Ongoing teleserye: Pangako Sa 'Yo
At nangyari na nga. After months of nonstop promotion, pinapalabas na ang Pangako Sa ‘Yo ng
ABS-CBN, a remake of one of the most popular local teleseryes of all time.

Two things: I didn’t
see the first (and original) TV series, and I do wonder why, considering the
wealth of talent they have in that network, do they have to do a remake and not
an original? Then again, I didn’t factor
in the enduring appeal of the extreme storyline (na super fave nating mga
Pinoy, aminin), and the massive appeal of KathNiel (that’s Kathryn Bernardo
and Daniel Padilla to you, in case you’ve been living under a rock all this
time) as Yna Macaspac and Angelo Buenavista.
Kaya naman, eto, I’ve been
hooked since episode one.
Partly because I had no idea how the original story went,
partly because of over-hype, and partly because of curiosity, I found myself
eagerly awaiting every installment. So
much so that I’ve become an avid viewer of this show’s pre-programming,
Nathaniel (hindi ako masyadong mahilig sa ganung theme, sorry naman). Plus ang cute nung bata. Na crush daw pala ni Lyca Gairanod ng The
Voice Kids Season One.
Anyway, nakikita ko naman kung bakit andaming fans ng
Kathniel. Over sa charisma ang dalawang
‘to, lalo na si DJ. Surprisingly, medyo
may maturity na sila sa pag-arte, which I see during Angelo’s (Daniel) scenes
with his father, Eduardo (the still so pogi Ian Veneracion), and some of Yna’s
(Kathryn) scenes na din. But really, I
watch the show because I can’t wait to see the scenes of Claudia Buenavista
(Angelica Panganiban) and Amor Powers (Jodi Sta. Maria), like many
viewers. So far, okay naman acting ni
Angelica (si Amor/Jodi is still going through her transformation), but I think
she could make it less Banana Split and more One More Try.
Sa support characters, medyo nagsa-standout sa ‘kin si Diego
Loyzaga (and not just because he’s cute), but because he’s showing more acting
versatility here. Of course, you can’t
beat Amy Austria, Ronnie Lazaro, and Joem Bascon in the acting game.
Right now, I’m all about seeing Amor Powers in action, and
see what’s all the fuss about Bea Bianca—I’ve been seeing posts warning the
actress (Sarah Carlos) of the wrath of KathNiel fane (apparently pala
magkaka-moments sila ni Angelo). I’m
going to sit back and relax, and just wait.
Ongoing teleserye: Pure Love
I'm not (yet) a big fan of Koreanovelas, so I had no clue what Pure Love was all about. But I've heard that it's a good show. So, I did what I had to do--nanood ako ng Pure Love, starring Alex Gonzaga (as Diane), Matt Evans (as Scheduler), Joseph Marco (as Dave), and Yen Santos (as Ysabel).

I'm glad I did. I didn't like Alex too much before, but now she's become one of my faves. Matt Evans has always been talented, so I expected that. Plus Yen Santos is such a refreshing face, and OK din naman umarte. Joseph Marco, of course, is a sight for sore eyes. :-D What a fun show! Even if the topics are actually serious and even goes deep into faith, values, and beliefs.
At nakakainis naman talaga itong si Arjo Atayde (as Raymond). That means he's a really good actor. He's probably the best one in the group, and no wonder, he's the son of Sylvia Sanchez, who's also there as his mentally-challenged mom. OK din si Yam Concepcion (as Kayla). John Arcilla and Sunshine Cruz (as Diane's parents) are just, as expected, super credible and magaling.
But when I googled the title and found a Wikipedia article, I saw the roles assigned to Yen Santos--and discovered that she's supposed to be the missing ate of Diane! I found this out months ago, and now pa lang ire-reveal sa show since last two weeks na. Sana lang hindi agad nailagay sa Wikipedia!
Two weeks to go and I hope it won't end the way it did sa Koreanovela (of course na-research ko na din). Since we Pinoys love happy endings, I'm a bit hopeful na it won't be a sad conclusion. :-D
