After falling in love in the hit boys’ love movie “The Boy Foretold by the Stars,” Adrian Lindayag and Keann Johnson as high school students Dominic and Luke, respectively, will find their relationship threatened by intense scrutiny in its sequel “Love Beneath the Stars.”
As their love story continues, a controversial scandal, a third party, and disapproval from grown-ups will put their romance on the rocks and their future up in the air.
In an interview, Adrian and Keann shared the important lessons viewers can learn from the series about love and same-sex relationships.
“When you choose someone, you have to stick with them. The moment you choose that person, you also have to accept all the challenges that come with it. Because Dominic and Luke faced multiple challenges when they decided to choose one another,” said Adrian.
Keann added, “Love knows no gender. No one can tell you who you should or should not love. Even if fate decides that you’re not supposed to be with this person, if you genuinely love this person and you want this person to be part of your life and you know he’s going to be good for you, then by all means you should fight for it.”
In the sequel, Dominic’s deepening friendship with a fellow schoolmate named Gio (Vaughn Piczon) will cause tension between him and Luke.
However, an even bigger issue is bound to jeopardize their relationship. After attending their graduation ball as each other’s dates and sharing a kiss in public, their relationship will cause major uproar at their conservative all-boys Catholic school.
The controversy will also upset Dominic’s parents (Agot Isidro at Romnick Sarmenta), who will strongly disapprove of his relationship with Luke.
Will Dominic and Luke rely on the stars to decide on their future or are they willing to gamble for their love?
