A weekend, four people, a boy who knows what he wants, a girl with a broken heart, an effeminate cousin, and a boy who must assume his own sexuality and stop hiding.
The series, from the production company Sanny Istudyo TV, introduces us to budding vlogger and podcaster Winston (Matthew Francisco), who finds a way to boost his channel by helping his friend Heart (Ramona Vega) find love. In this way, he will devise an extreme plan to find his friend a boy.
When he was a child, Winston's mother abandoned him and he never fully got over it. His violent father took revenge on the boy, locking him in the closet at home. Winston has grown up with trauma.
Heart, which has the ability to choose the wrong man, after her last boyfriend dumped her, posts a vlog about what happened and it goes viral on the internet.
The vlog is visited by Jaime (Allison Asistio), a singer-songwriter who recovers from heartbreak by writing a song about it. By commenting on Heart's video, Jaime learns of Winston's existence, and automatically falls in love with him.
Winston will help Heart pick up the pieces by putting her in contact with the winner of his virtual contest, who is none other than Jaime, who has decided to participate in Winston's plan to get closer to him. In the same way that Jaime chose Winston as the person he loved, Winston chose Jaime.
However, the plan to spend a weekend at a rented house in Tagaytay owned by Jordan (Gio Emprese), Winston's cousin, where Jaime and Heart are supposed to fall in love, becomes more complicated as Winston's feelings develop and falls in love with Jaime's free spirit.
'Win Jaime's Heart' features a screenplay written by Ajravii RGE AHJ, winner of the Palanca Award. The series is pioneering as it is directed by filmmaker Zyril Nica Bundoc, the first woman to direct a BL series in the Philippine scene, known for her role in 'What a Night! ' (2019) and 'Tambay' ('Stand-By') (2020).
The first impression I have of the series is that I am watching one of those reality shows in which a group of people with very attractive profiles go on vacation to a heavenly place, like the many programs based on the American international hit format "Temptation Island". But with the difference that in this case, whoever emerges victorious, instead of a cash prize, takes home the heart of the person chosen by him.
In 'Win Jaime's Heart' there are two winners: Jaime who manages to win Winston's love, and Winston who finally manages to accept homosexuality and stops hiding, allowing himself to feel good about himself and in his relationship with others from that moment on.
Winston, who has lived his entire life keeping an important part of his life hidden, which has been the cause of internal conflicts, low self-esteem and negative emotions, such as fear or sadness, has finally been able to accept homosexuality naturally and chooses "come out of the closet", revealing their orientation without major problems.
