HandoutMANILA -- With 14 episodes already released, Puregold&#x27;s hit boys&#x27; love (BL) series “Got My Eyes on You” has captivated viewers with its kilig moments, leaving them wanting more after each five-minute drop.</div>Set in the scenic S-Cape Villa, the series is a winning combination of swoon-worthy BL romance with a grounded and earnest look at the sacrifices Filipino breadwinners make for their families.At its core, “Got My Eyes on You” is a charming enemies-to-lovers story about Drew (Mikoy Morales), the committed villa operations manager, and Shawn (Esteban Mara), the always-calm-and-collected guest relations officer, who are both competing for the position of S-Cape general manager.However, the plot is more than just a battle of ambition and attraction. Shawn, who hails from a wealthy family, wants to demonstrate his independence and capability despite his affluent upbringing, but Drew bears the greater burden: as the earner, he supports his family and pays for his younger sibling&#x27;s education.In Episode 8, he made this clear. “May pinapatapos pa akong bunso, eh. Kung prangkahan lang din naman, kailangan ko talaga ang posisyon na ‘yon. Kaya ayoko ‘yang lovelife-lovelife na ‘yan. Hindi ko priority ‘yan,” Drew emphasized, demonstrating how young Filipino people are willing to sacrifice romance for responsibility.Nonetheless, sparks develop between Drew and Shawn. Viewers have seen their fun bickering accompanied by frequent mocking by villa co-workers, accountant Moira (Hannah Lee) and events coordinator Wilfred (Darwin Yu). The undeniable chemistry shines through not only in heated fights, but also in more relaxed moments, such as when they spend time with their dogs, Matcha and Miller.Fans couldn&#x27;t get over the scene after the office party, when Drew, inebriated and vulnerable, fell asleep next to Shawn and awoke in his arms. Beyond these instances of kilig, the series remains authentic. Drew&#x27;s struggle represents a reality that is frequently overlooked on film — for many Filipinos, love feels like a luxury when there are mouths to feed and expenses to pay.Puregold senior marketing manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad explained, “The series is not just about kilig; it’s about reality. It is hard to think about love when you are thinking about family and survival, and this is the common Filipino experience. ‘Got My Eyes on You,’ while a love story, also depicts a hard truth for breadwinners, and Filipino norm expectations.”In the coming episodes, fans will find answers to the question: will Drew&#x27;s heart triumph over his strong sense of responsibility, or will love remain out of reach?The most recent episodes of &quot;Got My Eyes on You&quot; can be seen on the Puregold TikTok Channel (@puregoldph), and will soon be available on the Puregold Channel on YouTube.
