A triangle that is not love — their story is not based on the ideal concept of romance that we have. Theirs started and continues to be "because it's just you."

— between Lolong, Elsie, and Martin, from sacred friendship to a simple companionship, is not something I often see in dramas that began with love, so it is love after all. They mature as humans before realizing that their emotions are also maturing. — #LolongToTheRescue

Many people may not believe it, but an actor's personal life was never an impediment to their on-screen romance. Off-screen, the three are openly in a relationship, but their dynamics in the drama are crystal clear. #LolongToTheRescue

Ruru Madrid and Shaira Diaz have a chemistry that is playful and cute without being cringe-worthy. Despite the dramatic moments, it appears that the scene lights up when they are in the same frame.

I suppose it also has something to do with Ruru Madrid being a more genuine 'Ruru Madrid' in this drama and Shaira Diaz being subtle in her portrayal of Elsie. Other than that, Christopher de Leon is correct. She is radiant. @rurumadrid8 @ShairaDiaz_ #LolongToTheRescue

Paul Salas takes a different approach. I initially assumed Martin was just a plain, wealthy son who falls for this girl, but I was mistaken. His presence grows stronger as the episode progresses. @PaulAndreSalas #LolongToTheRescue

His portrayal of Martin varies depending on the emotions demanded by his scene. This is why I enjoy listening to Martin rantings his feelings to Elsie.
@PaulAndreSalas #LolongToTheRescue

Actually, it feels like his rants are repeated at times, but it's fascinating to watch Elsie just listen, and I admire Paul's expressions on Martin every time; the emotions change, — @ShairaDiaz_ @PaulAndreSalas #LolongToTheRescue

and that's what differs. I like their dynamics when exchanging dialogues.

Because of the screenplay and the way they played their characters, the chemistry that was supposed to be impossible to achieve because "they are taken" worked in Lolong. #LolongToTheRescue

Whatever we see on-screen is always an indication of their craft and nothing else. #LolongToTheRescue

Though it may sound like a typical Filipino drama, realizing that Ruru, Shaira, and Paul's chemistry worked well in the romance arc of this adventure series is due to their portrayal elevating it to a higher level.

These three will always have a special place in my heart, and I can't wait to see more of them in the second season. #LolongToTheRescue
