Fans of David and Barbie Forteza also expressed their kilig as Hiroshi and Barbie's character, Adelina Dela Cruz, met again years after.
Many fans commented how happy they are about the parallels with Adelina and Hiroshi's first meeting, specifically Adelina's signature foot tapping.

Another wrote, "[A]delina falling in love with [H]iroshi for the second time without knowing that it was him--this is just peak romance to me."
