One Hugot Away returns with “Beauty and the Hypebeast” featuring Angel Guardian, Kelvin Miranda
Airing this Monday (June 3) on GMA 7 and on its Facebook page and YouTube channel, Beauty and the Hypebeast tells the story of senior high students Cat (Angel) and Joe (Kevin) who, while belonging to two different cliques, find themselves drawn to each other.
Feeling superior because of their social status and appearance, Cat’s friends and classmates look down on groups such as those that Joe belongs to. They do not want to be associated with people they call ‘jologs’ and ‘hypebeast’—two words that they used to describe Joe and his group the first time they saw them grooving to the fast beat dance “Budots”. Cat’s friends even took a video of Joe and his group and uploaded it online to feed the bashers.
Her friends are not aware of it, but Joe and Cat are actually close. In an unexpected turn of events, Cat’s and Joe’s friends find themselves in one place. How will Cat react when Joe approaches her and drops the bomb among their friends—that they actually plan on having a date?
Beauty and the Hypebeast is GMA Public Affairs’ second digital short film for One Hugot Away. Its first offering, “Walang Label”, was well-received on-air and online, reaching the million-mark in terms of views just a few days after it was uploaded online. Viewers and netizens also lauded the acting skills and natural chemistry of Shaira Diaz and David Licauco. The first part of the video hit 1 million views four days after it was uploaded on GMA Network’s Facebook account last March 25; with the full version similarly getting 1 million views four days after it went live online last March 29.
