It stars Erich Gonzales, Enchong Dee, and JC De Vera and directed by Laurice Guillen. Present during the blogcon were Erich Gonzales, Enchong Dee JC De Vera and producer Enrico Santos.

When Erich was offered the role, she read the novel straight in one seating.  Erich describes it a modern fairy tales but with a twist. Here some of the highlights of the event.

What are you expecting to see from this movie? According Erich, this movie will make the audience decide which character they can agree on and debate among their friends. You won't see who's right or who's wrong. Each character has a valid reason or argument.

Enchong: You can't justify selfishness with love.

JC: From Damian, being a warrior.

Erich: "Being hurt is unavoidable but being miserable is a choice.
