‘Maging Sino Ka Man’ remake comes to Netflix
Netflix won’t just be giving holiday cheer this month but also a Filipino classic love story sure to send viewers swooning as they ask: What happens when two people from very different backgrounds meet?
Fireworks, of course. Romance! And then love. But while fate may have a hand in the beginning of such a love story, the challenge is this: “To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.”
Truly, this is the high-stakes gamble at the core of Maging Sino Ka Man.
Originally a 1991 romantic movie, the film gets a fresh update from GMA Network as a binge-worthy series. Starring Kapuso Primetime Princess Barbie Forteza and Pambansang Ginoo David Licauco, Maging Sino Ka Man gives Netflix viewers not just a front row seat to romantic moments between the leads but also action adventures that further fuel their growing feelings for each other… or possibly tear them apart.
The highly-anticipated TV adaptation of the box-office hit movie that starred Sharon Cuneta and Robin Padilla serves up romance, high-stakes action and comedy for a new generation of fans while sticking to the tenets of a timeless love story: Two people unlikely to ever meet until fate intervenes and gradually fall in love against all odds.
Barbie plays the role of Monique, an heiress of a business empire whose life is in danger, forcing her to hide and assume the disguise of the boyish Dino.
David is Carding, a petty thief who looks after orphans. Sparks fly as Monique and Carding struggle to hash out their differences but also come to discover they have a common past that could either build or destroy them.
The special limited series also features upcoming stars like Juancho Triviño as Gilbert Arnaiz, Faith da Silva as Cleo Ramirez, Mikoy Morales as Gordon, a.k.a Libag, and Rain Matienzo as Tetay.
Catch Barbie and David in Maging Sino Ka Man on Netflix beginning December 10. Available in Asia Pacific and Middle East territories.
