From breakout stars to full-fledged fan favorites, Andres Muhlach and Ashtine Olviga—popularly known as AshDres—are proving to be one of Viva’s fastest-rising loveteams, with a fandom that continues to expand locally and globally.
The tandem first captured hearts through Viva One’s ‘Ang Mutya ng Section E’, where their onscreen pairing as Keifer and Jay-jay ignited a cultural moment. The trailer alone racked up over 20 million views and birthed parodies, edits, and fan-made content across TikTok and YouTube. Hashtags like #JayFer trended widely, solidifying AshDres as the newest kilig pairing to watch.
What’s striking is how far their reach has gone. Fans from Asia, the Middle East, America, Europe, and Oceania have embraced the tandem, flooding social media with memes, reaction videos, and edits that highlight their chemistry. The demand has grown so strong that even before their first movie, international fans were already asking about screenings abroad.
That fan power is now fueling anticipation for their big-screen debut in Viva Films’ ‘Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna’, directed by Jason Paul Laxamana, opening nationwide on September 24 with scheduled screenings in the U.S., Canada, and the Middle East.
During the grand mediacon, director Laxamana admitted he was surprised at how fast their popularity spread—even in remote provinces, people recognize and scream for AshDres. “To think na wala pa silang one year,” he said.
AshDres themselves say the love from their fans has kept them grounded. At the VIVA ONE: VIVARKADA fancon at Smart Araneta Coliseum last August 15, they dedicated their sweet messages and kilig performances to thank supporters who have been with them since their series debut.
With their natural chemistry, growing social media presence, and an international fanbase already rallying behind them, Andres and Ashtine are poised to become Viva’s next powerhouse loveteam—one that could follow in the footsteps of past icons like JaDine.
As their fandom blossoms, ‘Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna’ looks set to become not just a film, but a milestone moment in AshDres’ rise as the new face of young romance on screen.
