The film is based on the best-selling Pop Fiction book âÂÂâÂÂThe BetâÂÂâ which was originally published on Wattpad by Kimberly Joy Villanueva (ilurvbooks).
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 thirty days. Once she falls for him, he must confess that it was all a bet. However, this proves to be otherwise because Sophia doesn't fall for Drake's schemes, making it difficult for the school heartthrob. Will they ever work out their differences and fall in love or will it prove to be a disaster for both?
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. 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.
