In the tapestry of teenage life, bad habits, bullying, and family issues have always been part of the story, no matter which generation we're talking about. Whether it's the older generation (baby boomers) or the younger one (Gen Z), it seems like these problems always show up. What makes them different is how they happen, how people deal with them, and how much they affect us. And this is just my thoughts and my observation, I'm not a guru or an expert but probably thoughts of me being once a teenager.

For people who love movies and books, these things are like the essential ingredients in a recipe. Just like a dish isn't tasty without the right spices, growing up isn't complete without these challenges. People often say, and it's somewhat true, that these difficulties are a normal part of growing up. At some point in your life, there's always someone who makes things tough for you. What matters is how you handle it and how it affects you.

Teban, who is looking to start anew after being released from prison due to theft, initially refuses Lea’s bribe but agrees later on in a desperate attempt to pay for his sick brother’s hospital bills.

After becoming a household name for her award-winning role in the movie “Fan Girl,” Charlie Dizon is playing another fearless character in her latest project – a hopeless romantic searching for true love, even if it kills her.

She suffers from xeroderma pigmentosum, an illness that could turn deadly if she is exposed to sunlight for a long period of time. As a result, Ciara is unable to travel the world but she makes up for this by watching travel vlogs and making friends online.

Despite her rare condition, Ciara believes that she is still capable of falling in love and believes that she will find the right person who will love her back.

Ciara then comes across and develops a deep bond with Lucas (Jameson), a travel enthusiast just like her who promises to help her accomplish all her goals in her travel bucket list.

But as the two start to get closer, Ciara realizes that it is not only her sickness that will hinder her from meeting up with Lucas. Her strict mother Melissa (Mylene Dizon) will prevent them from seeing each other and will even go as far as confronting Lucas to stay away from her daughter.

However, Ciara does not know that Lucas maliciously planned and manipulated her into falling in love with him so that he could help execute his father Elias’ (Joem Bascon) evil intentions.

Why does Elias want to get revenge on Ciara’s family? What will happen when Ciara and Lucas’ love for one another actually becomes real and unconditional?
