So.. this is the first Filipino drama I've ever watched and it was a good surprise.

*the plot
Actually at first, the plot reminded me of Korean and Japanese classics like Hana Yori Dango and To the beautiful You if you know what I mean. I guess it's what made the nostalgic me keep watching. The plot uses a lot of clichés but it's still charming in some ways. There are some moments that made me cringe or even want to stop but I ultimately came back. So even if I've seen better this is not the worst plot I've ever seen.

*the actors and their characters
INSANE offscreen and onscreen chemistry, you can feel all the actors are very close and their characters are all very funny and pleasant to follow.

*love story
Even though it's very cliché, the love story is quite well written. I thought the dance scene depicted very well high school love and I was happy to see such a rare scene. I think it's always thanks to the actors but a lot of untold things still make it to the reader and I thought it was really well made.

*the ending
why. of course I want a season two but I hate to have to wait! Anyways I hope they don't ruin it .


Special mention to the OST which has been harassing me for the past weeks.
