GMA Telebebad’s “MY BELOVED "
GMA Network continues its
nationwide domination this 2012 as it produces another high-calibre and optimum
primetime offering with the launch of its newest drama series, My Beloved. It will replace Survivor
Philippines
beginning February 13 on GMA Telebabad.
Leading the blockbuster ensemble of
cast is no less than Philippine Television’s most popular loveteam and
one of today’s hottest couples in the entertainment arena, Metro Manila
Filmfest 2011 Best Actor Dingdong Dantes
as Benjie/Arlan, an angel of
death commonly known as “sundo” who takes on a human form to save
the life of his beloved woman, and Primetime Queen Marian Rivera as Sharina, the
beautiful mortal who falls in love with a fallen angel.
My Beloved is the very first
original primetime soap opera of both stars who underwent not just major
makeovers with their looks but also in the characters they portray, something
new and fresh their avid fans and supporters should look forward to. This is
likewise Dingdong and Marian’s fifth collaboration with the network after
starring in Marimar, Dyesebel, Ang
Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang and Endless Love.
Adding star power to this
high-budgeted program is the special participation of one of Philippine
Cinema’s highly-commended veteran actresses, Ms. Nova Villa. Following her stint in the network’s
afternoon prime soaps, Ms. Nova lends her acting chops in her very first
primetime program as she plays an offbeat role as Lola Inggay, Benjie’s drunkard grandmother. She lost her faith in God
after experiencing countless misfortunes throughout her life. As Lola Inggay,
she earns a living by deceiving people as a jueteng
collector.
Joining Dingdong and Marian are
some of today’s biggest names in drama headlined by Paolo Contis as Gimo, Benjie’s childhood friend who is the leader of
their gang. This latest project reunites Paolo with his long-time friend
Dingdong after playing the latter’s villain in Ang Babaeng Hinugot Sa Aking Tadyang. Meanwhile, Katrina Halili joins the cast of My Beloved
as Emmie, Benjie’s loyal
girlfriend. Katrina once again stars alongside Dingdong and Marian after
playing the famed kontrabida role of Rebecca Santibañez in the high-rating
telenovela, Marimar; Marky Lopez as Tikyo, Benjie’s most trusted
ally; and playing an equally vital role is respected dramatic
actress, Ms. Chanda Romero as she
breathes life to the character of Elsa,
Sharina and Monica’s authoritarian aunt who will make their lives a
living hell.
Making this primetime spectacle
even grander are two of today’s most sought-after loveteams: the desirable tandem of Jennica Garcia as Monica, Sharina’s protective sister,
and Carl Guevarra as Junic, Monica’s boyfriend; and the
lovable pairing of Tween stars Louise delos
Reyes as Grace, a poor
girl who pretends to be well-off, and Alden
Richards as Rico,
Benjie’s younger brother.
Playing the coveted role of
Sharina’s ardent suitor is one of GMA’s hottest and most desired
properties, Mikael Daez as Nelson. Mikael is all set to showcase a
new breadth to his acting skills and make more hearts swoon to his striking
good looks.
My Beloved also introduces the
glittering roster of fast-rising Kapuso stars including Ynna Asistio as Lizette, Emmie’s spoiled sister; Saab Magalona as Ginella, Elsa’s arrogant daughter; Djanin Cruz as Lucy, Monica’s tomboyish friend; and Andrea Torres as Dessa, Sharina’s bestfriend.
Completing the star-studded cast
are the characters known as “Sundo” who will join Arlan in his
mission: Jon Hall as Joryl, Fabio
Ide as Rowan, and Jay Gonzaga as Mikal.
The story of My Beloved begins when
Sharina’s happy life turns upside down with the death of her father,
Romeo. Left all alone with nothing and no one to care for them after her mother
eloped with another man, Sharina and her younger sister Monica must now live
and work under the strict rules of their aunt Elsa and her daughter Ginella.
Life has been unbearable for the
two sisters, but Sharina does not give up in despair, and instead strive to get
an education through the help of Lily, played by Rio Locsin in a special guest
role, a kind-hearted teacher who treats Sharina like her own daughter.
Tragedy strikes Sharina’s
world once again when Lily passes away. Much to her surprise, Lily entrusted
her small business including
her house to Sharina. So, together with her sister Monica, Sharina decides to
move in to Lily’s house and start a new life.
One day, Sharina sees Lily’s
old painting of a man inside her ancestral house. She also gets hold of
Lily’s diary and learns of her encounter with a man who saved her from an
accident. Lily fell in love with this mysterious person and waited to be
reunited with him until her last breath.
Completely intrigued with the
identity of the good-looking man on the canvas, Sharina could not get the face
of the man out of her mind and it repeatedly haunts her dreams every night.
Until she meets an accident and Sharina finally comes face to face with the
mystifying being in the painting. The man saves her from death and Sharina
kisses him before he disappears.
In the divine realm of angels, one
strict rule applies to every “sundo”: that no angel of death can
fall in love with a human being. In such case, Arlan has freely chosen to give
up his immortal state when he genuinely kissed Sharina back.
Meanwhile, when Sharina wakes up,
she searches for her rescuer and falls in love with him. Unknown to her, the
man in the painting and her rescuer is one and the same person.
But by a startling twist of fate,
Sharina and her “mystery” man’s paths entwines as she meets
Benjie, a playboy and a member of a small-time syndicate. The angel Arlan, who
has been punished and banished to earth to become a mortal, transfers his soul
into Benjie’s body and equally falls in love with Sharina. Now, Arlan
must live a life of a mortal and redeem himself to go back to heaven.
As Sharina yearns to be united with
her mystery man, she will face many struggles after discovering his real
identity as a thief and gangster. Now trapped in Benjie’s body, Arlan
must learn how to feel human emotions and endure the day to day life of a normal
human being.
Now that the two fated lovers are
reunited, how will Sharina accept the truth about Benjie’s violent and
shady past as a criminal? How will the fallen angel Arlan cope with his
newfound life as Benjie, as he deals with the various temptations and struggles
of being a human being?
As the two unlikely lovers
enter an earthly relationship, will Arlan succeed in fulfilling his mission of
saving his beloved Sharina with his second chance at life, and at love? Will our
star-crossed lovers realize their destiny to once and for all be together even
in the next lifetime? Will
their love story and commitment to be together last till eternity? Is Sharina
willing to commit sins for the sake of her loved ones? Will Arlan be willing to
go to hell and back to save his beloved Sharina?
Under the helm of Director Dominic Zapata with original
concept by RJ Nuevas, My Beloved
showcases a beautiful and timeless tale of undying love between two people of
two different worlds. It is a unique traditional drama that stands out for its
excellent character portrayals and heart-thumping scenes from beginning to end
with top notch production values that naturally highlights the series’
many compelling moments. My Beloved is a story of sacrifice and love, of how each
of the character lives’ intertwine as they encounter the magical journey
of eternal love.
Don’t miss the unconditional
story of never-ending love with the much awaited premiere of MY BELOVED, beginning Monday, February 13
on GMA Telebabad.
