Transcript

00:00Salvador is a successful but workaholic architect. He lives his life based on a plan to be successful

00:05in all he does. He wakes up at 5 in the morning to work out before setting out for the day's

00:09business. On this particular day he is interviewed on TV, and they talk about all his recent

00:14achievements. He also talks about his daily routine, which makes the interviewer notice

00:18he does not have time for a woman in his life. She then asks about relationships, and Salvador

00:24explains that he has yet to find a woman who will put up with his schedule. Salvador is

00:29also the heir to a multi-million dollar corporation that is about to embark on a project for a

00:34new luxury hotel. The interviewer asks if Salvador knows about the project, and his response shows

00:40that he wants to be the only person to handle it. After the interview, Salvador presents his

00:45proposal about the new hotel to be built to the board, and they love his plans. This also

00:49means he will have to travel to Spain so that the project can kick off. His dad congratulates

00:54him, and he appreciates his father for trusting him. However, one can conclude that his response

01:00reveals that the trust he has in him is based on the condition that he has to prove himself.

01:05Salvador prepares his bag and travels to Spain. He gets to the apartment he had arranged earlier

01:09for himself, and takes the key under the stairs, as instructed on his phone. Getting to the door

01:14he tries to open it but is having a hard time. He enters the house with force, and goes to the window

01:19for sightseeing. Later, he starts recording his view to send to his dad to let him know he is already

01:24there, and that the location is perfect for what they want to build. After this, he steps out into

01:29the street to learn more about the place. He also meets up with his business partners as he is ready

01:34to start things fast and get things done quickly. Once done, he heads back to the apartment, but while

01:39trying to open the door, his key breaks. Seeing that he cannot access his apartment without the key,

01:45he decides to go to the nearby hotel, where the owner of the apartment resides. Arriving there,

01:50he sees people singing and dancing. However, a particular lady catches his attention while he

01:55is observing. Could this workaholic be feeling emotions after all? Quite strange. He meets the

02:02owner of the apartment who mistakes him for her Tinder date. Oh well, some are actively searching for

02:07love. Salvador politely tells her that he is not her Tinder date, but asks about the lady who picked

02:12his interest. The woman gives him the go-ahead to speak with her since she is her niece.

02:16However, she makes sure to tell him to be careful. She gives him a candle to light the paper on her

02:21waist, as a way of starting a conversation between the two. Salvador follows the instructions and joins

02:27the dance so that he can have a chance to talk to her. He lights the paper while they start discussing.

02:32When the dance is over and there seems to be a break in their discussion, Ariana, the lady Salvador

02:37is interested in, is instructed to pick up some paint. Salvador still follows her so that he can

02:42speak with her. Ariana picks up the paint but collides with Salvador as she turns around.

02:47This collision splashes paint on Salvador's suit and her face. She apologizes, but stops when Salvador

02:53mentions the price of his suit. Quite typical. But he also apologizes for the collision. Salvador tries

02:59to engage her in a discussion, and also compliments her, but she ends up lecturing him. Lichi, the owner of

03:05the hotel and the apartment, interrupts them, when he explains that he stays next door. Salvador uses

03:10the opportunity to tell them about his broken key. She apologizes and tells him she cannot offer him

03:16her time, but she hands him over to Ariana, believing she will take care of him properly as she leaves.

03:21Ariana then collects Salvador's stained coat to help him wash it, while they head to where she will sleep.

03:26Salvador, however, is about to stress her, as he is more concerned about where he will sleep.

03:31While they are going, they talk about music as well as flirting with one another,

03:36but Ariana keeps telling Salvador to relax. Finally they get to the new apartment for Salvador,

03:41and as Ariana wants to say goodbye, he asks when she will be free so that they can have a drink

03:46together. Could this workaholic be asking her out? Anyways this makes her stay, and they start

03:52drinking. She tells him about the tradition of welcoming newcomers with three shots, and they

03:56decide to give it a try. They flirt with one another, and when they are at the last shot,

04:01Salvador tries to kiss Ariana. But it doesn't go as expected because she tells him she does not kiss

04:07on the first date. To clarify the situation he tells her that they are not on a date.

04:12This makes Ariana go for that kiss. They end up having a passionate time together that night.

04:17Salvador wakes up late the next day and takes his bath while listening to the news before heading out.

04:22Everything seems to be bright for Ariana, as she enjoyed herself the previous night.

04:26Salvador meets her and Lichi, giggling with one another because they heard the sound of their

04:31intimate session last night. Ariana gets their clothes for laundry. Salvador follows her because

04:36he wants to find a way to fix the door, which happens to be on the same route to the laundry.

