The Monkey Turf Rundown:
YOU. ME. MAYBE. #EnrichOriginals
Episode 4 : GHOSTING IS REAL
10.13.20
It's been years that the team-up of Enchong and Erich was launched and up until today, that magic is still there.
Ghosting is Real episode started with Gianna learning the miserable fact that James - played by Arjo Atayde - started to ghost her as he is already ignoring Gianna's calls and messages. Which is actually a good thing as this hints the start of the Gian-Gianna love story. As they say, when one door closes, another one open.
The last 5 minutes of the episode was everything! The progress of the connection between the two main characters pushed the audience to forget the conflicts that the series have. The natural acting of Erich and the charm and comedic timing of Enchong leaves us craving for more! Ang haharot! Di ko kinaya!
The episode may be less than 15 minutes but what makes us more cringy and clingy of the series is that #EnrichOriginals started to show us a glimpse of what will happen on the next episode - the pictures in the credits!
Can't wait for scene where they are eating their ordered Peri-Peri TOGETHER! On to the next one ๐ค๐ค
Episode 3 : QUARANFLING
10.07.20
I'M SO LATE! I KNOW! It's been like 4 days since #EnrichOriginals dropped episode 3. And I'M SO LIKE WHAT?! That's episode 3 already?!
To my surprise, nothing much happened on a 12min 48secs episode 3 entitled "Quaranfling". I thought there will be a lot of developments, lots of flirting, giddy moments because of 2nd episode's cliffhanger. Thing is, the term "Quaranfling" was just introduced, which should be a good thing - as this gave us the idea that this is just a preview of what's coming up on the next episodes.
So... are we ready #EnRich fans?
Personally, I guess this episode was made for our dear frontliners. It showed how this pandemic is affecting everyone, how people are coping up with it, how resilient we are, the sacrifices that needs to be made and the hope that there will always be people who are more than willing to share what they have, help they can give for all of us to survive these trying times.
And not to forget, that in the middle of this pandemic, there are also people who will order 4 times just to see her favorite delivery guy.... Yes Gianna? Gutom na gutom ba ang tiyan? O gutom ang mga mata? HAHAHAHA! Tawang-tawa talaga sa scene na yun. Well, who can blame her? Gian's smile is everything.
3 days to go 'til episode 4. ๐ค๐ค
Episode 2 : FIGHT AT FIRST SIGHT
9.28.20
Who would have thought that seeing Gian and Gianna fighting could be so refreshing?!! No wonder why the 100k plus views in 10 hours. It was so good!
The episode has its own innocence and charm, that it took the pilot episode's responsibility of building a solid foundation for the whole series. We suddenly find ourselves connecting to its plot.
For a person who always wants to be certain, Gian's hesitations on this episode is quite tricky. We've seen a different Gian when he tries to communicate with Hannah. We felt that vibe - that he already considering the fact the getting Hannah out of the picture will have more positive impact on his life - for now - while he propel to the the place where he wants his company, EAT NOW, to be.
Gianna's accent really adds up to how sensitive and loving her character is. We love her soul in this episode. It is obvious that she is not afraid of letting her emotions out. Which makes her an easy target. There is this feeling that because of how open she is and honest with her emotions, she will be in a more vulnerable position in the future. Don't let her cry that much, please.
The direction that You. Me. Maybe. is going and how fast-paced it is now excites us more. As a viewer, we want to keep this gained momentum.
On to the third episode๐ค๐ค
Episode 1 : MAYBE
9.20.20
Pilot episodes are so critical that it can manuever the whole series to a different route.
It can make or break the whole thing.
You. Me. Maybe.'s episode 1 entitled "Maybe" just dropped last night and I'm just glad that it took a lighter approach in terms of first episodes. Everything is all about introduction - who is Gianna, who is Gian and the people around them.
The episode will never leave you drooling for the next one but you will have this right amount of excitement for the things to come. Which is a good thing. Because the message came across - the series will be promising. It may take us to a different place in the future - which I'm anxious about.
I can sense that Gianna will be the "aasa kasi pinaramdam na may pag-asa pero sigurado na may aasahan ba?" and Gian will be the "mahal kita pero mahal ko rin siya pero masaya ako kapag kasama ka ngunit hindi ko pa siya iiwan kasi ayokong dahil sakin lumungkot siya." Gianna will be certain of her feelings and Gian will be uncertain of his. Hannah will be a problem in the future. Judgemental lang? hehe
Well... these are all assumptions. I might be wrong. I'm ready for episode 2.
