GMA Network delights viewers with the enthralling tale of romance between two individuals whose love has always been opposed by forces and how fate always brings them back together in the much-awaited primetime series, The World Between Us, premiering today, July 5.

Headlining the drama series are Alden Richards as Louie Asuncion, the intelligent orphan with a penchant for inventing gadgets and who will work his way up to prove that he is worthy of Lia’s love; Jasmine Curtis-Smith as Lia Libradilla, the lovable and compassionate youngest member of the affluent Libradilla family who will fall for Louie despite their differences; and Tom Rodriguez in his most offbeat role yet as Brian Libradilla, the stubborn and bullheaded eldest heir of the Libradilla family.

Alden, who at first felt apprehensive to take on the role of Louie, admits that his character’s depth prompted him to accept the project, “When we started reading the script, iba ‘yung binabasa mo na siya from naririnig mo lang ‘yung kuwento. That started the fire within me to create this character na very relatable. With the cast, the story, the director, I think this is going to be one of my best teleseryes in five years.”

Jasmine, in turn, reveals the secret behind her undeniable onscreen chemistry with Alden, “Pareho kaming in love sa characters namin and sa story nilang dalawa so that makes the chemistry so much easier kasi ramdam mo ‘yung kilig ng character mo.”

Meanwhile, Tom shares how he resonates with the complexity of his character, “At first glance, it may seem like mahirap maka-relate kay Brian. But as I read the script even more, one thing became so clear – that he’s a wounded person.”

Playing equally vital roles are Dina Bonnevie as Rachel Libradilla, matriarch of the Libradilla family, and Jaclyn Jose as Yachie Delgado, the matron of the Libradilla family.

The cast also includes Sid Lucero as Eric Carlos, Lia’s two-faced childhood friend who secretly fancies her; Yana Asistio as Jackie Carlos-Libradilla, Eric’s sister, and more.

The World Between Us features the special participation of Glydel Mercado as Clara Asuncion.

The soap begins with an orphaned tech genius named Louie (Alden) who is taken under the wings of Rachel Libradilla (Dina), CEO of the leading cellphone manufacturing company in the Philippines, Prime Mobile. Under Rachel’s care, he meets her kids, Brian (Tom) and Lia (Jasmine).

Louie becomes particularly close to Lia and he develops feelings for her. Soon, it becomes evident that Lia has also fallen for Louie.

But they can’t be together, not yet. Louie doesn’t want to betray Rachel’s trust. He wants to become a better man, be an asset to Rachel and eventually prove that he is worthy of Lia; that he can give the world to her.

Witness the enthralling love story of Louie and Lia in The World Between Us — under the helm of Dominic Zapata — weeknights on GMA Network.

Viewers abroad can also catch it via GMA Pinoy TV. It will also be available for streaming via iQiyi International or IQ.com for subscribers in the Philippines.
