“You can’t keep me buried forever”: A chilling mystery unfolds in iWant’s “Dead Girl Walking” Episodes 1 to 5

Marking their debut as an on-screen pair in the vertical series format, Kolette Madelo and River Joseph deliver a mix of romance and chills in iWant’s suspense-romance offering, “Dead Girl Walking.” 

Produced by JRB Production, the story follows a girl rising from the dead to hunt down those who wronged her.  

Luna frequently finds herself at the receiving end of Veronica’s (Allyson McBride) bullying, along with her friends Jessica (Reich Alim) and Sabrina (Hannah Vito), who constantly taunt her by calling her “Aswang.” However, one of their pranks takes a dangerous turn when Luna falls from the second floor of the school building following an altercation with Veronica. The mean girls secretly bury her body and dispose of any evidence that could link them to her disappearance. 

Convinced that their secret is safe, Veronica believes no one will ever find Luna’s body, especially with a recreation hall set to be built over her grave. She reassures Sabrina and Jessica that they have nothing to worry about, insisting that “Nobody cares for nobody.” However, just when she thinks they’ve gotten away with it, Veronica spots a mysterious girl in the distance, covered in mud and hay. 

The third episode shifts its focus to Elio De Vera (River), the school heartthrob who has captured everyone’s attention, especially Veronica’s. When Elio mentions that he hasn’t seen Luna in days, Veronica is visibly irritated by his concern. 

Later, while Veronica, Sabrina, and Jessica are inside the locker room, the lights suddenly go out. As the trio panics in the darkness, a chilling message appears on the mirror: “You can’t keep me buried forever!!!” 

Haunted by nightmares that bring them back to the night they buried Luna, the mean girls struggle to shake off their growing fears. Veronica dismisses the experience as a hallucination, but just as they begin to calm down, someone who looks exactly like Luna walks into their classroom, leaving the trio even more shaken. 

The new student introduces herself as Selene. Veronica, Sabrina, and Jessica immediately suspect that she is pretending to be Luna, convinced that Luna has returned to haunt them. However, they soon notice a striking difference between the two girls. Unlike the quiet and timid Luna, who rarely stands up for herself, Selene is feisty, outspoken, and unafraid to speak her mind. 

When Selene and Veronica get into a confrontation, Elio steps in to defend Selene, dismissing Veronica and her friends’ claims that she is Luna. What they don’t realize, however, is that their suspicions are correct. Elio and Luna are secretly working together to exact revenge on those who wronged her. 

Kolette effortlessly captures Luna’s gentle and kindhearted nature despite the bullying she endures, while also showcasing a fiercer side as Selene. Meanwhile, River brings charm to Elio’s character, but his secret alliance with Luna adds an intriguing layer to his role, leaving fans curious about how his darker side will unfold.

Beyond Luna and Elio’s growing connection, the vertical drama also underscores the importance of standing up against those who have wronged you. As their revenge plan gradually unfolds, viewers can look forward to more twists, scares, and shocking revelations in the episodes ahead.
