Puregold’s Got My Eyes on You drops truth bombs on the realities of modern dating

In Puregold’s Got My Eyes on You, fans witness the many realities of modern dating.

 

Can two workplace achievers compete for a promotion yet fall in love as they do? The answer apparently is yes, as depicted in Puregold’s TikTok BL series Got My Eyes on You, the story of Drew (Mikoy Morales) and Shawn (Esteban Mara) and how their disparate circumstances and a common goal drive them closer rather than apart.

With an undercurrent of romantic tension between them, Shawn and Drew are shown navigating a brewing office romance as they savor light moments with their friends and co-workers Moira (Hannah Lee) and Wilfred (Darwin Yu). Indeed, with GMEOY’s honest take on love, friendship, and ambition, the episodes readily ensnare hearts and rack up views.

Beyond all this, however, viewers may expect GMEOY to shed light on the beautiful yet confusing realities of modern dating.

In Got My Eyes on You, Shawn aspires to become General Manager to prove his
capabilities–while quietly harboring feelings for rival, Drew.

Drew starts to navigate complicated feelings, like admiration and jealousy, for Shawn,
in the latest episodes of Got My Eyes on You.

Here are some truths about love revealed on Puregold’s Got My Eyes on You. For many of us, responsibilities come before romance.

In Episode 14, Drew opens up to Shawn on why the General Manager position means so much to him. He says, “Ako nagpapaaral sa mga kapatid ko,” he admits, showing that his goals come from a place of love and duty.

Meanwhile, although he comes from a wealthy family, Shawn also wants to prove himself. In today’s world, many can relate to putting dreams and family first, even as love quietly grows in the background.

‘No labels’ means no rules, but all the feelings. In Episodes 17 to 19, Drew begins to realize that he is falling for Shawn. When he sees

Shawn chatting with someone else, jealousy creeps in, even if he knows he has no right to feel that way. He asks, “Ano ba tayo para magselos ako?”

Modern dating often encourages “no labels” and situations, which entail having feelings while pretending you’re not supposed to.

Work and love don’t always mix well.

In Episode 15, Sir Trevor (Victor Sy) confronts Drew and Shawn about their growing closeness. “May relasyon ba kayong dalawa kaya pati ang work, apektado?” Both then try to keep things professional, even avoiding each other in Episode 16.

However, their rivalry for the General Manager position only makes things more complicated, especially as the attraction becomes even harder to ignore.
Confession is hard, even when it’s obvious.

In Episode 18, the trepidation we usually feel when we reveal our feelings manifests when Drew wonders, “What if hindi niya ako gusto?”

The truth is, we all want to be honest but are held back by the fear of rejection. In the modern dating world, people safeguard their hearts with humor and subtlety—and taking the first step is the hardest thing to do.

Sometimes, friends give you the push you need. As things turn awkward between Drew and Shawn in Episode 20, Shawn turns to Moira and Wilfred for advice. Just like in the real world, friends listen, tease, and push you toward what you are too afraid to do yourself.

Drew (Mikoy Morales) of Got My Eyes on You is a hardworking dreamer who tries to
prioritize his responsibilities over the possibility of a romance with Shawn.

Recent episodes of Got My Eyes on You on Puregold’s TikTok channel show how
work and love don’t always mix so well–and how Shawn and Drew keep falling for each other
despite this reality.

In Episode 24, Moira and Wilfred even conspire to have Drew and Shawn share a night shift. Sometimes, love needs a little help from the people who see it before you do.

Love can grow in the most ordinary moments.

Even as they try to fight it, Drew and Shawn fall deeper for each other during simple shared moments—vet visits, a casual photoshoot, a deep conversation.
This reminds us that even in the complicated world of modern dating, love does not always need drama or grand gestures. Sometimes, time, laughter, and openness are enough.
