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.
