I hardly ever make posts about Filipino primetime soaps, and its mainly because Filipino series last for more than a hundred episodes, and mostly revolve around the same formulaic topics. Late last year ABS-CBN premiered Dream Dad, a nightly series about Baste (Zanjoe Marudo), the bachelor president of a dairy company, and Baby (Jana Agoncillo),… Read More Yes, I’m a Dream Dad Addict: Here’s Why
Finally. A series devoted to my beloved Klaus Mikaelson — and his family. This time, instead of terrorizing the supernatural beings in Mystic Falls, the Originals are out for blood (pun intended) as they return to their home in New Orleans only to find that there is a new king on the throne — one… Read More The Originals: Don’t Mess with the Mikaelsons

My Binondo Girl is the first teleserye outing of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) alum Kim Chiu without her perennial on screen partner Gerald Anderson (following their rather public and emotional break up) and her first test as a bankable star away from the popular love team. The series premiered over network giant ABS-CBN in August… Read More My Binondo Girl: A Review

I caught the premiere of the 13 episode first season… Read More The Kitchen Musical: A Premiere Review
It’s no secret that Winter Sonata is one of my all time favorite Korean dramas. The story of Kang Junsang/Lee Minhyung and Jung Yoojin is among the most touching and emotional love stories I have ever followed on television/DVD in its various versions (I saw it with Korean, Chinese and Filipino dub). I just couldn’t… Read More Addicted to Winter Sonata (again!)
