Nice Pinoy RomCom mini-series
Before proceeding with the review, let me get this issue out of the way first - the main couple are not actually biologically (or even legally?) related siblings. Let's clarify that to avoid possibly turning off some people from watching this good drama.That being said, the acting from the main characters are actually quite good as well as their chemistry. It's been quite a while since I've seen Ronnie Alonte (Alfie) in a film or drama series, but his acting chops are still damn fine (not to mention he is still good-looking albeit more mature now and thinner compared before?). Loisa Andalio (Fiona) was also good in playing the "baduy" (uncool) character in the past as well as the spunky and artistic girl of the present. Props also to acting chops of the (step)parents Henry and Darlene who are played by veteran actors (and real-life couple) Ariel Rivera and Gelli de Belen. The supporting characters were quite bland to be honest but it's negligible.
Story-wise, although there were some plot points which kinda felt forced or incredulous, the plot's premise is still strong and a good one to watch. I just have a small issue with the pacing of the story. I love the fact that it's only six episodes so it's not that long to binge-watch. However, I think the conflict resolution between the main couple seems to be a bit hurried in the final episode. Not to mention, although there were hints of a reconciliation between the (step)parents, it was somehow unresolved in the end. But maybe, that was intentionally done in order to have second season? hehe
Music plays an important role in this series since the female lead plays in a band and her romantic partner also plays the guitar. The songs were quite meaningful and emotive - it makes the scenes more touching. I honestly did not expect Loisa to have a good voice but that was a good suprise.
This is a must-watch for anyone who loves a fast-paced romantic comedy drama with not so heavy issues in the characters. Glad I binge-watched this today (Valentine's Day 2021). If only I had my own Ronnie. haha
P.S. I am so glad that I subscribed to iwant TFC. If I weren't, I would not have discovered this drama. haha. More of this please. :-D

My Feel-Good Mini-Series
My first issue when I saw this is their incest-like story. Well, I liked that they end it just on the first episode because of some circumstance. And I loved how they have a similar story with the Korean movie Parasite but it is a romatic-comedy genre, not suspense or thriller.I had fun watching it. The chemistry of the leads is there. It is now my favorite romance mini-series from the Philippines. The story is nice. My only issue is it only has six episodes. It is very short that they solve all the problems in one last episode. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.

cute & fluffy drama
First of all, this isn't an incest drama. They are not siblings, just almost when fiona's dad and Alfie's mom almost married each other. They lived with eachother for awhile but then their parents seperated. Again that sounds wrong but they aren't in a relationship when they end up together.They met again after years.
The story isn't common and can actually be misunderstood if it wasn't properly explained. It's a cute fluffy romance that you would probably want after a heavy drama that you've watched.
The leads are visuals aswell, Alfie is so handsome mygosh they both glowed up in this series!
Music is actually a main thing in this seried and i'm impressed, I liked the songs. The lead's voice is soothing I actually liked the song I kept it on repeat on yt lol
overall I liked this mini web drama, I hope they make more series like this, I loved it! Hoping for more dramas for loisa and ronnie <8