04:40When they are done and are back at Salvador's apartment, they start talking. Salvador shares

04:45what he is in Spain for. He expects this big project of his to get her excited, but instead,

04:50she takes it as a serious offense. She cannot imagine that the place their community built with their

04:55hands will be replaced by concrete buildings. This seems surprising to Salvador, as he feels it

05:00is a normal thing. Ariana then leaves him angrily but not without telling him he cannot put a price

05:05tag on people after he says that everyone has a price and that they will be willing to sell the

05:09buildings. Ariana goes to Lichi angrily. Lichi, on the other hand, is there expecting that she will

05:15get all the gist about her time with Salvador, but Ariana does not want to talk about it as she is very

05:20upset with Salvador. She complains to Lichi about the issue, and seeing where the problem is going,

05:25Lichi switches on the blender to interrupt her. She continues with this several times until

05:30Ariana leaves her alone. This reveals that she knows about the hotel plan, and does not want to

05:35listen to Ariana complain about it. Salvador is back to work, calculating the projected income based

05:41on the tourism of their current location, while also engaging in meetings. After he is done with

05:46his meeting, he goes to Lichi to talk about the plan of the proposed hotel using the blueprint.

05:51Ariana walks into them and sees what they are doing. She expresses her displeasure and walks away.

05:56Frustrated, she makes sure to tell them they make a good couple before leaving. They do not mind all

06:01she is saying, as they continue with their discussion. The next day, Ariana steps out of her room late,

06:06as she is still angry at both Salvador and Lichi. Salvador is amused at the scene between Lichi and

06:12Ariana. Later at night, some of Salvador's workers are trying to set up some things for the construction.

06:18While digging, they find a box and hand it over to Salvador. He opens it and sees the contents of

06:23the box. The next scene shows him in Ariana's room with the purpose of giving her the box,

06:28as it belongs to her. She is excited about the box, as she has forgotten she once had it,

06:33but she does not show her excitement for Salvador to see it. When he is done delivering the box to her,

06:38she walks him out of her room. She then goes back and enjoys the memories in the box when he has left.

06:43The next day, while Ariana is picking eggs from the chicken coop, Salvador approaches her. This

06:48frustrates her because he is not giving her a break, she sees him before she sleeps the previous day,

06:54and he is the first person she sees in the morning. Salvador, however, uses the chance to flirt with

06:59her a bit. It turns out that Salvador's intention is to book a tour with the receptionist,

07:04who happens to be Ariana at the moment. She then informs him about the different trips they have

07:09available, even though she does not want him to go with anyone. He makes sure to select the

07:13particular tour, in which Ariana will be the guide, she agrees, but on the condition of going through

07:18his bag. They go back to the reception with Salvador's bag, and Ariana leaves a lot of his

07:23things behind, stating they do not need them. While they are sorting things out, a couple enters,

07:28and Ariana attends to them. The tour Salvador is supposed to have is meant to be with some other set

07:33of people, but the couples are there to cancel. With the couples gone, Ariana explains to him that

07:39they will not be able to go on the tour because they are supposed to have at least six people to

07:43go with them. Salvador, on the other hand, decides to pay for the empty slots because he has cancelled

07:48a lot of things to be on the five-day tour. With a smirk, Ariana sarcastically comments that his

07:54daddy paid after all, but Salvador refuses to be intimidated. After all, he is a smooth talker,

07:59and Ariana cannot get rid of him that easily. They first go to the market to buy some of the

08:04things they will need for the trip, while also buying some traditional things. Salvador tries

08:08to talk about the idea of the hotel because of the tourism, but Ariana strongly disagrees.

08:14Seeing that this might lead to arguments, he decides they should have a truce, so that they can

08:18both focus on the tour. An Uber driver arrives to pick them up, before going on a horse. Later,

08:24they start enjoying the sights and hiking. When they get close to the river, Salvador starts

08:29taking pictures, which leads to them talking about more personal things, like tattoos.

08:34Ariana has a story behind her tattoo, but she is not ready to share it with Salvador. Later,

08:40she takes the phone from him and starts taking his pictures as well. Later that night, they create

08:45fire for themselves and talk about their zodiac signs. Ariana tries to talk about the hotel,

08:50but Salvador avoids the question as he is enjoying the quiet atmosphere. He does not want to risk the

08:55piece they have right now for business talk. Seems our workaholic is losing focus. While they are

09:00hiking and getting to know one another, Ariana gets to a spot to meditate. Salvador insists they keep

09:06moving, but she convinces him to learn how to clear his mind and meditate. He listens to her instructions

09:11and joins her in meditating. He sleeps off in the process, and he is surprised when he wakes up.

