KathNiel is making their long-awaited return to television with their newest romcom teleserye that will definitely fill us all with kilig feels!
Titled “2 Good 2 Be True,” the new series is worldwide streaming site Netflix’s latest offering for its Filipino audience and international KathNiel fans. It is also one of, if not the only, Filipino Netflix show that will release its episodes exclusively on the platform 72 hours before they are aired on free and pay TV!
Directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar, known for helming hit movies “Crazy Beautiful You” and “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” “2 Good 2 Be True” follows the real-life couple as Eloy (Daniel Padilla) and Ali (Kathryn Bernardo), who are both broken by the complications of love in their parents’ lives. Though they have found their way into each other’s arms, they are constantly being pulled back because of the doubts in their hearts. Soon, however, they find out that their lives are more connected than they realize.

“2 Good 2 Be True” marks the “teen royalty’s” comeback in five years since their last show, “La Luna Sangre,” and is only just their second romantic comedy after 2013’s “Got To Believe.”
“I think mas marami kasi kaming nagawa na romcom films. Mas pelikula ang ginagawa naming romcom,” Daniel mused in an interview with When In Manila. Because of this, he knows that fans can expect a lot of new things that they have yet to see in any other KathNiel project.
“Sa dami naming ginawa ni Kathryn, ano nga ba ang pwede naming ibigay na bago pa, hindi ba?” he said. “[Pero] pangalawa palang namin na romcom na series ito. Daming pwede pang abangan na bago. Syempre, unang una, iba naman ang kwento, iba naman ‘yung characters namin ni Kathryn dito. And first time din namin ni Direk Mae na mag-serye from simula hanggang dulo. So yeah, dami pa naming pwedeng i-offer na bago dito.”
Meanwhile, Kathryn admitted that ensuring that this project is unlike anything that she and Daniel have done before is quite a challenge. “‘Yun ‘yung pinaka-challenging sa lahat—anong bagong ma-ooffer,” she said. “Hopefully, nabigyan naman ng bagong flavor dito since iba naman ‘yung dynamics ng characters namin ni Deej and ‘yun naman ‘yung goal ever since may project: to make it different.”
“2 Good 2 Be True” will premiere on Netflix on May 13, Friday, and will air on TV on May 16, Monday, on ABS-CBN.
