Puregold’s popular boys’ love (BL) series Got My Eyes on You continues to draw viewers with its mix of romance and realism, portraying how love often takes a back seat for Filipino breadwinners.
Now on its 14th episode, the five-minute-per-episode series is set in the scenic S-Cape Villa and follows Drew (Mikoy Morales), a hardworking operations manager, and Shawn (Esteban Mara), a composed guest relations officer, who both aspire to become the villa’s general manager.
What begins as rivalry turns into a slow-burn connection, but their circumstances differ. Shawn, raised in comfort, strives to prove his independence, while Drew shoulders the financial burden of supporting his family and funding his sibling’s education.
In one scene, Drew reveals his priorities: “May pinapatapos pa akong bunso, eh… kailangan ko talaga ang posisyon na ’yon. Kaya ayoko ’yang lovelife-lovelife na ’yan.” His words highlight a sentiment shared by many young Filipinos who prioritize responsibility over romance.
Despite his resolve, chemistry brews between Drew and Shawn through playful exchanges and tender moments—whether during work banter or quiet scenes with their dogs, Matcha and Miller. One fan-favorite scene shows Drew drunkenly falling asleep beside Shawn after an office party, waking up in his arms the next morning.
Puregold senior marketing manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad said the series resonates because it captures reality. “It is hard to think about love when you are thinking about family and survival, and this is the common Filipino experience,” she said. “Got My Eyes on You, while a love story, also depicts a hard truth for breadwinners and Filipino norm expectations.”
The coming episodes are expected to reveal whether Drew will give in to his feelings or keep love out of reach.
