his ex, Owen). Then the story rewinds a bit when Shawn asks about the other friend (because Paki said the story was about two friends) and that's when we get the context for Archie, who has just returned from England and on meeting up with Paki and Hayden, runs into his childhood crush Kelvin at the bar.

So we've got Paki telling the story of her two friends as the scaffolding, and the show moves back and forth slightly in time as it focuses on either Archie and his reunion with Kelvin, or Hayden and his budding something with Damien. We still don't know why Paki is telling this story or how/whether Archie and Hayden's stories will become more intertwined.

And if you don't know about this series and want to give it a try, it's on YouTube:

Hope this helps!
