Movie Review: Minamahal

Watching Minamahal felt like being transported back to my first love. AshDres delivered maximum kilig with their effortless chemistry, natural performances, and undeniable sweetness on screen.

The film tells the story of an introverted high school flower enthusiast who tries to win the heart of a love-hating visual artist by giving her flowers at key moments in her life. Their journey takes us through an on-and-off friendship and romance that begins in high school and continues into college, where the challenges of adulthood and reality start to unfold.
