TFBBAM Cast

<p>“Meteor Garden” and “Boys Over Flowers”—these are the series that left an indelible mark on our hearts, and they all have one thing in common: a girl surrounded by four charming campus crush gentlemen, making our hearts swoon with a heartfelt love story.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754368222985SnapInsta.to_518342172_1521779882540901_412072288664009944_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">The Four Bad Boys and Me</span></span></span>These dramas have inspired some authors from across the globe. One particular book was <strong>“The Four Bad Boys and Me,&quot;</strong> by <strong>Blue Maiden</strong> aka<strong> Tina Lata</strong>, who influenced several youth and young at heart during its <strong>Wattpad </strong>peak in 2014-2016, garnering millions of reads.</div><p>As someone who read this back in her teenage years, I never thought it would become a movie, with the actors and actresses portraying the characters exactly as I imagined (writer’s reflection). The precise casting became closer to our hearts when the author herself was part of the audition process. Tina’s decision, as respected, didn’t fail to bring these well-loved characters to life, turning fantasies into reality.</p><p>As we sit back, relax, and watch our favorite read come to life via a motion picture, let’s appreciate the beauty and handsomeness of the “Four Bad Boys and Me” cast!</p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Anji Salvacon as Candice Gonzales</strong></div><p>Delivering an on-spot performance as Candice in the well-loved teenage fictional book, Anji delivered the contrasting beauty needed in the movie: a nerdy bookworm girl in the early scenes, quickly shifting into a campus sweetheart. Her queenly silhouette, combined with natural makeup and short-wave locks, exuded an irresistible appeal that breathed life into the character’s beauty duality. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754368358232SnapInsta.to_527353828_18519263788047908_6120577764820154058_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Gelo Rivera as Jeydon Lopez</strong></div><p>Wattpad readers have always imagined Jeydon Lopez with sharp features and a masculine appeal. It&#x27;s truly a gift to the audience to have BGYO&#x27;s Gelo Rivera play this character. His symmetrical face, coupled with 6 ft height, defines what a male lead straight out of a fictional book should look like. Not to mention his intertwined with a charm and bad boy aura, tailoring Jeydon’s personality accurately.  </p><div> <span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754366805447SnapInsta.to_474737002_18488683408009398_7263253790402926835_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Gelo Rivera</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>River Joseph as Charles Gonzales</strong></div><p>On top of our heads, Charles Gonzales is one heartthrob we’ve always admired while reading the chapters. Brought to life by PBB star River Joseph, his portrayal was impeccable! Huge applause to his dedication for the role, working his muscles out to truly match Charles’s book profile. His visuals? Hands down! Being the walking green flag that he is, a loving brother, and a dashing bad boy with a gentle heart—we have to admit: we&#x27;re crushing hard!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754366972068SnapInsta.to_527448959_18521280016050696_4759964517677874403_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">River Joseph</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Harvey Bautista as Marky Lim</strong></div><p>A bad boy with a genuine image? Sounds quirky, right? But with Harvey nailing the role of Marky Lim in the movie, we couldn’t help but admire him. He is born to play the role! He has a natural appeal that exudes a prince-charming effect in every scene, instantly winning over the hearts of all. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754367108451SnapInsta.to_320061007_206027048580966_7928141487864052762_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Harvey Bautista</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/metro-style/beauty/2025/7/8/tdh-tall-dark-handsome-filipino-actors-1419" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: TDH: 8 Tall, Dark and Handsome Actors You Need to Know!</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Dustine Mayores as Troy Mendoza</strong></div><p>Just like Troy Mendoza in the movie, we might as well fall under his charm in real life! Dustine captivates us with his adorable face. He’s even more handsome in person compared to our screens, as if the high-quality camera sensor can’t do justice to his striking visuals! Tall, dark, and moreno? Yes, please!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754367191592SnapInsta.to_518341276_18348047182088446_3335554563053493295_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Dustine Mayores</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Brent Manalo as Shawn Lucas dela Fuente</strong> </div><p>PBB Celebrity Collab Big Winner Brent Manalo tugs at our heartstrings as Shawn Lucas in the movie.
