Part 1: What’s Behind Hate To Love You Movie’s Actors, Actresses & Their Characters?
Blake Manning As Shay
Hate To Love You vertical drama’s stories emphasize the hottie Shay Coleman as the school’s football captain.
Shay also loves to joke, and at some points, he combines his jokes and influence at school to flirt. Let’s not forget that Shay’s tempting six-pack abs are something only a trusted few could see.
At first, he and his other friends make fun of the nerdy Kennedy. Kennedy’s acts of pouring cola over his face might shock him. After all, that’s the first time a girl attacks him in front of the school’s crowds.
However, it also becomes the first thing that draws Shay closer to Kennedy. As the story progresses, Shay also shows his kind-hearted side. For instance, he fixes Kennedy’s glasses and helps her with the school’s projects.
As for the person behind Shay’s character, that’s Blake Manning, who has always starred in school romance short movies. This movie serves as his ReelShort debut; then, again, he plays Shay’s bad-boy roles brilliantly!
Hannah Lowery As Kennedy
Kennedy holds a nerd reputation in Hate To Love You movie’s universe. However, Gage and Shay are the only guys who don’t refer to her with such a nickname.
Gage is her brother, but Kennedy’s wishes to hide him lead other students to mistake their relationships. Meanwhile, Shay is the school’s hottest guy and the football captain. He’s the one who causes Kennedy to fall head over heels with.
Such things lead Gage to develop an intense rivalry with Shay, especially after the latter replaces his Captain position. At this point, nobody except Kennedy knows that she wishes to prevent the same cheating ex scene from happening.
Back then, Kennedy used to be in a relationship with her first love, Parker Stanton. Parker’s remarks about using her to prank Gage are the things that traumatize Kennedy each time she encounters male students.
Hannah Lowery, who plays Kennedy, also successfully portrays her peace-loving and diligent personality! Actress-wise, she is known for her good girl roles. Kissed By Claw And Fang and Tell Me Not To Love You are two ReelShort movies featuring Hannah’s roles.
Carter Moczan As Gage
Gage Clarke of Hate To Love You short drama should be Kennedy’s older brother. To their family, he’s the poster boy due to his intelligence and athleticism. Let’s not forget that he protects Kennedy from the creeps.
He even goes as far as punching Kennedy’s first love, Parker, in front of her. That’s what he does after he states his disapproval of their relationships. He does it again when he sees Kennedy making out with his worst enemy, Shay.
Gage used to be the school’s football captain, and he’s also as playful and sociable as Shay. It makes other students nominate him as the school’s hot guy.
At the same time, Kennedy wishes nobody would know that she’s his younger sister. Such things lead not only to Kennedy naming him as Do Not Answer on her phone. Instead, other students also mistake him for crushing on Kennedy.
Gage’s actor, Carter Moczan, has previously played in two ReelShort movies. Betrayed Alpha Queen Rises From The Ashes and The Betrayed Mother Is The Divine Heiress are those movies.
Jonah Walker As Parker
The despicable Parker Stanton might only appear in Kennedy’s flashbacks in the Hate To Love You vertical drama’s episodes. He used to be Kennedy’s first love due to his awesome ability to mask kindness.
He helps Kennedy reorganize her books, smiles at her, and even spends their quiet times in the car. This seemingly kind-hearted act also leads Kennedy to be furious when Gage calls him a shithead.
Kennedy only figures out Parker’s actual personality when she heads to where Parker lives. There, she sees Parker having an affair with Mina, and together, they mock her. Not stopping there, Parker also says that he only wishes to use Kennedy to get even with Gage.
The actor for Parker’s role, Jonah Walker, portrays Parker’s cheating and cowardly personalities well. His previous plays on ReelShort include Bound By Honor, Vicious, Cancel The Wedding Queen Moves On.
Part 2: What Are The Stories In Hate To Love You Vertical Drama That Involve The Characters?
Hate To Love You isn’t something Kennedy expects to experience when she boards at the same school as her brother. Kennedy’s brother, Gage, might be the one begging her to go to the same school as her. Yet, she also refuses to let the school know about their blood ties.
As a result, Gage’s worst enemy, Shay Coleman, accuses him of dating Kennedy. Such misunderstandings persist even after Shay and Kennedy’s relationships have gone deeper.
Every time Shay confronts Kennedy, she says that Gage is not her boyfriend. She even renames Gage as someone not to answer in her phone’s contact list. Still, such things aren’t enough to free her from being the class’s gossip object.
That’s the same thing she experienced one year before her encounters with Shay. Back then, her first love’s mistress, Mina, made her the class clown by making her video viral. At the same time, Kennedy knows her first love only uses her to get even with Gage.
Gage can’t stand Shay provoking him by stealing Kennedy away from him. Meanwhile, other students are also prepared to haze Kennedy when she’s alone and vulnerable. At this point, Shay should be Kennedy’s only hope, but how will she clarify the misunderstandings?
Part 3: What Do We Consider As The Hate To Love You Vertical Drama’s Attractive Points?
We love the twist that involves Parker’s despicable nature in Hate To Love You vertical drama! That’s because the flashback explains how Kennedy wishes to keep her blood relation to Gage a secret.
The family’s photos’ presence in Kennedy’s room means she’s not ashamed of Gage as her brother. However, the hurt feelings she carries after Parker’s cheating acts and Parker’s words stay in her mind.
We can sense how Kennedy struggles in seeing guys as not Parker’s carbon copy. Hannah, a.k.a. the real-world person portraying Kennedy’s role, has emphasized Kennedy’s emotions while she holds the family’s photo.
Hannah’s portrayal of Kennedy’s tears and confusion is something that makes us want to see more of this movie. Kennedy’s reaction every time she bumps into Shay’s six-pack abs and exchanges banter with him also feels enjoyable.
