Who shall it be?
Ang Mutya ng Section E, where the story is about a well-known all-boys class which is soon thrown into chaos when a confident and clever girl, Jayjay, transfers in. She's the first female student they've had for a while, and not everyone is happy about the change, especially the class president, Keifer. He sees her as a threat to the way things have always been and does everything he can to make her leave. But as they argue and challenge each other, the class starts to shift, and both the boys, and the president, begin to see things in a new perspective.
Honestly, I went into this just for sillies since I'd seen clips of it on my socials, but I didn't expect to be this immersed into it. Its my first Filipino drama, and there may be more to come, but it's definitely a rollercoaster. It's not just the love stories that unfolded which caught my attention, but also the whole friendship as a whole. The first friendship that caught my attention was Jayjay and Ci-n, which also is the reason I fell in love with Ci-n, along with his actor Charles Law. I think this series just brings a sense of family even without being biologically related. It a story where they'll fight for each other as they love them very dearly. I like these kind of stories, but this one felt different. I can't put my finger just on why, but it's definitely there.
(SPOILER‼️)
Who shall it be? Keifer? Yuri? Neither? Maybe they should get together since they seem to like the same people, maybe they can give each other that love. BUT Aside from the friendships that blossomed during these 16 episodes, the love story, or stories, also were quite eye-grabbing. She had both Yuri and Keifer looking at her, and as much as I want Yuri to get the girl, we all know he's the second lead and just like always, the second lead never gets the girl. Theres a bunch of people who have read the books that are saying things about Yuri, but I'll have to wait and see that. All I know is that being so attractive, looks and personality wise, to get BOTH of the top guys in your section?? Damn Jayjay?? Either way, I'm team Yuri, at least I think..
(END OF SPOILER‼️)
Let's get off of the story now!! Let's go to the acting..boy was it something. Listen, I'll let it slide just for the fact a lot of the actors are new. But that doesn't help the fact that it was a bit of a hard watch. Andres Muhlach, who plays Keifer, might have just been one of the worst ones. I didn't see much emotion, and it bothered me. I'm not saying he doesn't have room to improve, since he's probably got years ahead of him, but I hope his next project will be more..full? Other than that, it just seemed low-ish budget for the acting. Maybe it's just because of how it's my first Filipino drama, but it didn't seem right. I've seen better, but I've also seen worse, so I tried to not let it affect my rating too much.
Overall, I think even though it wasn't like a top budget series, I enjoyed it a lot. Honestly, Ang Mutya ng Section E really surprised me. I thought it would just be a fun watch, but it turned into a touching story about change, friendship, and growth. What I loved most wasn’t just the romance, but how the characters formed strong, family-like bonds. Jayjay really shook things up, especially for Keifer, and seeing their relationship change was both annoying and satisfying. In the end, this series gave me more than just fun, it gave me characters to love, friendships to admire, and a final episode I won't forget anytime soon.
