I have watched so many Filipino RomComs and this movie has now found itself in my top 5. I love how it seems like your typical love story but it really wasn't.
I salute the director, actors and story writer for creating such a beautiful masterpiece. Everything is connected together splendidly. It took me on a journey of laughter, tears, and self-reflection.
Burn (Gerald) is your typical main character who has a dark, painful backstory. He then ends up at Happy Sunshine Camp where he meets Abi (Pia) - the most energetic girl who gives an all-out service and makes you pay the fee with a smile. I loved the cinematography and how beautiful the scenery was. There was plenty of corny, funny and kilig moments which ends up with them loving each other.
Then the plot twist happened. This is where I was in awe of Gerald's acting skills and wished I had more tissues.
I love how it ends the same way it started and completes a full circle. You realise the hidden links, foreshadowing and the meaning of the title. I left the movie theatre full of hope. This movie highlights social issues and the fact that everyone has their own problems but shouldn't give up. :)
PS Thank you for taking the time to read my long review.
