Who is Pangako Sa 'Yo Remake For?

After watching last night's (June 15, 2015) episode of Pangako Sa 'Yo, we realized something. This 2015 remake is not exactly for the ones who have watched it 15 years ago. It's a classic story from two decades ago being retold for today's generation.

It's not for those who at their teens enjoyed the whirlwind romance of Angelo and Yna played by Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa. It's for those who want to story itself but told in this generation's style, culture and timeline.

So after realizing this, we've come up with a guide for dummies on HOW NOT TO WATCH PANGAKO SA YO Remake:

1. Do not look for Jericho Rosales & Kristine Hermosa schools of acting. Gone are the days of the emotional guy whose tears are easy to fall care of Echo himself. This is now Daniel Padilla's turn to showcase the character he perceives from the script. Gone are the days of the deep thinking and strong but knows-her-place look of Kristine Hermosa. This is now Kathryn Bernardo's turn of depicting a character she thinks who Yna is. Give it to them.
2. Do not stop yourself from getting 'kilig'. Don't be age-conscious and say you're too old to feel something from the latest tandem-- KathNiel. It's ok. You are not alone. After that episode which featured Daniel Padilla as Angelo directly telling Yna that he likes her, just think about the countless scenes still to come. So be ready to be yourself.
3. Do not question the placement of characters and their timeline. Some if not most of you who've seen the original piece may be wondering why the character of Mr. P came out real soon. Now we're not sure if he's the Tony Banks (played by Ricky Davao) but his character didn't appear early on. Leave it to the writers though as to how they want to tell the story. It's their script, it's their timeline.
4. Do not expect Tata Isko to be as phenomenal as before. It was the actor himself at that time that made the character popular. Now we don't believe Jericho Rosales was offered that role for the remake. You know ABS-CBN and their promotional schemes.
5. Do not wait for the Claudia vs. Amor Powers show before you watch Pangako Sa Yo 2015. The soap opera is now getting high ratings despite not having them yet. We tell you, this remake will raise the bar in terms of the romance between characters Angelo and Yna. Unlike the original which was more me-and-you-against-the-world serious type scenes, this one will have more scenes that will put you back to your teenage years. The writers will make sure you fall in love with the tandem first before the world goes against them brutally.

We certainly have comments here and there like how Angelica Panganiban's portrayal of Claudia is similar to her character portrayal in the movie Beauty in a Bottle. But we choose to say the least of that and just enjoy the remake.

Meanwhile, enjoy this throwback scene of Amor Powers versus Claudia Buenavista.

What KathNiel Fans Think of Crazy Beautiful You on Twitter

It's no surprise that Star Cinema's Crazy Beautiful You earned big on day 1 of showing. The writers have managed to elevate the tandem of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla to a more substantial storyline.

This is why comments about the recent KathNiel film have changed. From just tweetums reason to watch the movie in the previous films, the fans have more to say this time. We asked them on Twitter what they think about this movie, and here's what some of them said.

How about you? What do you think of Crazy Beautiful You?

Kathryn Bernardo is NOT kissing Daniel Padilla

Kathryn Bernardo has finally spoken up. She did not kiss Daniel Padilla in a recent out-of-the-country trip.

Bernardo has responded today after a report of a 'kissing scandal' at TV Patrol last night. She said that Padilla is only used to cuddling her cheeks because the latter finds it chubby cute.

That report may be detrimental to her membership in Iglesia Ni Cristo since it's a delicate issue to her religion.

Fans will have mixed reactions for sure though. Some will find it 'kilig' coz it's their wish to see KathNiel kiss. But some will find it premature.

Whatever the outcome, truth be told from Bernardo's lips-- they did not kiss.

Why Daniel Padilla Is An Instant Hit

He doesn't have a muscular physique. Not tisoy. But he has dimples, has Justin Bieber hairstyle only black. And he's a Padilla. But these can not be necessarily the reasons why Daniel Padilla is an instant hit.

With more than a million (as of April 2013) followers on Twitter and an album which is now on platinum record in sales in just a month, no doubt Daniel Padilla is an instant big star. Star Magic has again developed a precious possession in their management who will remain to be a household name for decades.

In one of the production numbers alongside Khalil Ramos, Ogie Diaz said that they gained more applause and cheers from 'fans who seemed like there was no tomorrow' than the previous performers Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual in the same show. This only means that Padilla, being one of the new Star Magic products, is part of a new generation of the famous ones in the Philippine showbiz industry.

Rito Asilo of Philippine Daily Inquirer said one time in his article, "Daniel Padilla has his Tito Robin's magnetic presence and cheeky swagger…" These characteristics may be something that the generation of fans have been so looking for. Something they haven't experienced from celebrities since they didn't catch Robin Padilla in his younger years.

It can be theoretically said that the charm that his uncle had may have been passed on to him. It can be theoretically claimed that he's the Robin Padilla of this generation, the leading man who captivated not just a lot of leading ladies but millions of televiewers and moviegoers as well.

But there is one more theory as to why Daniel Padilla became an instant hit. Let's start explaining this by checking his timeline. In 2010, we haven't heard of him much yet. That despite the fact that he already came out in Gimik 2010 as Daniel Ledesma. The show didn't last long as Tween Hearts of GMA 7 was reigning supreme at that time. The next year he again came out in 2011 for Growing Up, the show that replaced the former. It didn't last long again because Tween Hearts was still reigning in the ratings. But in 2012, a revelation surprised the fans. A lead role was given to him in Princess and I. For weeks, his name or his role's name would trend on Twitter every night. Fans got hooked to his character and to the story of the show.

What can we get from this? ABS-CBN is just a master in creating instant stars. They're like the Lucky Me of Philippine showbiz industry. Given the right role and the right timeslot, and the script that catches the hearts of the televiewers, boom! A star is made.

Note that Tween stars of GMA started in showbiz before him. But followers-wise, he has more. Compare the Twitter accounts of Tween guys to his, the numbers are too far from his.

No doubt, Kapamilya has made another famous member of their family. The network definitely knows how to turn an unknown main ingredient to a 'yum, yum, yum' delicacy.
