Based on household data recorded in National Urban Philippines from December 1, 2012 to January 4, 2013 (December 23 – January 4 based on overnight readings), Temptation of Wife registered 19.6 percent household rating, leading ABS-CBN’s A Beautiful Affair’s 18.4 percent by 1.2 points, and Kahit Puso’y Masugatan’s 13.1 percent by 6.5 points. Using the assumption of an estimated five (5) viewers per TV household, Temptation of Wife’s margins of 1.2 points and 6.5 points translate to more than 500,000 viewers and almost 3 million viewers, correspondingly.

In Urban Luzon, which comprises 77% of national urban television households, Temptation of Wife made a definite win over its counterpart programs in ABS-CBN. It scored 21.9 percent household rating, 4.7 points and 9.2 points higher than A Beautiful Affair’s 17.2 percent and Kahit Puso’y Masugatan’s 12.7 percent. The gaps of 4.7 points translate to 1.6 million viewers, while the gaps of 9.2 points translate to 3.2 million viewers.

The primetime series likewise led in Mega Manila, which represents 59.5 percent of rural TV households in the country, after generating a 22.9 percent household rating, while A Beautiful Affair and Kahit Puso’y Masugatan trailed behind by 5.9 points and 10 points with only 17 percent and 12.9 percent, respectively. The gaps of 5.9 points translate to 1.6 million viewers, while the gaps of 10 points translate to 2.7 million viewers.

This week, Angeline (Marian Rivera) continues to lure Marcel (Dennis Trillo) into her schemes. She steals his car keys and when Marcel returns to the restaurant, he is shocked to see Angeline inside his car.

Angeline asks Marcel to help her find a place since he’s in real estate business. Marcel gives in to her request and takes her to a condominium unit. As he is about to leave, he will hear someone taking a shower. How will Angeline seduce Marcel? Will he fall into her trap and get caught by Heidi (Glaiza de Castro)?

'Temptation of Wife' with a Filipino Touch Makes a Grand Comeback This October 29!

The Koreanovela that dramatically hooked Filipino viewers to their TV screens makes a big comeback as GMA Network brings the Pinoy adaptation of the top-rating drama, TEMPTATION OF WIFE.

Starting October 29, Temptation of Wife, which scored phenomenal ratings success when it was aired twice in the network, gets a “Filipinized” version with the most bankable Kapuso actors portraying the well-loved roles in the original Korean series. 

Leading the grand ensemble of cast is no less than Primetime Queen Marian Rivera as she breathes life to the character of Angeline Santos, the main protagonist of the series who will transform from a timid and submissive wife to a cunning, feisty and reformed woman to avenge herself against her husband and her best friend.

 

Playing the role of Angeline’s irresponsible and unfaithful husband Marcel Salcedo is award-winning dramatic actor Dennis Trillo. Dennis has clearly established himself as one of the most talented and versatile leading men in the industry and with his latest TV endeavour, he is set to show a new dimension to his acting ability and charm the hearts of millions of Filipinos.

Tasked to reprise the equally popular character of Angeline’s hard-hearted best friend Heidi Fernandez is multitalented actress Glaiza de Castro. With her new role as the ruthless Heidi, Glaiza will deliver another exceptional performance as the woman who will do anything to get what she wants even to the point of forsaking her family, betraying and even conspiring to kill her childhood best friend.

Set to portray the role of warm and caring Nigel Armada is newest Kapuso Rafael Rosell. Rafael feels very honoured and excited as he dabbles on his first primetime lead role which will surely make even more female fans swooning over him.

GMA Network is proud to present a stellar cast of the country’s most respected artists in film and television: Rio Locsin as Minda; Raymond Bagatsing as Romeo; Michelle Madrigal as Chantal Armada; Antonio Aquitania as Leo; Ayen Munji-Laurel as Lady Armada; Bettina Carlos as Madel; Rez Cortez as Abner and Ms. Cherie Gil as Stella.

 

Angeline and Heidi share a deep bond of friendship ever since Heidi was orphaned and was taken under the custody of Angeline’s parents, Abner and Minda. Angeline grows up responsible and compassionate while Heidi, fuelled by ambition and envy, secretly detests Angeline and always feels inferior next to her.
 

