One True Pair (2021)

Bea Alonzo and JLC are indeed one true pair.

This short movie is about the on-screen love team who met again for a project after a long break due to the pandemic and did some catching up and reminiscing about life, love, and their past. The premise is simple, and the plots are nicely developed in just 36 minutes. It shows the dynamic of a love team. If we talk about a love team, people (mostly the fans) will be imploring them to become a couple and get married in real life because of how good they look together and how great their chemistry is on screen and off screen. But it doesn’t always happen in real life. This movie uses the ‘love team’ as the central characters, and not the main topic is a smart move. It gives it a more realistic vibe about their friendship in and out of work.

The story is so engaging from the beginning to the end, making me want for more. Undoubtedly, Bea Alonzo and JLC have an amazing chemistry. Their conversation looks very natural and relaxed, as if they aren’t really acting. I was smiling the whole time, my face hurt. Seeing the topic of life and love being discussed from the perspective of one of the iconic Filipino love teams gives an understanding that, as humans, regardless of our job, we can’t always control our emotions, especially when they involve someone we deeply care about. You know, feelings will grow, the line between professional and personal will get blurred, and it can sometimes have a positive or negative impact on our real-life relationship. But at the end of the day, people grow and move on, and the best of love remains.
