Puregold’s TikTok BL series Got My Eyes on You offers a fresh perspective on how romance can develop between two driven colleagues who are both aiming for the same promotion. The story centers on Drew (Miko Morales) and Shawn (Esteban Mara), whose different backgrounds and shared ambition unexpectedly bring them closer instead of pushing them apart.
Throughout the series, viewers witness the subtle romantic tension growing between the two as they balance work goals with blossoming feelings. The show also highlights their fun moments with friends and co-workers Moira (Hannah Lee) and Wilfred (Darwin Yu), adding warmth and relatability to the narrative. This blend of workplace dynamics, friendship, and slow-burn romance has helped the series gain steady traction and strong viewer engagement on TikTok.
Beyond its charming day-to-day scenes, Got My Eyes on You takes a closer look at the beautiful yet sometimes confusing realities of dating in the modern world. By following Drew and Shawn’s connection, the series offers an honest reflection on love, ambition, and the emotional journeys people navigate today.
Here are some of the truths about romance highlighted in Puregold’s Got My Eyes on You.
For many of us, responsibilities come before romance.
In Episode 14, Drew opens up to Shawn on why the General Manager position means so much to him. He says, “Ako nagpapaaral sa mga kapatid ko,” he admits, showing that his goals come from a place of love and duty.
Meanwhile, although he comes from a wealthy family, Shawn also wants to prove himself. In today’s world, many can relate to putting dreams and family first, even as love quietly grows in the background.
‘No labels’ means no rules, but all the feelings.
In Episodes 17 to 19, Drew begins to realize that he is falling for Shawn. When he sees Shawn chatting with someone else, jealousy creeps in, even if he knows he has no right to feel that way. He asks, “Ano ba tayo para magselos ako?”
Modern dating often encourages “no labels” and situations, which entail having feelings while pretending you’re not supposed to.
Work and love don’t always mix well.
In Episode 15, Sir Trevor (Victor Sy) confronts Drew and Shawn about their growing closeness. “May relasyon ba kayong dalawa kaya pati ang work, apektado?” Both then try to keep things professional, even avoiding each other in Episode 16.
However, their rivalry for the General Manager position only makes things more complicated, especially as the attraction becomes even harder to ignore.
Confession is hard, even when it’s obvious.
In Episode 18, the trepidation we usually feel when we reveal our feelings manifests when Drew wonders, “What if hindi niya ako gusto?”
The truth is, we all want to be honest but are held back by the fear of rejection. In the modern dating world, people safeguard their hearts with humor and subtlety—and taking the first step is the hardest thing to do.
Sometimes, friends give you the push you need.
As things turn awkward between Drew and Shawn in Episode 20, Shawn turns to Moira and Wilfred for advice. Just like in the real world, friends listen, tease, and push you toward what you are too afraid to do yourself.
In Episode 24, Moira and Wilfred even conspire to have Drew and Shawn share a night shift. Sometimes, love needs a little help from the people who see it before you do.
Love can grow in the most ordinary moments.
Even as they try to fight it, Drew and Shawn fall deeper for each other during simple shared moments—vet visits, a casual photoshoot, a deep conversation.
This reminds us that even in the complicated world of modern dating, love does not always need drama or grand gestures. Sometimes, time, laughter, and openness are enough.
