Who can forget the 2001 blockbuster soap opera ‘The Promise’! It was billed as a success, bagging five television awards raging from best drama and series to the most highly commended series.
Well, things are about to get interesting following the remake of this soap opera in 2015. Excitingly, the new series will be showing on StarTimes.
In this remake, the story begins with Amor de Jesus (real name Jodi Sta. Maria), a nursing student whose dream was to become a chef. She is the mother of Yna Macaspac, and is portrayed as vicious and vengeful against the Buenavista family. Strikingly, her own daughter Yna is in love with Angelo, the son of Eduardo Buenavista, who she had loved in her own youth.
Amor nonetheless sees Angelo as the kingpost of her revenge against the family. However,by destroying him, he will have to cross Yna, her daughter. Ultimately, her conflict with the Buenavista family faces the intense love between her daughter and Angelo. And by crossing Yna Macaspac, Amor is unwittingly led to the greatest tragedy of her life – greater than what has befallen her in the past. Will she ever find out that Yna is her daughter? Will they reconcile? Will Yna and Angelo’s love prevail like it did in the original soap opera?
