Drama Romance
Basil is a broke-but-brilliant Fine Arts student juggling lectures and late shifts to keep his dream alive. Everything changes when he locks eyes with Elma during a roaring Persib match—one glance and he’s utterly hooked. Channeling his obsession into art, he prints a t-shirt emblazoned with her face, and the design explodes online overnight. That viral moment turns strangers into lovers, and soon Basil and Elma are inseparable. But their fairy-tale romance hits a brick wall when Elma’s father refuses to accept him. Now, Basil must trade his paintbrush for a fighter’s spirit, battling family disapproval, pride, and a mountain of hurdles to prove that some love is worth every brushstroke.
