<p>Titled “It’s Complicated,” the fourth story of <strong>Dear MOR: Celebrity Specials</strong> circles around a fresh graduate, who got the biggest plot twists in her romantic life having been involved in a chaotic, bittersweet love web. It’s a tricky tale that, in the end, boils down to choosing between the person you love and the one who loves you.</p><p>MOR’s DJ Bea narrates the first part of the letter, which smoothly fades into the actual voice dramatization. Letter sender Kim (Shanaia Gomez) shared her story beginning from when she was a new hire in a company where she met Sid (Eian Rances), as well as Rachel and Ronnie, who both were re-assigned from another branch. </p><div> </div><div><iframe complicated="" height="712" its="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/anNqWnZyeu8" title="Dear MOR: " width="1264"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>They became instant friends and eventually formed a solid ‘barkada.’ However, drama crawled into their small group when Sid accidentally confessed his feelings for Rachel, who firmly rejected him. Kim cried after the confession, giving listeners a hint of jealousy and pain. </p><p>Despite the hurt, Kim even supported and helped Sid win Rachel’s heart. One time, while having dinner in a restaurant, she pretended to go somewhere so Sid and Rachel can have their private time to sift through their issues. She bumped into Ronnie outside the restaurant and was convinced to open up about her feelings for Sid. Ronnie knew all along, anyway. The conversation went from heartbreaking to hopeful when Ronnie encouraged Kim to fight for Sid. Assuming that Ronnie likes Rachel, Kim also offered him the confidence to pursue Rachel. </p><p>Kim continued to put effort in getting Sid’s attention, albeit difficult because all he thinks of is Rachel. She thought consistency and her sweet gestures would convince Sid that she’s also worth noticing. She also got plenty of help from Ronnie, who kept working on his little plans such as spending more time with Rachel so Sid would be stuck with her.  </p><div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Eian-Shanaia Dear MOR It’s Complicated" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/07/05/dear-mor-1.jpg"/></div><div> </div><p>But Kim’s romantic illusions had to come to an end. Jealous over Sid and Rachel’s Tagaytay escapade, she unintentionally exposed her true feelings. She told Rachel to try to love Sid and don’t let him wait that long. But if Rachel has no intentions of reciprocating Sid’s feelings, then, she must be considerate enough to let him go and find someone else. She loves Sid, she was pushed to admit. The ladies perfectly understood each other. None of Kim’s real talk marred their friendship.</p><p>However, Sid would have violent reactions after learning about the girls’ conversation, believing that Rachel rejected him to appease Kim. He was so furious all he said are painful and traumatic statements, accusing Kim of throwing herself at him. In a tone so degrading and cruel, he said he would never fall in love with her.  This part of the story hurt most if you have learned to like Kim and her sweet, pure, and kind-hearted ways. You’d feel for her.  </p><div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Eian-Shanaia Dear MOR It’s Complicated" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/07/05/dear-mor-2.jpg"/></div><div> </div><p>Then, Ronnie entered the office to stop Sid from screaming and humiliating Kim. When it was only the two of them left in the room, Ronnie soothed Kim’s hurt and reminded her that she doesn’t deserve to be treated that way. She doesn’t deserve to be shouted at and insulted, said Ronnie. </p><p>Seeing how the “plan’ only hurt Kim in the end, Ronnie admitted he has no feelings for Rachel and that he only tried to get her attention so Sid and Kim will have more time together. Because truth is, he wishes for nothing but Kim’s happiness. For Ronnie, who liked Kim in silence, her happiness is the air he breathes. He will only live seeing her happy, even if she finds it in another guy. </p><p>But, this time, he’s taking the risk to pursue her. </p><p>And Kim was left with bittersweet realizations and dilemmas – now that she can’t force the one she loves to feel the same, will she learn to love the one who is willing to stay and give her back all the love she’s trying to give? </p><p>Dear MOR: Celebrity Specials “It’s Complicated” is packed with scenes that remind us love can be tricky. We can’t blame Kim for fighting for a one-sided love though. After all, loving unconditionally is the more satisfying route. There’s fulfillment in giving without expecting in return. Well, every relationship can mean different things to us; we just have to see what we truly deserve and what works best for us.  </p><div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Eian-Shanaia Dear MOR It’s Complicated" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/07/05/dear-mor-3.jpg"/></div><div> </div><p>The story is enough to make us want to root for Kim but Shanaia’s sweet portrayal added to its charm. There’s a bonus acoustic song number from her too! Although a radio drama in form, Eian’s voice acting made it possible to immerse ourselves in that intense confrontation with Shanaia. We felt his disappointment and even his glares. </p><p>Apart from Shanaia and Eian, more Kapamilya stars will be lending their voices to relatable love stories in Dear MOR Celebrity Specials, every Monday at 11 pm, on MOR Entertainment’s YouTube Channel.  </p>
