GMA Network tries to stem the drought of original productions on TV with the release of romantic comedy "Adik Sa ‘Yo."

After a glut of adaptations, it fields the original creation which its award winning director Joel Lamangan promises to be something refreshingly funny.

Four of GMA’s most sought-after stars, Dennis Trillo, Jennica Garcia, Marvin Agustin and Jolina Magdangal, lead the cast of the primetime series.

"Adik Sa ‘Yo" follows the lives of Ruben (Dennis), Karen (Jennica), Carlos (Marvin) and Joana (Jolina) – four people who couldn’t be more different. As fate would have it, their paths inevitably crisscross to create a rollercoaster ride of emotional highs and lows, unexpected twists and turns, and life-changing surprises.

Kare is from a nouveau riche family with a sardine factory. Karen’s overbearing mom, Stella (Elizabeth Oropose), wants to marry her off to Carlos (Marvin), a successful businessman whose family supplies them fish.

Meanwhile, Joana (Jolina), Karen’s conservative half-sibling, works as a secretary for the family’s business, known as "Stella Stardines." Underrated and unappreciated both at home and at work, she spends her weekends caring for the elderly at the home for the aged, played by Tony Mabesa and German Moreno.

On the night before Karen’s wedding, Joana, in spite of their obvious dissimilarities and constant bickering, senses her sister’s apprehension about the marriage. Joana then tells her sister to put her happiness first and to follow her heart’s desire.

Karen runs off, with her assistant Emilene (Charisse Solomon) in tow, and ends up in Batangas. She leaves behind a letter explaining her reasons, which makes everyone blame Joana.

Consumed with guilt, Joana apologizes to an intoxicated Carlos. One thing leads to another and they end up in a very awkward place.

Meanwhile, Karen meets Ruben (Dennis), a magtutuba. She falls for the small-town boy, who, unfortunately, has a girlfriend, Camille (Pauleen Luna).

This is the start of what promises to be the crazy love story of the four young people.

Also in the cast are Joey Marquez, Chanda Romero, Eugene Domingo, Iwa Moto, John Lapus, Ces Quesada, Luz Valdez, Benjie Paras, Vanes del Moral, Sanday Talag, Mosang, Jim Pebangco and the SexBomb Dancers.
