SEE THIS DRAMA

Someone wrote- if section E and boys over flowers had a baby- I AGREE ,, but this is good
...
It’s a Filipino teen rom-com about , a SMART but shy GURL who ends up at an elite high school after her mother dies. There, she meets the popular, charming, and slightly cocky guy who has a reputation for being untouchable.

The story follows their awkward, flirty, and sometimes dramatic relationship as Max navigates high school life, friendships, crushes, and self-discovery. Basically: nerdy girl meets popular boy ? sparks fly ? romance, comedy, and teen drama ensue....

YAYYY

Neighbor/childhood vibe – Long-time familiarity, tension from past/observing each other.

Slow-burn romance – Love develops gradually through small gestures.

Flawed male lead – Charming but has quirks/baggage.

Nostalgia/emotional depth – Past experiences shape feelings.

Side characters matter – Neighborhood adds humor and tension.

-U ARE GOING TO ENJOY THIS ONE !!!!!!

Revenge-driven plot: Both shows have a main female lead who’s wronged and wants to get back at the people who betrayed her.
-Scheming families: Step-relatives, greedy family members
-Romance involved in both plots
-Melodrama + high stakes: Both are classic makjang-ish, with betrayal, power dynamics, and intense emotional drama.

Tone and intensity are very similar
