The result was a YouTube series titled, “Gameboys,” which, sans any fanfare or big promotions, hit over a million combined views after just episodes. In fact, it sparked a new trend of Filipino “BL” (“Boys Love”) series that enjoys a global following. “Gameboys is ultimately about love overcoming all boundaries — even physical ones set by our new reality,” says Executive Producer Jun Robles Lana. To date, Gameboys has French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Ukranian, Czech, Turkish, Korean, Thai, Indonesian and Arabic subtitles. Gameboys episodes are available on The IdeaFirst Company’s YouTube channel Written by Ash Malanum and co-starring Adrianna So, new episodes are uploaded every week.
