The story begins with Ellen, a hardworking janitress who falls madly in love with Carlos, a successful businessman who is already married to Leila. Unknown to Ellen, Carlos is not serious about their whirlwind romance and only becomes aware of his true feelings after finding out that she is pregnant. Ellen tries to end her ties with Carlos after Leila starts attacking her. But Carlos wants to raise their child and tells Ellen that their child would have a better future with him. Ellen agrees with Carlos, but unfortunately, Leila vehemently opposes this idea. She resents raising her husband's illegitimate child, so she plots a scheme to switch the child with someone else's. When Ellen gives birth, Leila is present to "help" out, but in truth, she uses this opportunity to switch Ellen's son to another newborn baby girl in the hospital. The moment Ellen sees her child, she immediately falls in love with her baby and tries to back out of the deal she made with Carlos. Furious, Carlos gets Ellen arrested for a fabricated crime so he can get full custody of their child. Helpless and powerless, Ellen swears vengeance on Carlos and Leila. Meanwhile, Carlos showers his daughter Elize with love and attention, not knowing that Leila has switched Elize to his real child. His orphaned son grows up in the docks of Manila through the kindness shown by the people in the port district. Because of his mestizo and charming looks, he is given the moniker Tisoy. And by some weird twist of fate, Tisoy ends up working in the port owned by his real father, Carlos. Everything seems to be in place and going well for Tisoy and his adoptive grandmother Lola Tilda until one fateful night when he crosses paths with Elize, the rich daughter of Carlos. Tisoy is completely smitten with Elize's beauty and she finds him charming too. Soon, the two become lovers and keep their romance a secret from Elize's disapproving parents. How long can Tisoy and Elize weather the odds of their forbidden romance? With Carlos and Ellen threatening to tear them apart, can the star-crossed lovers fulfil their destiny to be once and for all be together even in the next lifetime? What will happen to Leila if her secret is finally revealed? What will Carlos' reaction be if he finds out the truth about Tisoy's real identity? Will Ellen continue with her scheme to separate Tisoy and Elize if the truth about their identities is exposed? (Source: GMA Ent.) Edit Translation

Like a meloromance Kdrama from early 2000.

From what I know,
this Philippine primetime series that aired in 2012 will just serve as a mini-series or a filler for that time slot while the network prepares a bigger project to go against the unbeatable and sensational drama from the other network.
However, to everyone's surprise,
this cliche and predictable bittersweet young love story of Tisoy and Elisse
has become a hit!

Aside from the veteran actors,
it was a good call to cast two new and promising young actors for the lead roles.
Alden and Louise called DenLou by their fans/shipper had become one of the Philippines adored love teams in showbiz during their time.

The premise and conflicts were overused and overfamiliar but because of the amazing performances from the actors,
I have never met anyone who watched this drama who didn't shed a tear.

The melancholy and heart-fluttering moments has similar vibes to early 2000 meloromance Kdramas.
