Puregold's new BL series, 'Got My Eyes on You,' targets Gen Z and Millennials on TikTok with quick-hit episodes that blend charm, tension, and kilig, gaining popularity among LGBTQIA+ viewers.

The series is set in S-Cape Haven Villa, following the clashing personalities of Shawn, a guest relations manager, and Drew, an operations manager, whose enemies-to-lovers dynamic has divided fans into rival teams.

Supporting characters like Toniyuh, Victor Sy, Hannah Lee, Ady Cotoco, and Darwin Yu add humor and depth to the story, with fans eagerly anticipating the return of Cotoco and Yu as Kirk and Wilfred.

The show's fresh approach to BL storytelling, combined with its TikTok-friendly format, has positioned it as a contender for fandom status, drawing praise from diverse audiences.

Lead actors Mikoy Morales and Esteban Mara credit their personal confidence in their sexuality for their successful portrayal of Shawn and Drew in the series.

Morales and Mara emphasized that their comfort with their identities made it easier to portray the enemies-to-lovers dynamic without awkwardness.

Both actors are currently in long-term relationships outside of the show, with Mara dating Gabe Paras and Morales recently engaged to Isa Garcia.
