[IF I FALL SEQUEL] Hindi lahat ng sequel, maganda.

The thing with Valentine's Day is, either you hate it or you love it. And Zade Pascual definitely belongs to the first category. Para sa kanya, isang araw lang ito ng commercialized version ng pag-ibig. Walang kakilig-kilig at napakalayo sa true love stories na nababasa niya sa mga libro. Nasubok ang kanyang anti-Valentine's sentiment when she unexpectedly meets Andreau Cortez-an award-winning actor and film student at her university-in the cafe where she works-- on Valentine's Day of all days. Andreau, their new cafe regular, surprises Zade by asking for her help with his latest short film project, which she hesitantly agrees to. Despite a rocky start, Zade discovers the real Andreau Cortez beyond the camera and celebrity gossip. Over the fika-not date hangouts and late-night conversations, their effortless friendship blurs into something more, to the point na akala ng lahat (yes, friends and family included) na sila na ni Andreau. Caught off guard by her evolving feelings, Zade must confront her own heart. Hanggang best friend nga lang ba ang tingin niya kay Andreau? Can their story unfold like the happy endings she loves in books? Well, sometimes, the best love stories take time to tell.

Bruises fade over time but I guess some of them last longer than others.

"Opposite attracts" they said. He's Mr. almost-perfect-who-has-everything. She's Miss. perfect-but-lost-and-broken.

They surpassed a lot of trials in Love Game, and had their happy ever after in the Game of Love. But are they really meant for each other? Or are they, mismatched?

When a CHOICE was made in the past, will there still be a CHANCE to CHANGE it in the present? But what if LOVE has been FORGOTTEN? What if you have to start all over again? Will you take the RISK for the second time around? Or will you just let this chance pass? Love is a game we all want to play. A game that we all want to win. A game where we take risks. - Game of Love

What if you have to choose between your DREAMS and LOVE? Would you choose to get both knowing that you can't give your best? Or would you rather choose one, knowing you'll lose the other? Life is a tough game. A game that everyone plays. But unlike the game of life, not everyone is privileged to play, the LOVE GAME.
