Several netizens also shared their praise for the series for its cinematic vibes.
Ang masasabi ko lang for #HeartsOnIceWorldPremiere — it's like watching a film on TV. The skating scenes look so cinematic! It reminds me of I, Tonya din.
Seeing my childhood dream of becoming a figure skater as a TV drama makes me very, very happy. Well done to the team. pic.twitter.com/IbbQRRxk59— ako si Katya, yowz! 🧀🥨 #PulangAraw (@It_IsMyKate) March 13, 2023
