In today’s world, kilig doesn’t just happen in coffee shops or chance encounters.
Sometimes, it happens on your For You Page. Puregold’s newest Boy’s Love (BL) vertical series, “Got My Eyes on You,” is taking over TikTok, with its vibrant and fun episodes dominating For You Pages and commenters asking for more – with netizens saying, “next episode, please” or “bitin!”
Viewers are keeping their eyes glued to their screens, eagerly anticipating what is next on this refreshing take on the BL genre, sparking
excitement among audiences – Gen Z, millennials, and the LGBTQIA+ community, among many others.
The official press launch held September 16 at Rampa Club turned into a celebration of love, fan energy and Filipino creativity. Hosted by radio DJ and voice actor Papa JT, the event gave guests a deeper look into the world of “Got My Eyes on You” and its colorful cast.
“Got My Eyes on You” transports us to S-Cape Haven Villa, a picture-perfect resort where ambition, friendship, and romance collide. At its heart are two characters destined to clash, and maybe fall in love: Shawn, the mysterious guest relations manager (Esteban Mara), and Drew,
the ambitious operations manager (Mikoy Morales). Their enemies-to-lovers tension is already fueling comment wars between Team Shawn and Team Drew.
The press con kicked off with Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Puregold senior marketing manager, who spoke about the company’s intent to champion inclusivity and representation through entertainment. The spotlight then turned to the ensemble cast: Toniyuh as the balikbayan influencer guest, Victor Sy as Sir Trevor and Hannah Lee as Moira. While not present during the event, Ady Cotoco and Darwin Yu made waves with their roles as wealthy fashionista Kirk and events coordinator Wilfred, set to be an intriguing pair to watch out for in the series.
Adding to the pride of the day was the announcement that “Got My Eyes on You” was brought to life by Puregold CinePanalo film festival graduates director Dizelle Masilungan and director of photography Lloyd Garciano, joined by assistant director Ram Tolentino and production designer Migo Morales. This only shows that Filipino talent, when nurtured, shines brilliantly.
The launch was far from your standard press con. Guests joined a Queer Trivia Challenge that tested pop culture knowledge and got up close with the cast in an open forum. The day closed on a high with a fan meet that had audiences buzzing.
Catch new episodes of “Got My Eyes on You” every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 7 pm on Puregold’s official TikTok page @puregoldph.
