Social media influencers VJ Mendoza, Migo de Vera build unexpected chemistry
The recently concluded series “INN Love” has challenged various stereotypes in the boys’ love (BL) genre with its fun and light approach.
Its director Rodel Mercado shared in an interview his vision—to give his audiences a good laugh, real kilig, and less steamy scenes.
First aired last May 29 at FLP Youtube channel, the series revolves around scriptwriter Gino (VJ Mendoza) and his journey to finish writing at TK Resort and meeting freelance model Alex (Migo de Vera).
VJ and Migo have an unexpected chemistry. Influencer Migo said, “Sa una, hindi mo talaga maiisip ‘yung chemistry pero kapag napanood mo na sa screen, you can feel it na.”
Commercial actor VJ added, “People are messaging me nga na nagagandahan sila sa story. Masaya na ako kapag nakakabasa ako ng good comments. Our attack naman talaga is very light lang. Lalo na pandemic ‘di ba, kailangan natin ng feel good series.”
Netizens also noticed its light approach. One netizen commented, “I like it kasi light lang. Hindi puro hubaran. Very refreshing.” Another twitter user reacted, “Nakakakilig sina Migo and VJ. Good pairing.”
