At the center of this endearing narrative are lead characters Charlie (Kych Minemoto), a big dreamer and a content creator, and Miko (Michael Ver), a young businessman who happens to be an avid plantito.

Soon, followers of the show realized that the kilig series also offered significant lessons for everyone. Here are just five of them:

Charlie’s journey is made easier by the unwavering support of his father, Janong, portrayed by the charismatic Chef Ghaello Salva. Janong’s presence in Charlie’s life, coupled with light bantering (like teasing him about his crush for Miko) and heartfelt conversations, create a safe environment for Charlie’s dreams to unfold, even when he temporarily steps away from university studies to pursue professional vlogging.

Charlie’s secret filming of Miko leads to an unfortunate turn of events that compels him to confront the values of consent and respect. The aspiring content creator realizes that in his enthusiasm to do his job, he breached certain boundaries. The consequences of Charlie’s errant behavior allow him to gain a better understanding of ethical content creation and basic human decency.

Charlie finds an ally in his loyal buddy, Bianca, credibly portrayed by Devi Descartin. However, in her eagerness to push Charlie toward his dreams, Devi dispenses with bad advice that Charlie should have thought twice about before heeding.

Meanwhile, Miko’s business partner Chem (Derrick Lauchengco) illustrates the kind of positivity that true friends share during life’s challenging moments.

My Plantito‘s celebration of authenticity and inclusivity serves as a call for creating safe and loving environments where individuals can embrace their true selves. Through the characters’ honesty and open-mindedness, viewers learn that there is a need for more compassion in this world, in which people need to feel the acceptance they often long for.

It’s not too late to join the My Plantito craze and immerse yourself in its insightful narrative. View the episodes on Puregold’s official Tiktok and YouTube channels.

After a month of quiet on social media, the 18-year-old actor came to Twitter on Tuesday, November 1, to proclaim that he was bisexual.

“Back for a minute. I’m bi. Congratulations on forcing an 18-year-old to come out.

Kit Connor

I believe some of you missed the show’s message. “Bye,” Connor said, lamenting the fact that he had to declare his sexuality, something he had wished to keep hidden, in order to battle online rumors.

The actor recently came under fire for holding hands with Maia Reficco, a co-star in the forthcoming film adaptation of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow. Some internet users assumed the actor was straight and accused him of “queerbaiting,” or pretending to be gay.

The debate about Connor’s sexuality is especially poignant for the actor, who portrays a gay character, Nick Nelson, in the LGBTQ+ adolescent thriller Heartstopper. Following the publication of the article, fans of the program, as well as the show’s creator, Alice Oseman, expressed their support for Connor.

“I truly don’t understand how people can watch Heartstopper and then gleefully spend their time speculating about sexualities and judging based on stereotypes”

Alice Oseman

Fans also critiqued the show’s handling of bisexuality in regard to Connor’s experience, emphasizing that viewers have no right to know personal details about the actors.

Heartstopper is a Netflix coming-of-age drama based on Oseman’s webcomic and graphic novel of the same name. The plot centres around Charlie Spring (Joe Locke), a homosexual high school student who develops love feelings for his fellow classmate and seatmate, Nick. The sitcom has garnered positive feedback for its LGBTQ+ portrayal, and production on the second season has commenced.

Kit Connor is an English actor known for his work in films such as Get Santa and Rocketman, as well as in shows such as His Dark Materials. His portrayal of Nick Nelson in Heartstopper has nominated him for Best TV Performance in the Dorian Awards, as well as Rising Star in the National Television Awards
