Overhyped¿
It's overhyped because the title was adapted from a marvelous wattpad story and also because the leading man is Donny Pangilinan, a rising star. However, the series has a typical bully and victim plot. It's indeed cliche but I think it is the first time for a Philippine broadcasting network to film this kind of plot so it was highly anticipated.Overall, it was great to watch and was made well.The chemistry was fine, as well as the opening theme - I did not like it at first but I enjoyed it eventually.

The witty lines thrown in was reason enough to watch.
Some really witty lines from time to time. Plot was nothing new. School setting, lots of teen angst, friendship, family and of course young love.Although the plot was typical, it was realistic enough and relatable specially to the younger generation. ML was your typical jock; cool, cute and rich. He already has everything, but he's still desperate for his mother's approval and love. FL was an ordinary girl, loved by her family and friends. She's not weak, giving up is not in her vocabulary. Specially when she had to leave her comfort zone and go live with her father's family.
This is not a heavy drama, nothing profound to see. Surrounded with young artists, this show reminds us the joy of youth and made watching this really enjoyable.

A good series with a classic plot (F4) , but skillfully executed.
PLOT: After paying for her grandmother's medical expenses, FL's father asks her to come live with him and his family in Manila. FL is met with hostility, both by this family and at the elite high school she attends (along with her half-sister). Despite the harassment, FL doesn't give in and confronts the school's idol (ML), the captain of the basketball team. Later, they will learn to know each other, to trust each other, and to love each other despite the obstacles (families, returning exes, the investigation into the brother's assault, etc.).+++ I really like the two leads, Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano. They bring to life complex, strong yet vulnerable and endearing characters.
+++ The supporting actors are good.
+++ The directing is effective, with a good balance of humor, emotion, mystery, and frustration :)
+++ Great OST
=> Cliffhanger ending, so I'm going to watch season 2 (o˘◡˘o)

Bonne série sur un plot classique mais habilement exploité
PLOT: Après avoir payé les frais de santé de la gd-mère, le père de la FL lui demande de venir habiter avec lui et sa famille à Manille. La FL est mal reçue, ds la famille et ds le lycée pr élites où elle est inscrite (avec sa 1/2 sœur). Malgré le harcèlement, la FL ne cède pas et affronte l'idole du lycée (le ML) capitaine de la Basket Team. Ils vont apprendre à se connaitre, à se faire confiance, et à s'aimer malgré les obstacles (familles, ex de retour, enquête s/ l'agression du frère, etc.).
+++ J'aime bcp les 2 leads, Donny Pangilinan et Belle Mariano. Ils donnent vie à des personnages complexes, forts mais vulnérables et attachants.
+++ Les acteurs de soutien sont bons.
+++ La réalis° est efficace, avec un bon équilibre d'humour, d'émotion, de mystère, et de frustration :)
