With themes of friendship, love, and identity, it reflects the evolving landscape that today’s youth navigate—an aspect that resonates strongly with both older fans and newer viewers.

Returning cast members include Vivoree, Sheena Belarmino, Benedix Ramos, and BGYO’s Akira Morishita, who expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to revisit their characters. “After spending so much time apart, we all have this longing to perform and work together again,” said Vivoree. “It feels even more meaningful to be part of a revival.”
