Why You Should Watch It Now
1. It showcases the undeniable & sizzling β¨ chemistry between Barbie and David that joyously π transcends from TV to the big screen. Even the seniors in the cinema where I watched it can't help giggle every time they have confrontation scenes. π
2. It's a romantic π comedy that serves on point yet very tenseπ₯and butterflies-in-the-stomach inducing conversations between the main leads - you would wish you are there in the scene with them. ππ The yacht scene is my most favorite. I wish Adam and Mila would stay in that yacht until they produce 12 kids together. π π
But, seriously, that yacht long-conversation scene can really make your heart tremble and make your knees weak. π 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 π in this movie. She officially ended π
her teen-girl persona era while she struts around wearing all those chic and fashionable outfits.
4. Some scenes are filmed in South Korea. πΈ They added more romantic ambiance β¨ to the whole story.
5. No villains, no side stories, the whole movie is all about how love finds Adam and Mila. π
6. No poverty porn! Yes! It depicts the Philippines positively - showing affluent places and decent working and dwelling spaces of the female lead. I just hate it when Filipino movies keep on showcasing poverty porn.
My only complaint is, it's TOO short despite the fact that it is a 2-HOUR-PLUS LONG movie. I feel like I wanted more. It's BITIN! It's not enough for me π π
