Criticism

The show has gained criticism and controversy in regards to the main character's depiction as a person with Angelman syndrome. Special education expert Yolanda Bautista and pediatrician Dr. Tippy Tanchanco, have observed some inconsistencies and factual inaccuracies in the protagonist, especially when he got out of a coma after suffering from an accident, as he was shown to be able to speak clearly, and at one point, become a genius. They also stressed that for the producers to brand the show as an "advocacy-serye", they shouldn't deviate from reality and refrain from adding any "cinematic effects", as it might give parents a misleading message. The most glaring example of gross factual inaccuracy is that almost no Angelman syndrome patients in the real world are capable of producing any significant speech. Some Angelman patients may have some success learning to communicate basic needs, feelings and thoughts through gesturing or body language, but meaningful verbal communication and even easy repetition of words is essentially an impossibility. The Budoy character bears virtually no resemblance to the appearance, behavior, abilities, and outcomes of actual Angelman patients.

The show also gained some stir among online communities as the portrayal of Gerald Anderson of Budoy is somewhat similar to Leonardo DiCaprio's character Arnie in the movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape with Johnny Depp.
