Soberano is a mental health advocate herself and can easily relate to the female lead character in the series.
As for the real-life-couple, they haven’t had any recent TV or film project following the shutdown of ABS-CBN in 2020.
The South Korean romantic-comedy-drama, ‘It’s Okay To Not Be Okay’ aired in 2020 on Netflix. It starred Kim Soo Hyun as Moon Gang-Tae and Seo Ye Ji as Ko Mun-Yeong.
