Anyway, in the pilot week, all major characters have been introduced. The story centers around Dianne Santos, a rich lady who has everything - fortune, beauty, loving parents, loyal bestfriends, a sweet and handsome fiancee and a golden heart. She was surprised by her friends Jackie and Kayla in her birthday, but she got more surprised when her boyfriend Raymond proposed to her. We also met Ysabel Espiritu, a depressed lady who wants to die and feels like she doesn't need to live anymore. One day, as Ysabel tries to commit suicide, she created a chaos in the streets and a big road accident happened, which unfortunately included Dianne. After Dianne's car bumped with a truck, she was thrown out of the car but sees her body inside, unconscious and hurt. She finds out, through a man called Scheduler, that she's not yet dead. And for her to be able to return to her body, she needs to find three pure tears from three people that truly loves her in 40 Days, and as a help, she can use the body of Ysabel who works at night and sleeps during the day. And there she will learn more about the people around her and their secrets, and most especially about herself as well.
So far, I love the character of Dianne (to the point that I imitate her actions - but because we have actually almost the same personality! Lol.) because of her quirkiness, at the same time her desperation for her to go back to her body. Plus let's add the fact that Alex Gonzaga's portrayal is also good, though I can sometimes see the Alex in Dianne. :) But the biggest surprise of all is Yen Santos as Dianne. She really portrays the role very well and she can also differentiate her nuances and actions from that of Ysabel and Dianne. But I am excited to know the twists in Ysabel's character.
Joseph Marco is really an eye candy. He registers well in the camera and his portrayal as the guy who, as Dianne said, has a life-sucks attitude. Despite his character's kasungitan, he still looks so handsome. Let's also commend the chemistry he has with both actresses Alex and Yen! I am excited for his character's secrets to unveil, and for his topless scenes as well. :) Arjo Atayde also works out his charm as Raymond. His flashbacks scenes with Alex Gonzaga makes me kilig! I actually did not expect it but they have the chemistry as well! And I am also excited once the twist in his character unveils - example is Friday's episode. As for the other cast members, they also did well, despite that most of them are newbies.
As for the show itself, its visuals are very lovely to the eyes. You will never get tired of your eyes being glued on the screen because of that. The shots are very refreshing, and the effects do not look cheap. Rather, the show has the Koreanovela feel, affirmed by the cute graphics shown whenever Scheduler and Dianne will discuss their rules and countdowns, and the musical scoring as well. It is definitely a light drama because of Dianne's funny actions. And the best fact is that they do not try to be comic, but it is really innate in the story that it is light and the humor is not trying hard just for the show to be funny. The pacing is also past that you will never get bored with the story.
I am pretty sure that Pure Love will maintain its treatment and story. And I hope the ratings will. :)
Continue watching Pure Love, weekdays at 5:45 PM before TV Patrol! Chummy chummy! :)
