CBY Reveals How KathNiel's acting has grown

'Crazy Beautiful You’ reveals how Kathniel's acting

has grown

It looks like Daniel Padilla and Kathryn

Bernardo have definitely come a long way

since they were first paired fours years ago in

the weekly show Growing Up. Having

graduated to Primetime Bida seryes like

Princess and I and Got to Believe, the

“Kathniel” tandem has risen to become one of

the most popular teen love teams of this

generation. Despite having already done five

movies together for Star Cinema (24/7 In

Love, Sisterakas, Must Be Love, Pagpag, and

She's Dating the Gangster) Crazy Beautiful

You is where they are finally able to showcase

how much their acting has really grown and

matured.

In the movie, they play teens Kiko and Jackie

who both grow up in broken homes but with

very different socio-economic backgrounds.

Kiko (Daniel Padilla) is from Tarlac and is the

family breadwinner to three younger siblings

and one irresponsible single mom (Assunta De

Rossi). He earns a living working as a local

tour guide and driver for his dad (Gabby

Concepcion) who is also the town mayor that

already has a new family. Inigo Pascual and

Tippy Dos Santos play his more privileged

half-siblings.

Jackie (Kathryn Bernardo) is a rich rebellious

girl from Manila who likes living on the edge

after having grown up without her mother

(Lorna Tolentino) who left for the States when

her marriage fell apart.

When Jackie's mom decides to bring her along

for a medical mission in an Aeta village in

Tarlac, Kiko is tasked to help her become

more compassionate. But Jackie tries her best

to trick him so she can escape back to the

city.

More than the “kilig” scenes and the

numerous memorable lines in the movie, Crazy

Beautiful You has got to be Kathniel's most

challenging big screen roles to date because

of the depth of acting the characters require.

The layers of emotions in both teens was

complex because of their complicated family

history.

Jackie's (Kath) dramatic confrontation

scene with her estranged mom (Lorna) were

heartfelt and raw, as any child who grew up

without a parent knows. DJ was a revelation

in his subtle yet poignant scenes as the

selfless son who never gave his parents any

heartache. We bet seeing DJ in this light will

make it hard for anyone to leave the theater

with a dry eye. His scenes with half-brother

(Inigo) was also an interesting element in the

storyline because he had to show a deep inner

conflict between his dedication to his family

and the girl he falls in love with.

DJ and Kath's interaction with the younger

members of the cast which included two

young Aeta girls were also memorable

because of the genuine connection they

projected onscreen.

Crazy Beautiful You is more than just a feel

good “kilig vibes” kind of movie. This Kathniel

movie will teach you many lessons about life,

love, and growing up. Crazy Beautiful You

proves that love for family extends beyond

blood and that holding on to pain from the

past
