Danilo, a self-destructive man falls for a ghost from the American-era Philippines, pursuing love and gold, only to discover some dreams demand a price he might not be able to afford.


***

Danilo's life is a mess. From the nightly drinking to chain smoking to the constant nagging of his mother, it seems like nothing is ever going right until he meets Dulnuan, a ghost who lived during the time of the American imperialism in the Philippines. He befriends her, and she becomes a light at the end of his dark tunnel with a promise of a love that defies death and a chest of gold that could free him from his misery. But love between the living and the dead can't last, and treasure always comes with a cost. As Danilo chases the shimmer of hope, he must decide how much of himself he is willing to lose for an impossible wish.

My Boyfriend Is A Ghost

14 parts Ongoing

They said that love is a great weapon. At first, I didn't believe that-because for me, loving someone only means getting hurt easily. But everything changed when I met him... or should I say, a ghost? I never expected that I would fall for him so easily, love him in just a second. My story with him isn't perfect, but being with him made me realize that love can be truly magical. Imagine - a human falling in love with a ghost. But in every story, there's always an ending. I never thought I'd reach the point where I'd ask myself: Should I wake up to reality and face the truth... or stay asleep, just to be with him? ᜀᜎ᜔ᜌ᜔ᜈ᜔
