Happenstance
In the midst of 2020, Wade, a young man in the Philippines, discovers a hidden treasure in his attic – a dusty trunk filled with love letters from the 1970s. Authored by Jose Manuel, these letters express his heartfelt love for Luis, another man, but have remained unopened due to societal constraints of their time.
Touched by Jose Manuel's unrequited love, Wade takes a courageous step to write back. Surprisingly, a response arrives, forging a unique connection between two souls separated by decades. As they exchange words and emotions, a tender love story unfolds, defying the limitations of time.
Happenstance transcends the boundaries of a typical BL series; it's a poignant exploration of love, longing, and fate. The narrative beautifully depicts the universal human desire for connection and the enduring power of emotions. Through its dual timeline, the series provides insight into the evolving landscape of LGBTQ+ acceptance, contrasting past challenges with the present.
With its heartfelt narrative, compelling characters, and captivating visuals, Happenstance has enraptured audiences worldwide. It leaves a lasting impact, prompting reflection on the profound power of love and its ability to transcend boundaries, even the fabric of time itself.
