A dose of fluff
This is typical rom com, sweet, good chemistry and full of predictable fluff, gestures and not a single moment of substance. The perfect filler with pretty shots, cliches for as far as the eye can see, no annoying elemants just pure romcom entertainment.If you are looking for anything new, some kind of depth, signs of intelligence, realism or quality move a long there is nothing to see here. Bit for those of us who can enjoy a moment or two where we turn off our brain and just enjoy the fluff this is not a bad place to find it.

It Delivers Light-Hearted, Unpretentious Storytelling and Palpable Chemistry Between BarDa
Why You Should Watch It Now1. It showcases the undeniable & sizzling ✨ chemistry between Barbie and David that joyously ? transcends from TV to the big screen. Even the seniors in the cinema where I watched it can't help but giggle whenever they have confrontation scenes. ?
2. It's a romantic ? comedy that serves on point yet very tense?and butterflies-in-the-stomach inducing conversations between the main leads - you would wish you were there in the scene with them. ?? The yacht scene is my favorite. I wish Adam and Mila would stay in that yacht until they produce 12 kids together. ? ?
But, seriously, that yacht-long conversation scene can make your heart tremble and your knees weak. ? David has really mastered the subtle acting art. Every nuance, expression, gesture, and vocal delivery of someone who's falling in love - HE BLOODY NAILED IT.
3. Barbie Forteza wears so many beautiful dresses ? in this movie. She officially ended ? her teen-girl persona era while she struts around wearing all those chic and fashionable outfits.
4. Some scenes are filmed in South Korea. ? They added a more romantic ambiance ✨ to the whole story.
5. No villains, no side stories, the whole movie is all about how love finds Adam and Mila. ?
6. No poverty porn! Yes! It depicts the Philippines positively, showing affluent places and decent working and dwelling spaces for the female lead. I hate it when Filipino movies keep on showcasing poverty porn.
My only complaint is that it's TOO short despite being a 2-HOUR-PLUS LONG movie. I wanted more. It's BITIN! It's not enough for me ? ?
