OTWOL ... the love team behind it ...and why many women felt they ended up having a boyfriend when James Reid said "Nadine, I love you"
When I went home for Christmas, my sister and nieces introduced me to the world of young love teams in Philippine showbiz. But they introduced me to another love team which became phenomenal last year. Why it became phenomenal?..it started with the unplanned side look of Yaya Dub to Alden. ..and they built a love story behind it. However, I finally lost interest when the kalyeserye is all about the repeated split screen of dubsmashing the same songs again and again. Also, I felt that things now are being orchestrated to sustain that kilig moment.
But Kilig feeling never happens to something orchestrated and planned. You can feel it when it is unexpected. Serendipity is how real "kilig" feeling happens ..... uplanned, unintended and accidental beautiful happens
But going back to the subject of this blog... while searching for episodes of Kalyeserye, I ended up coming across these three initial episodes of OTWOL in youtube. Since I want something new, I watched it instead and my interest about that telenovela started. I registered in TFC free for 7 days. Gosh! Trying to watch 90 episodes for 7 days was hard but imagine I was able to do that. But I finally needed to pay watching it because the telenovela is still on going.
The telenovela has more substance in terms of story. Also, it has this very nice poetry reading done by Juan Miguel Severo. It has been a long time since I heard poetry. Nowadays, we send messages in acronyms and we are trying to express emotion as short as we can. The telenovela also tackles the situation happening in real lives of Filipino like OFWs, the desire of most Filipino to go to US and that major trending topic... if you are Leah, which one you will choose ..career/family or Clark, the man of your life. It was indeed a good topic for discussion as different people have different views depending on where they are coming from.
What will I choose..career/family or a man? Having not married, I guess I chose the career/family. :) But now at this stage where I have a good career and my family is well even with the passing of my mother, I wanted Leah to choose Clark. ..and I uphold what Clark's belief that if indeed Leah loved him, she would choose him and face the struggle of paying a debt costing hundred million pesos for the operation of her father. But really in practicality side, that is insane :) But we want "insanity" when it comes to romance and love.
Since the love story in the telenovela is not as romantic as it was when it started because Clark and Leah broke up, I ended up following the real lives of the James Reid and Nadine., the love team behind the telenovela. I ended up watching their off camera moments while they were shooting OTWOL. ..their kulutin, ang pag-akbay ni James kay Leah habang naglalakad, their holding hands , ang tinginan, tawanan ... until finally James said "Nadine, I love you." in a concert. OMG! namimilipit ang mga tao habang pinapanood :) I guess the reason ladies felt ..na para sila ang nagka boyfriend...is because they followed their lives and how their friendship blossomed. And lastly, isn't it sweet when a man announced it to the entire world.
Life needs us to be practical and wise. But we all need love to be inspired. We need that one look that only the two of you can understand, that look who makes a woman feels she is the prettiest woman in the world.
