[@euphorickid5271]

Is it true that Zhin and Chow used to date?

[@Gabby-dg7hr]

[@taruchi2404]

Thank you so much for putting the song on Apple Music! I asked on Instagram and I didn’t think you would actually put it on Apple Music haha.

[@flashingneongreen]

Already been having the duet version ON REPEAT on Spotify since I watched Episode 2!! Really applaud Adria for crying from start to end - and it's some of the most realistic and natural crying I've seen on local KZbin, so GOOD FREAKING JOB (also please drink lots of water hahahah). Episode 2 really hit me hard also - the entire dinner scene with Rainier wahhhhhh killed me. BUT ALSO Zhin and Sew were HILARIOUS in their reactions. Zhin's agitated Malay accent coming out damn funny. But emoting at all the right places. Dude, trust me, right there with you man. Already recommended the series to all my friends - jiayou and waiting for more in the future ☺️ (P.S. expected Adria to choose John John to marry tho hahahaha cuz they're already practically the same person anyway.)

[@desireeactionz]

The songs in the web series are super nice!! And I really like the duet version!

[@cassidytao2317]

I loved this series! It was an amazing series of firsts for this channel, so glad I could watch, like, and share! ^_^

[@rhearandom338]

omg, i loved the whole series tbh hahahha

[@adeletan1360]

sew is a mood😂😂😂

[@TheMementoMori]

For the sad and crying scenes, one of the best ways to have a genuine moment, you gotta put yourself in a dark place that would be equivalent of the level of sadness felt. Also, multiple takes making the actors frustrated those somewhat help them bring them to those places (if they are already in the mind). They would wanna build on that when you keep on saying cut (check out the making of the last of us, Sarah's final scene and how they film it).

[@wldkcl9755]

I was looking forward to the next episode after I watched the first episode!! It was so good #supportlocal
