Source: ABS-CBN There is no doubt, I will miss this series.  It may have had some flaws(Remember my complaints about surgical masks, et cetera ?), but this is one series I watched from start to finish because I enjoyed it so much.  The good guys only killed when necessary like when they were defending themselves, and only as a last resort.  Thanks to i Want TV  I never missed an episode(the video above is from Daily Motion, and NOT from the said online service). Sigh. All's well that ends well.  If you missed the episode, visit iWantTV  so you could watch it in high definition.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a couch potato.  Now that I am better, I do go out once in a while and besides, it's bad for the eyes---the whole body for that matter---if I transfix myself to the telly/television or my laptop even if it claims it has a retina display. SANA DALAWA ANG PUSO (From Fashion Pulis ) #SanaDalawaAngPuso #SDAP Just the stars and their co-stars alone are enough for me to take interest in a Princess and The Pauper type of show, but from day one it was already very interesting. It is implied that they are twins or could be twins because Lisa's mother left them and Mona's mother left a family heirloom for Mona(and what are the odds that they are named Mona and Lisa, huh?). There are times when Lisa feels whatever is happening to Mona. The two leading men are very appealing here and they act well. Bayani Agbayani is very witty and funny here. Ryan Bang is getting better and better.  Kitkat, Kiray, Alma Moreno, Boboy Garovillo, Carla Martinez,...
