After challenging times, everyone deserves to welcome better days.
And that is exactly what upcoming Boys’ Love (BL) series titled, Better Days promise to their followers.
For those unfamiliar, BL genre follows and depicts blossoming romances between young men.
Headlined by Chesther Chua and Benedix Ramos, the two digital influencers are set to play the roles of Kian Nuestro and Aron Villegas respectively to highlight love and food in the digital six-episode series written and directed by Carlo A. Obispo.
They may be considered as “newbies” in the entertainment industry but these two are set to prove that they got the looks, brains, and most especially the skills.
Produced by Unframed Film and co-produced by LoveJohn Media Productions and Uncle Scott Global Productions in cooperation with Rough Road Productions, Better Days will premiere this October 30, 2020.
The director is proud to say that Better Days looks beyond the usual sensual romance.
“Better Days won’t dwell too much sa intimacy but we are to highlight other aspects of love and relationship, not just the physical attraction.”
He briefly shares, “Nung nagbe-brainstorming kami ng producer ko, if we wanted to make a BL, nag-agree kami na magiging inspirational siya.”
“’Yung kwento ng BL is inspired by mga real-life couples na na-achieve ‘yung kanilang mga dreams, well marami kaming mga kaibigan like in the film industry alone, may mga BL couples na they share their dreams, ‘yung love nila is founded on ambitions, goals and dreams nila at sabay nilang ina-achieve together.”
Unframed Film Executive Producer Kristian Villaflor added, “we are offering love as a venue in fulfilling their individual dreams by growing together.”
Describing his character, 21-year-old Benedix says, “Aron is a man of few words.
“He is someone you can’t really judge immediately, napaka-misteryoso niyang tao na kailangan mo muna siyang makausap para tuluyan mo siyang makilala.”
Laughing, he adds, “this is something na medyo nahirapan ako kasi if you know me personally, you would notice na I like talking.”
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Chesther had no difficulties in portraying his role as Kian Nuestro mainly because “isa siyang vlogger, hindi naman masyadong nalalayo sa totoong ako kasi pareho kami ng passion and ng ginagawa.
“May pagka-kwela siya at makulit.”
Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, Direk Carlo and the production team did their pre-production virtually finishing their online casting in three days.
Instead of dwelling on the delays in their timeline, the team opted to focus on the good things brought about by the quarantine period.
