But that is not to say 24/7 In Love is not worth your time of day. I actually find it really entertaining. There are stories and premises that will struck a chord. The episode of Angelica and John Lloyd is the best out of the 7 stories (SPOILER ALERT). It was about a woman who took a break from her marriage after finding out that her husband cheated on her. Aside from the John Lloyd's charm and believable acting, his chemistry with Angelica was just magical. This episode shows love that is ever enduring amidst mistakes and imperfection.
I also liked Bea and Zanjo's episode. Like the earlier couple, this real life sweethearts displayed awesome chemistry. Bea never fails to amaze me with her acting prowess and Zanjo did not leave me wanting at all. (And those lips, argh!) Their story I think is surprisingly realistic.
Perhaps Piolo's role as a mentally challenged orphan is his most challenging to date and he did not disappoint. Zijan and Xyriel were also effective in their roles as kids experiencing the pains of puppy love.
The other stories were ok. I felt that they were rushed up and contrived. They were more suited to be full length movies to give these stories more justice. What saved the day for them were the actors who were believable and endearing in their roles. And who could forget Sam's abs, Diether's ass and Gerald's undies!
Overall, I think 24/7 In Love is a fairly nice try to copy the magic Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve gave us. It did not quite succeed but it certainly has some gems that made it worth my time. Its "End of the world, what would you do" premise is quite interesting. But it did little to tie things together. For people who are suckers for love, hopeless romantics (and those who wants to feast on Gerald Anderson and Sam Milby), you would definitely enjoy this.
