Overview
The series is about lessons in love through the eyes of six teen students of Lamberto Uy Villarama University or LUV U as they experience the highs and lows of being in love at a very young age.
In the first season, the show featured former Goin' Bulilit kids Miles Ocampo, Kiray Celis, CJ Navato and Igi Boy Flores, with singing sensation Rhap Salazar, Angeli Gonzales, and newbie teen actor Marco Gumabao.[1][2][3][4][5] The group faces dilemmas in their relationships with friends and families as well as at school but together they work together and overcome these.
In the second season, the show featured another group of former Goin' Bulilit kids: Alexa Ilacad, Nash Aguas, Sharlene San Pedro, Jairus Aquino, Mika dela Cruz, Kobi Vidanes, and Sophia Baars as newbies in the fictional university.
