SYNOPSIS

Sky Valley is a thirteen-episode Philippine series from Oxin Films, made in partnership with Calton Studios and directed by Xion Lim. It ran free on the Oxin Films YouTube channel between 20 July and 12 October 2024, with episodes of roughly forty-seven minutes, and is set at Sky Valley Park, a mountain resort in Zamboanga City, which the production used as its location and named the series after.

Two romances run side by side. Junjun works the resort's trails as a horseman and finds himself drawn to Fourth, a guest who will not explain what brought him up the mountain. In the second thread Paris, a vlogger from Manila, falls for Taylor, the daughter of the resort's owner. Jabo moves between the two groups. The park holds both stories in the same frame: the same paths, the same staff, the same weather, and two sets of people working out what they are doing in a place that everybody else is only visiting.

This is the only record in the current Philippine group carrying a girls' love couple alongside its boys' love leads, and the producers billed it that way from the start, describing it in their own listings as a boys' love and girls' love series. Philippine BL has produced a substantial body of work since 2020; GL has not kept pace, and a title that carries both in one cast remains uncommon enough to be worth stating plainly. Oxin Films, which had already made My Day and My Story and would go on to make Boyfriend Express in 2026, is the same studio behind all four.

Two things about the record should be stated openly. No screenwriter is credited in the sources consulted for this entry, which for a thirteen-episode series carrying two interleaved storylines is a real gap rather than a formality, and the field is therefore left empty here. The location, by contrast, is unusually well documented: the producers' own listings name Sky Valley Park in Zamboanga City, which puts the series some distance from the Manila settings that dominate the rest of the Philippine titles in this catalogue.

EDITOR’S VERDICT

7/10

Reviewed by Renkaze, editor of BL & GL Flix

The most ambitious thing Oxin Films had attempted when it arrived, and a series whose reach exceeds its grip in interesting ways.

The location

Shooting at an actual mountain resort transforms the look. After several Oxin productions confined to interiors and city streets, Sky Valley has space, weather and distance in the frame, and the trail sequences in particular give the series a visual identity none of its predecessors had. The park earns its place in the title.

The two strands

The girls' love thread is the better written of the two and gets less screen time, which is the series' central misjudgement. Angelgrace America and Lienel Navidad have the more specific material — a vlogger's professional dishonesty about her own life, a daughter negotiating her family's property — and it consistently gives way to the men's story, which is slower and more conventional. James Lucero and Tim Tuppil are perfectly decent together; they simply have less to play.

The two strands also intersect less than the structure promises. For long stretches they run as separate series sharing a location, and the episodes where the four characters genuinely affect one another are the best in the run.

Problems

Thirteen episodes at forty-seven minutes is over ten hours, and the pacing suffers in the familiar way: a middle third in which both couples are held in place while the series finds its way to a finale. The mystery of what brought Fourth to the mountain is sustained several episodes past the point of interest.

No screenwriter is credited in the sources consulted here, which for a series of this length and structural complexity is a notable gap in the record rather than merely an administrative one.

What the format costs

Splitting each episode into four YouTube uploads, as Oxin Films does with all its series, is particularly damaging here. A story that alternates between two couples already asks the viewer to hold two threads in mind; chopping every forty-seven minutes into four files means the switch between strands frequently falls across an upload boundary, and the effect is of constantly losing one's place. The material would read considerably better as thirteen whole episodes.

Verdict

Uneven, generous and genuinely worth the attention, largely because of what it attempts. Anyone looking for Philippine girls' love will find one of very few places to start, and should know going in that it shares the series with a boys' love story that takes up more of the running time.

Final Score: 7.0/10

What Sky Valley is about

Running two couples in parallel is not simply a way of getting more romance into a series. It changes what the audience is invited to notice. Watching one pair fall in love asks whether they will manage it; watching two asks how the two processes differ, and that comparison does work no single-couple story can.

Here the comparison is pointed. The men's story is about someone local and someone passing through, which puts the imbalance of a resort — those who work in a place and those who arrive at it — directly inside the relationship. The women's story is about a visitor and the owner's daughter, which rearranges the same imbalance: Paris is the outsider, but Taylor's position is the one loaded with family and property. Neither couple is meeting on level ground, and the two versions of unevenness illuminate each other.

That the girls' love thread exists at all is the more consequential fact. In the Philippine field, boys' love has had studios, pairings, fan economies and a steady production line since 2020, while girls' love has had almost none of that. A production that puts the two in the same series, on the same channel, with the same budget and the same weekly slot, does something no amount of separate programming achieves: it declines to treat one as the main event and the other as a specialist concern.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this a BL series or a GL series?

Both, and it is the only record in this Philippine group that is. A boys' love couple and a girls' love couple run in parallel across the same thirteen episodes, and the producers described it that way in their own listings.

Where was it filmed?

At Sky Valley Park, a mountain resort in Zamboanga City, which also gives the series its name and is used as the setting rather than standing in for somewhere else.

How long is it?

Thirteen episodes of about forty-seven minutes, released between 20 July and 12 October 2024, free on the Oxin Films YouTube channel.

Who plays the two couples?

James Lucero as Junjun and Tim Tuppil as Fourth in the boys' love thread; Angelgrace America as Paris and Lienel Navidad as Taylor in the girls' love thread. Jericho del Rosario appears as Jabo.

Who made it?

Oxin Films in partnership with Calton Studios, directed by Xion Lim. No screenwriter is credited in the sources consulted for this record, so that field is left empty.

How does it relate to the other Oxin Films titles here?

It is the fourth in a continuing line. My Day came in 2020, My Story in 2023, this in 2024 and Boyfriend Express in 2026, with Xion Lim directing throughout.

Is it based on a novel?

No source work has been identified. The story was written directly for the series.

Is it finished?

Yes. All thirteen episodes were released and no continuation has followed.
