** Kurt. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], the pact for him and his ChildhoodFriend{{s}} to regularly meet up even as time goes by was ''his'' idea, but he's the one who struggles to fulfill it the most due to how constantly overworked he is.

The EnsembleCast features Jane Oineza as Maan; Tony Labrusca as Kurt; Myrtle Sarrosa as Juna Mae; Albie Casiño as Hadji; and Jerome Ponce as Denzel. It was released on October 2, 2019 and directed and written by Jason Laxamana.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Rachel to Maan. The former is now dating Maan's ex-boyfriend whom she still has feelings for, and has more subscribers on [[Website/YouTube [=YouTube=]]] just because of {{Fanservice}}. When Maan finally one-ups her subscriber count, Rachel snags the starring role in a glamorous perfume commercial.
* BeYourself: Where Maan's storyline inevitably lands her.
* BrainyBrunette: Juna Mae. She spouts off a lot of wise advice. One way she's depicted bonding with her maybe-boyfriend Hadji is by eloquently reciting science facts to him, who's more clueless.
* ChildhoodFriends: Maan, Kurt, Juna Mae, Hadji, and Denzel.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: One of Juna Mae's bosses tries to get her to sleep with him in exchange for money. She rebuffs him hard.

* HotterAndSexier: A self-imposed change in Maan. She's good-looking even before her makeover, but has a GirlNextDoor look that isn't nearly as effective at gaining followers than the sexy and glamorous Rachel's style.
* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: Kurt to Maan. This is why he refuses to date her even after it becomes undeniable that they're attracted to each other. He says as much.

* MakeOutKids: Hadji and Juna Mae have a healthy sex life, to say the least.

* SickeninglySweethearts: Juna Mae and Hadji are apparently stuck in their own little world. Hadji insists that everybody is fine with their relationship, but Juna Mae is self-conscious about it.
* StepfordSmiler: Downplayed with Juna Mae. She isn't super depressed or anything, but she mentions that her face hurts from fake-smiling at a work event. It's just part of her job.

* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Hadji is a RareMaleExample. He can't call Juna Mae his girlfriend because she doesn't want to slap a label on their relationship, even though they've literally ''moved in together'' and frequently have sex. He wants a more traditional romance, and the fact that he deals with ''a lot'' of romance fiction at work doesn't help. (He does subtitles. A bulk of the stuff he transcribes or translates are romantic flicks.)

** A more direct example is Wes. When Denzel finally reveals his sexuality to Wes, the latter tells him "he's not that kind of person." Denzel is mortified, but Wes explains he just doesn't like one-night stands. It's not a case of IncompatibleOrientation.

* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: Downplayed with Denzel and Wes. Denzel doesn't want to make things official between them because he's afraid Wes isn't good enough for him, but then when Denzel decides he's worth it, Wes discloses that he'd prefer to have an open, polyamorous relationship. This causes Denzel's possessiveness to jump out.

* TheWorkaholic: Kurt. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], the pact for him and his ChildhoodFriend{{s}} to regularly meet up even as time goes by was ''his'' idea, but he's the one who struggles to fulfill it the most due to how constantly overworked he is.

* StraightGay: PlayedWith. The way Denzel talks and acts is pretty typical of a CampGay man in the Philippines, but his physical appearance and clothes are traditionally masculine enough that he passes for straight when he adopts a less campy demeanor. It's demonstrated in his first meeting with Wes.

* OpenMindedParent: Denzel is an out-and-proud gay guy. His father is completely okay with it, encouraging him to settle down, but not with a woman -- he just hopes his son gets married and doesn't care that it's going to be with another man.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Rachel to Maan. The former is now dating Maan's ex-boyfriend whom she still has feelings for, and has more subscribers on [[Creator/YouTube [=YouTube=]]] just because of {{Fanservice}}. When Maan finally one-ups her subscriber count, Rachel shows up in a fancy perfume commercial.

* CommitmentIssues: Denzel. He repeatedly tells his boy toys that he's "busy" (or that he's "on a tight budget" when the other man invites him to a date at the mall). One of them calls him out on it, asking if [[ReallyGetsAround sleeping around]] is just a hobby for him.
