Famous Hollywood actress, Yui Marie Kobayashi ate gossips for breakfast, fake news for lunch, and controversies for dinner. Lahat ng mga binabato sa kaniya ay taas-noo niyang hinaharap. For her, there's nothing in this world she can't have with her beauty alone. Twelve years ago, when she was younger, she puts a lot of importance when it comes to her physical appearance. Dahil sa angking ganda ay sanay siyang makatanggap ng puri, sanay siyang pinipili. Call her vain but she wants everything around her to keep-up with her beauty, too. Kaya gano'n nalang ang inis niya sa tuwing nakikita ang bestfriend ng kuya niya - si Dashiel Gauis Yrastorza. Dash is the complete opposite of Yui - he easily gets sick, disorganized not just with his uniform but with his hair, too! At dahil sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari sa eskwelahan noon ay lantaran niya nilait ang panlabas nitong anyo. Twelve years after, Yui is back in the Philippines. Kung ang mga malisyosong intriga sa kaniya'y kaya niyang harapin, ba't takot siyang makaharap uli si Dash? Especially when the boy she thought was an eye-sore is now one of the sought-after gentleman in the country?! Wait... gentle? Will Dash still be the gentle boy after what she did to him?

So devoted that, exaggerated as it might sound, she would have crossed the seven seas for him. But when she discovers his betrayal, the life she built around him shatters, leaving her questioning everything she thought was meant to be. So when an opportunity for her to move on was served to her in the most bizarre way, labag man sa loob ay ginamit iyon ni Psalm: a once-in-a-lifetime, all-expenses-paid trip to the country of love-Italy. She thinks the trip will simply be a dramatic escape filled with ugly crying, sad songs, gallons of gelato, and maybe shouting her frustrations at the Colosseum. But Cupid has other plans. Instead, she's welcomed by a charming, mustached tour guide in a green-red-and-white uniform named Prince. And suddenly, Italy might not just be where she mends her broken heart... It might be where she loses it all over again. ❤️

Fierce, brilliant, and used to winning every battle that comes her way. But some things can't be argued in court. Matapos ang prognosis ng kaniyang OB-GYN at bulung-bulungan na sinumpa raw ang mga babae sa angkan nila, Hazel is forced to confront the one thing she cannot control: time. Determined to become a mother on her own terms, she chooses the scientific route. No emotions. No complications. There's only one problem: no donor seems good enough for the notoriously picky lawyer. Dr. Andro Lois Guinoo, 30. A renowned obstetrician-gynecologist specializing in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Successful, stable, and perfectly content with his life, so much so that out of boredom, he once had his sperm frozen. He was out of the 'pressure cooker' kumbaga, lalo na't nabigyan na ng kapatid niya ng mga apo ang mga magulang nila. Hazel wants to have a baby scientifically. Andro insists some things are meant to be done traditionally. Once upon a time, they were childhood friends who crossed the line of being "just" friends. Now, years later, fate brings them back to the same place, compelling Hazel and Andro to face not only the choices they've made, but also the promise they once whispered in the innocence of youth.