09:17They continue the journey, as Ariana starts talking about how living life is her luxury,

09:21and money in the bank is Salvador's luxury. Finally, they get to the peak, and they are both excited.

09:27Salvador decides to take a picture, and this time around, he wants it with Ariana. While they are

09:33trying to take the picture, a Chinese couple passes by, and asks them to take their pictures.

09:38Salvador then talks to them in Chinese, telling them they are on their honeymoon. What a sneaky guy,

09:44knowing Ariana doesn't understand the language. He eventually reveals what he told the Chinese

09:49couple to Ariana. This makes her explain that she does not believe in love, because she sees it like

09:54a chain holding one back. She also feels romance is overrated. However, Salvador thinks she is just

10:00being tough, and not saying what is deep in her heart. On their way back, Salvador's phone starts

10:05receiving messages, because he now has reception. This makes him stop his movement, because he has a

10:09load of messages to respond to. Ariana, on the other hand, feels this is not the time for him to reply

10:15to messages, and decides to take the phone from him. He is reluctant to let go of the phone,

10:20and while they are fighting over it, the phone slips out of their hand, and falls, breaking the

10:24screen. She apologizes for the broken phone, but Salvador is not buying the apology one bit.

10:30He feels that Ariana did it on purpose, and he has a lot of messages to reply to. Ariana,

10:35on the other hand, wants him to take the situation as a sign that he's not meant to hold the phone,

10:40but this makes him even more angry. He slides the phone into her bag, and starts walking away.

10:45She follows him, and after walking for a while, she suggests they take a detour somewhere.

10:50He is reluctant at first, but later follows her. Ariana takes him to a warm spring,

10:54which comes as a surprise to him. He jumps into the water, and enjoys the warmth.

10:59Ariana also takes off her clothes, and he sees some scars near her tattoos.

11:03She reveals it was an accident, but she does not go into the details.

11:06They then start talking about Ariana's life. She likes going places without knowing where she is

11:12going. She believes this is the right way of living and experiencing things.

11:16They end up having a passionate moment. At first, Ariana does not want to go with the kiss,

11:21because she does not want a relationship. But Salvador is so convincing that she gives in anyway.

11:26When they are done, they talk about places they would like to go, and also see different views.

11:31Later in the day, they are back to reality, and they ride a bus to take them back to town.

11:35While on the way, it starts raining, and the driver is driving recklessly.

11:39This makes Ariana uncomfortable and nervous. Salvador tries to comfort her but does not know

11:44what to do. This continues until there is a little incident that scares the hell out of Ariana.

11:49Eventually they start walking to town. Upon getting back to town, Ariana does not say a word again,

11:54and she goes straight to her room. Litchie feels they had a fight, but Salvador explains the

11:59situation on the bus to her. Hearing this, Litchie reveals that she once had an accident with her

12:04father and mother when she was 13, and she was the only one who survived. She appreciates Salvador

12:10for being there with her. Salvador goes back to his room and opens his laptop to get back to work.

12:15Seeing loads of messages and the mood he came home with, he switches off the laptop. Later,

12:20he starts a call with his dad who is worried he is not handling the project well. He is angry that

12:25his phone was off for five days, and the number of projected rooms is smaller than planned and will

12:29not bring in enough revenue. His dad has set up a meeting for him so that he can get the appropriate

12:34approval. He also thinks he can buy more land to get the project done, but the neighborhood is not

12:38ready to sell, and he does not want to listen. The next scene shows Salvador meeting with the city

12:43counselor, Tono. This is the meeting set up by his dad. Mr. Tono is ready to help him, but he is

12:49demanding money to make things happen, because the regulations do not support the height of the

12:54building they want to go for. Salvador refuses to give him the amount he is demanding. Lichi goes

12:59to Ariana's room to speak with her because she has been indoors since the bus incident. She then

13:04encourages her to get out of her sad mood and into her lively self. These words get her to stop being

13:10moody. The next day, Salvador comes with a chicken to meet both Lichi and Ariana. While talking about

13:16animals, Lichi realizes that something interesting is going on between the two. She believes that Salvador

13:21is the best match for Ariana, so she leaves them with each other. Ariana sees that Salvador needs

13:27some massage and promises to give him one the next day as she is going to a party. Salvador then

13:32invites himself and calls it a date. When they get to the party, it is filled with a lot of dance,

13:37music, food, and drinks. They both enjoy themselves before retiring to a treehouse.

