GMA Network opens February with “Love Of My Life,” an intriguing masterpiece that discusses love in different permutations.
At the center of it all is the Gonzales family, described as unlike any other.
Isabella (Coney Reyes), the matriarch, is a rich widow with high standards. She would stop at nothing to get what’s best for her family.
Nikolai (Mikael Daez), her youngest son, has grown into a rebellious man after causing a traumatic family accident which led to the death of his father.
Stefano (Tom Rodriguez), the favorite son, is a family-oriented architect who will fall for Adelle (Carla Abellana), a widow with a child who manages her own handicraft business, this, despite Isabella’s objection.
Matters turn for the worse when Kelly (Rhian Ramos), a woman with whom Stefano share a child barges into the picture.
How will Adelle, Kelly, Nikolai, and Isabella adapt to their unusual set-up, living inside one house?
Said Coney, “I’m really excited as to how audiences will receive the series. Personally, I think the storyline is quite intriguing. I would like to believe many are going to relate to the struggles of the Gonzales family.”
Rhian shared, “It’s been some time since my last show and drama pa so, I’m really looking forward to the challenges that my role offers. Interesting siya eh and I really do believe it will help further hone my skills as actor.”
Tom considers the show a life-saver, admitting he was unhappy prior to accepting the role.
“It was because of my dad passing away from cancer then, my brother-in-law naman, he has been diagnosed with cancer din so, medyo nagpatong-patong and I got depressed. Thankfully, this show has been sort of therapeutic for me. It helped thaake my mind off difficulties.”
