Netizen @tyrielle commended the dreamy scene and said, “I couldn’t breathe the whole time. It was tasteful, classy, gentle and full of emotions.”

“I was so anxious to see if they would finally lock lips. KimPau’s chemistry is so strong that it makes me crazy over them. Even though I’m already a senior citizen, watching them makes me feel like a teenager all over again! I can't wait for the next episode,” said @nprangelo.

“There's something about this pairing that even scenes like this are just too cute for me at their age. #KimPau remains wholesome, it wasn't sloppy the way I perceived it but the love still reflected on the screen,” commented user @kimpau8890. 

Fans were also treated to more heart-fluttering moments of Sec. Kim and BMC after Viu posted behind-the-scenes photos and videos featuring the lead stars.