13:42Ariana mocks Salvador for his bad dancing skills, and they talk a little. When they are about to say

13:47goodnight to one another, Salvador tries to kiss her, but she avoids the kiss because it is their

13:52first date. Later, unable to resist, she kisses him and leaves him. When Salvador gets back home,

13:58he starts working on the project at hand. While working, he receives a message from his dad,

14:03telling him he has been on the project for a long time, and that he only has until the next day to

14:07complete all the deals, or he will be removed from the project. This pushes Salvador to go ahead and

14:13meet Lichi the next day. He first starts the discussion casually, but Lichi can sense from

14:18afar that he needs something from her. Just as he is about to ask her, she tells him that she will

14:23not sell her hotel to him. He tries to convince her, but seeing that she is not ready to listen,

14:28he offers her the amount they are willing to buy and leaves. This amount is so huge that Lichi has

14:33started considering selling the hotel. Could this be an offer she can't refuse? Salvador then goes to

14:38meet Ariana. They spend a good time together, and even play the piano, and sing together.

14:43Later in the day, Ariana is helping Lichi out when she sees the document indicating the amount

14:48Salvador is offering Lichi for the hotel. This makes her so angry. She asks if Lichi will be selling,

14:53but she tells her she doesn't know yet. Ariana realizes that Lichi is now enticed by the money,

14:58and this drives her more crazy, so she decides to leave. Lichi tries to stop her and does not want

15:03her to leave because she is always saying goodbye. However, Ariana is not ready to face the change

15:08that might probably happen, and would rather leave. Ariana goes and packs all her bags and starts

15:13leaving. Salvador sees her and tries to stop her to know why she is suddenly leaving, but she ignores

15:18him and then confronts him about his awful plans for their place before leaving. Salvador tries to

15:23follow her and stop her, but then, a car drives in and it turns out to be his father. This makes him

15:28stop. He is surprised to see his father and he is confused about whether he will follow Ariana or stay

15:34with his dad. It turns out that Salvador's dad is there to help him close the deal he has not been

15:39able to close. However, Salvador is more worried about Ariana. Worried, he asks Lichi if she knows

15:44the possible location Ariana will go to, but her response breaks his heart even more. She has no

15:50idea where she is going. Salvador's dad brings business to the table and tries to win Lichi over

15:55to sell her hotel by doubling the amount Salvador offered her, but Salvador keeps trying to stop him

16:00from making offers. He makes it anyway. And to his surprise, he receives a strong no.

16:06When Lichi steps out of the room, the situation causes an argument between Salvador and his dad.

16:11This makes him resign from his work, because he feels he will not be able to continue with the

16:16way things are. His dad is shocked, but Salvador is not going back on his word, because for the first

16:21time in his life, he is choosing his own path. Salvador then goes back to Lichi to properly ask if she

16:27knows where Ariana might have gone, but truly she does not know. However, she tells him some wise

16:32words to encourage him and advises him to use plan B, which is to track her down. Salvador sets out to

16:38search for Ariana based on the route he assumes she will follow to the north, which she previously said

16:43she always wanted to see. He goes from one location to another, showing people Ariana's photo to see if

16:48they have seen her, but no one seems to have seen her. This, however, does not stop him, as he keeps

16:54exploring the route, and keeps asking. During one of his trips by the sea, he sits down to meditate,

17:00just as Ariana has taught him. At first, he gets distracted by the sound of the cow but ends up

17:05getting focused. When he wakes up from his meditation, he sees another set of people and

17:10approaches them to ask about Ariana. They have no idea who she is, but they are heading elsewhere.

17:15He later decides to swim at the beach. Ariana, on the other hand, is at another beach,

17:20and while searching through her bag, she sees Salvador's stolen phone, and decides to plug it

17:25into power. Once the phone is switched on, it alerts Salvador of her location. Coincidentally,

17:31it is the same place the people he met at the beach are going. He then rushes to meet them so

17:35that he can follow. Salvador gets to the beach and starts tracking Ariana. Finally, he sees her and

17:40the sight of her brings a smile to his face. Ariana is surprised to see him and does not want to talk

17:45with him. Knowing she can decide to argue, he starts the conversation by giving her information

17:50to smooth his way into her life. He tells her about his plan to take a long year of sabbatical

17:55as they walk around the beach. He ends up smoothly talking himself into her heart and avoiding

17:59unnecessary arguments. Finally, he asks her on a date to go kite surfing on the beach. Ariana has no

18:06option but to accept the offer, even though they do not know if they will be able to put up with one

18:11another. They end up kissing one another passionately and live happily ever after.
