Crumbs from The Closer MV about HIH and Some Lessons



It is not entirely a stand-alone project. It is supplementary to He’s Into Her and the dynamics between Max and Deib. Here are some gems we think would really shine a light on the series, some things we are looking forward to, and some that will give us a sense of what is going on. And maybe, a lesson or two on relationships.

  1. Our Deib is the planner type of boyfriend. He did plan a first monthsary celebration. Now, he is planning a second monthsary. This time, it is more elaborate and has a lot of moving parts. He is willing to organize, finance, and even make early reservations. His plans are even written down and with drawings to go with it.

  2. Family is important to Max. Well, we really know that, but majority of her concerns for not agreeing to Deib’s plan stem from thinking about her family-check-up of Lola Baby, the outing with her dad and her siblings, and the approval of her dad regarding the day trip (no “takas tayo” for Max this time.) All her objections revolved around the fact that she wants to be a good granddaughter, daughter, and sister.

  3. Deib is channeling a more feminine sensitivity here. Those who read the book said that Deib is referred to as “Baklang Deib”. Is it because he was so whipped? Well, judging from what happened in the planning of the second monthsary is that the girl is usually the one who pushes these things, and saying lines like “ako lang ata may gusto nito” “Hindi mo naalala na monthsary na natin” Those were lines of a nagging or a nagtatampo na  gf/wife. In this situation, they broke this conception for the girl to be the sensitive one.

  4. The problem that had to be resolved was about how they love each other. Deib wants to celebrate their love with some grand gestures and plans. He wants to spend time with her. He wants to make memories with her. On Max’s part, love also means taking all the different aspects of their lives into consideration as they plan for them both. A lesson can be learned here. In life, not only in our love lives, keep in mind that we need to take different aspects of life in making decisions and in planning our goals. Take note that life is multi-dimensional, and we have different roles in life. We can’t be focus on just one at some point. It is after all a balancing act.

  5. When things go wrong, we have to go over our treasure box of memories, and remind ourselves of the times when our heart was happy and of the reasons why we love that person. They probably had to dig deep into that treasure chest and go from day 1 to the happiest moments that they have together and why life is better with each other. We see some of the memories from their first meeting to that kiss in the locker, its reenactment in the first monthsary, and holding hands while studying.

  6. What were they cooking? Here is a glimpse of what Max and Deib usually do when they spend time together. We have seen them go on restaurant dates, goof around in their special place,  hanging out, dipping their legs in the pool, studying in the library, going on a barkada and family date, or having dinner in Deib’s abode. I wonder if we will see a movie date, a museum date, a beach date…and all the other dates possible.

  7. It seems that Deib is like Donny who will write handwritten notes (Donny mentioned this in an interview before). He placed it in her locker, and all their terms of endearment are in full display- My One and Only and Baby Babe. Nice to not only hear it but also to read it on paper.

  8. Notice how it must be difficult for the Alpha male that Deib is to swallow a piece of humble pie and make the first move to fix things between them, but he did. He wrote what he can’t say, and prepared flowers and balloons- a whole set-up in a classroom because he can’t stand not speaking or being physically close to Max.
  9. This one is probably something I liked the most in the vid. The synchronicity when they both said sorry, and I love you. Have they not end up saying both at the same time telling us that they feel the same way towards each other and just had too much pride to go first the past few days? Here is a lesson in every relationship, if there is a misunderstanding, more often than not, pointing fingers will not resolve the issue. You both have a part in the miscarriage of communication. In TagSen’s case, Deib makes plans without considering Max. Max, on the one hand, makes Deib feel that his plans are invalid, and storms off.

  10. Despite having an LQ, the two have been in close proximity to each other. They may not be in speaking terms, but they cannot bear to part.  We did see that in episode 11. Despite being cautioned to stay away from each other, they still find ways to sneak in a few minutes or so to be together. There is no denying how strong the attraction is. It is not just chemistry really, but gravity, too.

  11. The lesson is in the letter from Deib. There is no need for anything elaborate or expensive. It does not have to even be something new or far from what you both usually do.  What matters is being together. As Belle often says when asked, the person you are with trumps the place or the date.

  12. And more importantly, be honest even about what is wrong, like finding out about bad breath, and fixing it together. Hello-brushing by pairs! 

  13. PLUS: they have reached a second monthsary!!! That means they have been fighting on- holding on!

  14. Bonus: The animated girl and boy that rise from the notebook is like their conscience of sort trying to get Deib and Max to reconcile and listen to their hands. Nice touch. They visibly came to life when the two was not seeing eye-to-eye. They also went back to the notebook when the two patched up already. Cute animated Max and Deib.
Lastly, is it not a joy to watch? Since the beauty in the MV is link in the episodes we have thus far, TagSen has been trying their best to resolve the issues fast and to remind themselves that the love for each other is stronger than any other forces breaking them apart. So, continue to stream, and here are some tips and help on how:  https://donbelledaily.blogspot.com/2022/06/stream-closer-mv.html
