Reviews
Like most Filipino dramas, the quality you would find of this drama isn't really that good. But it's really worth a watch for everyone. The plot of the story is really filled with a lot of cliches... like long lost daughter, poor to rich cinderella, somewhat of an ugly duckling turned to swan, the ex regretting, a baby born (not out of wedlock), evil stepmother and stepsisters, evil mother-in-law and etc...
There's really too much to count... but even though the plot is filled with this many cliches, it's still quite enjoyable. Personally, I watch a lot of Filipino teleseryes growing up, but I never really rewatch them years after that or something like that. Only this teleserye managed to come back again and again, which is very surprising as I don't rewatch Filipino dramas, thus became my favorite Filipino drama.
So, hopefully much more people would watch, review this drama more. You guys will really like it.
I've never actually watched the previous adaptation of the drama, the one by Marian Rivera in 2007. But that was definitely a hit, immensely popular, hence why there's this. I don't really think there's much difference between the two aside from the actors and actresses portraying the characters. Maybe some might not agree with me but I really think this is not any worse or less than the Marimar in 2007.
I really recommend this drama to everyone!!! So please watch this, it needs more reviews and watchers.
