Synopsis
Maxpein Del Valle is a spunky teenage probinsyana raised by her grandmother and uncle after her mother died in Japan when she was just 11. Max gets the surprise of her life when her wealthy father, whom she just recently discovered, offers to help pay for her grandmother’s hospitalization. Out of gratitude, Max agrees to her father’s request to live with him and his family in Manila.
Already feeling like a fish out water at home, Max is also treated as an unwelcome outsider in her new school, Benison International School when she stands up to Deib Lohr Enrile, the basketball varsity captain. To get back at her, Deib gets their entire batch to prank and bully Max. However, the more Deib engages Max in their game of cat-dog one-upmanship, the more he realizes that his goal to crush Max’s spirit has transformed into an undeniable crush on the one girl he never thought he’d even like.
But the return of their past loves and their various family problems threaten to rip apart Max and Deib’s blossoming and fragile romance.
He's Into Her is a coming-of-age story that tackles what the young and the young at heart must be brave enough to fight for: family, friendship, and love.

Production
The project was first unveiled in 2019. Chad Vidanes stated that the story is a romantic comedy with "a hint of coming of age."[2] It was originally planned as an "iWant original" and a "cross platform" for ABS-CBN. However, production was postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ABS-CBN shutdown and the denial of franchise renewal.
In 2021, it was announced that the series will premiere Kapamilya Channel (cable) and A2Z (free-to-air), with advanced episodes from iWantTFC online.
