Storyline:
Lance Sandoval, who is a medical student visiting friends in Singapore, and Justine Ramos, who has moved there to pursue a rising career, are introduced by friends in 2014 and begin a relationship. When Lance returns home to the Philippines and medical school, Justine agrees to keep in touch, but stays in Singapore climbing the ladder as a fashion brand manager. They find the long-distance relationship to be unsatisfactory. After nearly a year, Justine moves to the Philippines to reunite with Lance, exchanging her high-paying Singaporean job for one as a consultant to a fast-fashion brand in the Philippines. The couple struggles in their relationship and in their individual lives – with medical school, and Justine with her new job. The loneliness of being apart for so long also led to tension between them, and eventually they got into a heated argument. They break up but still feel connected to each other.
Two years after they met, at the renewal of vows of Justine’s parents, they fall in love again and reunite. Later, they move into Lance’s condo together. Lance is now a general surgeon. When the COVID-19 pandemic begins, he is on the pandemic’s frontline. An infidelity ensues, causing another break-up. Later, Justine has rebuilt her life in Manila, establishing her own fashion brand, as Lance continues to practice medicine. Eventually, they reunite again, overcome their relationship and personal life challenges and marry.
