According to Fedelin, his character in the series, a young man with a heart condition, does not worry too much about his condition and imminent death. “Sa character ko dito, wala ako pakialam sa kamatayan. Kung ano &#x27;yung kakahantungan, kung ano &#x27;yung mangyayari bukas, wala siyang pakialam. Kung ano &#x27;yung nakikita niya ngayon, kung san siya nakatayo, &#x27;yun lang papakialaman &#x27;yan,” the actor revealed. He explained that the series hopes to remind the viewers to see death not as an end but a motivation to accomplish more things while still being alive. “Ang matuturo namin sa kanila, at pakay namin na makita nila sa series na ito ay huwag titingnan &#x27;yung death bilang deadline kung &#x27;di motivation na gawin &#x27;yung mga bagay na gusto natin magawa,” Fedelin explained.<figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BK2F4YLWG4k?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>For Brillantes, she learned the importance of confessing one’s feelings and not wasting time when it comes to love and commitment.“Umamin ka na. Don&#x27;t waste your time. Huwag ka magpadala sa takot mo na kasi maraming teknikal. Bawal ganito. Bawal ganyan. Sabihin mo na &#x27;yung totoong nararamdaman n&#x27;yo. Minsan mas magandang sabihin mo na before it&#x27;s too late,” the actress said.Brillantes also shared about watching “The Fault In Our Stars” and “A Walk To Remember” which have the same vibe as their new series. She also admitted that there is pressure coming into a new project as they just finished the inspirational series “Huwag Kang Mangamba.”“Grabe &#x27;yung pressure kasi kakaalis lang namin from &#x27;Huwag Kang Mangamba&#x27;. Medyo wala kami masyadong pahinga. Mas umaapaw pa rin &#x27;yung saya kahit pagod na kami physically. Mentally, buong-buo kami. Nakakaiyak,” Brillantes assured. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/11/23/21/watch-sethdreas-saying-goodbye-official-trailer">WATCH: iQiyi releases SethDrea’s tear-jerking ‘Saying Goodbye’ official trailer</a></li></ul>“Blessing ito pero itong blessing na ipinagkaloob sa amin na may halong responsibilidad.