Many boys are attracted to Angeline but she falls in love with Marcel. It doesn’t take long before Angeline becomes pregnant and gives up on her dreams of becoming a make up artist in order to marry Marcel.

Although their marriage is void of happiness, Angeline tries to be an excellent wife to her husband, and takes good care of her in-laws, Romeo and Stella. However, she soon learns that the life she chose is full of lies and betrayals. Adding to her woes is her unexpected miscarriage.

She soon discovers that Marcel is cheating on her and shocked to learn of Heidi’s treachery. Angeline is devastated by the thought of being betrayed by the two people closest to her heart.

Marcel decides to end his affair with Heidi but Heidi is already pregnant with his child. He chooses to live with her as Angeline is forced to go back and stay with her parents. But Angeline finds out that she, too, is pregnant with Marcel’s child.

Marcel and Heidi plot to kill Angeline and disguise her death as suicide. But by a twist of fate, Angeline survives and is back for revenge. She assumes the identity of another woman and seeks out vengeance against Marcel and Heidi.

Now, it’s time for pay back and Angeline will do everything to taste the bittersweet part of her revenge. How will Marcel react to a woman who looks exactly like his supposed dead wife, Angeline? And when fate begins to favor the once oppressed Angeline, how will she turn the tables on Marcel and Heidi who once betrayed and punished her?

With Director Dominic Zapata at the helm, GMA Network’s Temptation of Wife will definitely make primetime viewing more intense and empowering with its intriguing and absorbing storyline and interesting characters.

Temptation of Wife premieres October 29, Mondays to Fridays replacing Luna Blanca right after Aso ni San Roque on GMA Telebabad.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Philippine Remake of the Hit Koreanovela 'Coffee Prince' Starring Aljur Abrenica and Kris Bernal Premieres Tonight!

After the heart-breaking end to the love story of Tisoy and Elize in the primetime soap “One True Love” made viewers across the country burst into tears when it ended last Friday, the new series set to replace it is poised to do otherwise.  

The Philippine adaptation of the well-received Korean series, “Coffee Prince,” debuts tonight on GMA’s Telebabad primetime block.  The series stars one of the loveliest love teams on Philippine television -- Aljur Abenica and Kris Bernal.

Aljur plays the role of Arthur Ochoa, a wealthy but easy-go-lucky bachelor who is notorious for being a playboy.  Although he loves to flirt around with just any girl that comes his way, he is actually secretly in love with his half-brother’s ex-girlfriend, Arlene (portrayed by Max Collins).  Meanwhile, Kris Bernal plays the role of Andy, the exact opposite of Arthur.  In her desire to help her family make ends meet, she would take any job just to earn a living.  Somehow, in an interesting twist of fate, she and Arthur would fall for each other.

The Korean version of the series, which previously aired on GMA-7, was well-received by the Filipino audience.  Although not much of how the story goes was changed, the context around which the Filipino adaptation would revolved has been “Filipinized” to make it more relatable to local TV viewers.  Also, an additional character -- that of Steven Silva -- will be introduced.

During the story conference held over a month ago, the show’s director Ricky Davao admitted that while he is excited to work on the show, he couldn’t help but feel nervous especially since the original version was a top-rater.  However, he is confident that the good on-screen chemistry of Aljur and Kris coupled with an ensemble cast can pull it through.

Kris and Aljur, on the other hand, are both excited to be working alongside each other once again.

During the press conference of the show held last week, members of the press noticed the extraordinary closeness of the two.  Asked how special Kris is to him, Aljur’s tongue somehow slipped when he said: “sa lahat ng mga nakapartner ko, sa lahat ng naka-RELASYON ko, ibang-iba talaga si Kris.”  Oops! Does this mean that Aljur and Kris are ready to admit that they became lovers before?  When the media pressed on for Aljur to expound on what he had said, the actor simply smiled and digressed.

“Coffee Prince” airs tonight after “Luna Blanca” on GMA Telebabad.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)
