Axel (David Licauco) worked as a DJ in a club. Ria (Shaira Diaz) worked as a call center agent for a medical services company. The two met in college, quickly became sweethearts and decided to live together against the wishes of their families. The first two years had been smooth sailing and happy. However lately, they had been getting into arguments for being remiss with assigned chores and bills to be paid.
Despite reminders from his best friend Chester (Mark Rivera), Axel still willfully entertained these girls, like the pretty, carefree Jiana (Cassie Banks), who throw themselves at him in the bar. Aside from her BFFs Howie (Luis Hontiveros) and Clara (Dindi Pajares), Ria's concerned manager Jacob (JB Saliba) also went out of his way to hear Ria her personal frustrations, which were negatively interfering with her performance at work.
Like the generic title, the story did not really have anything innovative about it. Axel and Ria were just another one of those young adult couples in local romance dramas who go through a very rough patch in their relationships. There was nothing particularly memorable about these two people -- their adulting problems, their relationship issues, or even the bold compromise solution they agreed on -- these had been all done before in other local films.
There are parts in the continuity of the storytelling that did not seem too logical. In one scene they seemed to be making up already, then the very next scene they were at each other's throat again. This was especially evident in the climax and ending, which did not seem to flow smoothly from the scene immediately before it. Not sure if it was a problem with Lawrence Nicodemus's screenplay or RC delos Reyes's direction.
I had seen David Licauco and Shaira Diaz in their first film together -- "Because I Love You" (Joel Lamangan, 2019). Even back then, the two had a good chemistry with each other and were convincing as a couple. That first film was a romcom with wacky characters (he was a billionaire playboy and she's a fireman). That winsome quality also reflected in this more dramatic love story, with more realistic characters which end up at odds with each other. Their sensitive performances elevated the overall quality the film. 6/10.
