Just The Way You Are [2] [3](originally titled The Bet) is a 2015 Filipino teen romantic comedy- drama film directed by Theodore Boborol, and written by Maan Dimaculangan-Fampulme and Ceres Helga Barrios, starring the hit ‘ Forevermore’ tandem of Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano. [4] [5] The film is based on the best-selling Pop Fiction book ‘‘The Bet’’ which was originally published on Wattpad by Kimberly Joy Villanueva (ilurvbooks). [1] [6] [7]
In love, the stakes are high. When you live for no one... or when you have almost no one... will you still bet your all?
The story follows a popular guy named Drake Sison ( Enrique Gil), who makes a bet with his best friend Andrei ( Yves Flores), to make the nerdy transfer student, Sophia Taylor ( Liza Soberano), fall in love with him in 30 days. Once she falls for him, he must confess that it was all a bet.
The theme song of the movie is called "Smile In Your Heart", an OPM classic given a fresh take by Filipino all-male group, Harana. [8] [9] [10] The song was originally sung by Jam Morales and then by Ariel Rivera. Liza Soberano & Enrique Gil recorded a cover of the same theme song.
The film earned ₱12 million on its first day of showing. And after a couple of weeks of showing, it earned over ₱100 million. This was revealed by Star Cinema's Advertising and Promotions Manager Mico del Rosario through his Twitter post on, June 29. [11]
