Reviews
I will admit that I found the second half of the movie too cliché for my personal tastes, and the lead character's personalities start off great but slowly become more bland and milquetoast by the end, but none of it is so egregious that it made me dislike the movie or the characters. It was just disappointing to see happen. Of course, these are hallmarks of a lot of these types of movies, and often some of their biggest draws, so don't let this convince you not to give this movie a try. It's sweet, and you just might like it.

cheesy but enjoyable
i came for the cheese.i stayed for the cheese.
yes, the concept is not brand new. what i appreciated tho is that the seemingly "bad guy" isn't entirely a jerk... just a tad bit childish. when it comes to the fl, i was so happy she wasn't presented as naive or spineless. this movie really presented a strong fl who won't let her guard down but she's also caring and understanding.
considering this is a high school romance and i try to avoid filipino movies when it comes to this genre, some parts are indeed cringey but the chemistry between the leads is undoubtedly real.
the emotional moments were done well to create a connection for the leads. it was heartwarming to see the ml help the fl during her rough times. i think one thing i wasn't a fan of was how supposedly sophia was viewed to be unattractive because of her braces. thankfully the transformation thing they usually do wasn't major or made as much of a big deal.
overall, this is an entertaining and cutesy movie involving two teens with different lives and underlying struggles.
