Must Be... Love (2013)

"Must Be Love" actually started KathNiel`s ( Kathryn & Daniel) trend of being the King and Queen of breaking movie box office records in Phillipines and took their stardom to another level.This movie is definitely more youth oriented,but still leaves a important message about self-love. Kathryn and Daniel are both TERRIFIC actors and co-stars!Their chemistry is MAGICAL and they always make me swoon.They took the friends-to-lovers trope on a whole another level about the child-hood bestfriends Patchot and Ivan.Patchot is the one who first relizes that she have loved him all along and it will take time for the charming Ivan to realize that his beloved bestfriend always have been his dream girl. But...love indeed makes you blind sometimes.

I absolutely loved watching Liza Soberano on-screen,she looks so beautiful! I also know she starred as the second female lead again in "Got To Believe" which is another KathNiel starrer.So glad she gets the female lead roles now!Again,i adored this movie.It is lovely,funny and so romantic!Absolutely love the dance sequences with Ivan and Patchot-simply magical!

A New Favorite: Love Triangle and Meaning of Love Done Right

It wasn't groundbreaking or fresh or anything like that. But it is definitely a favorite now. The acting was spectacular, especially when we got into heavier/deeper emotions. I was laughing and crying and holding my breath right alongside the leads. And the way that the story handled the love triangle was excellently done. No despicable villains here. And we didn't just watch as the leads fell in love, we watched as the female lead learned about self-love as well. It's a precious story. And I was sold on it for every minute (except for few instances of second-hand embarrassment that is). My camera is also now filled with pictures from the movie. And I have downloaded several songs as well (my favorite is Di Mo Inakala by Juris).

If I have 1 complaint, it's that the film seems to have tried too hard at being "trendy" with all the acronyms. I've never seen a film try to use so many before. But, they did mention what each of them meant, and you don't have to commit any to memory. So while it was a bit clunky, it didn't get in the way much.

I will also admit that there is a sizable focus on appearances throughout the film. So if that's a subject matter that's sensitive for you, I don't think this film will work out.
