Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino are indeed super talented that they were able to convey their story and transcend it to the screen. Their chemistry on screen is amazing. You get the "Kilig" feel without feeling cringey. It makes me want to keep watching them. The cinematography is also excellent.

It's light, funny, cute, and yet meaningful. I haven't had a post-pandemic experience where I left the cinema smiling and giddy. I love their chemistry; it's so realistic, worth every cent. Kim is funny and can carry dramatic scenes really well; a proud Bisaya, while Paolo is just charismatic, intense, and surprisingly boyish, too. The plot is simple yet clean and well-executed. The supporting cast is just right, and they seemed to enjoy acting together. I'm just happy we have local movies that do not try to look expensive and be a Hollywood copycat. Kudos to the director, scriptwriter, editor, camera team, and everyone who is part of the behind-the-scenes team.
