It's really wild how CGM manages to execute a film with a cliched plot into something magical
On a random afternoon, I decided to watch this film without expecting much. Just for kilig (an expression of squealing with joy). And what I did not expect is that.... I'll like it.
With the famous 'star magic formula', the story revolves around teenagers' lives with how they consume social media. Of course, romance is inevitable. Although the social media context is a bit draggy, I could say that there are a lot of life lessons in this film: how social media could manipulate you, and what you could do for clout. I even thought this would just be romance-centric. There is an observation of family drama, too. The mother-daughter relationship dynamic got me crying.
How the casts managed to pull off their chemistry is really great. They never acted like they were neophytes. Especially the main leads. Agot Isidro is exceptional as always.
The soundtrack was alright. Considering some films would just add songs to fill the ~vibes~ in the scene, Love on First Stream has the exact music that would fit the scenario. But it did not give me the LSS.
Overall, it is a nice watch thanks to the actors' gold acting. If you want to watch a plot that is not really too heavy or disturbing, this is your sign to start the film.
