Dahil May Isang Ikaw

The last time I watched a Filipino soap religiously was in college, "Pangako Sa'yo". I remember I would flock with my dormmates in our TV room to watch it. The love story of Angelo and Inah. Loved the actors and the characters they portrayed. Not crazy about the story though. Typical Filipino story, but it was good enough to make me watch it til its ending.

The succeeding soaps I watch, I can't really remember well. Maybe because I was only accidentally watching it. Because my mom would watch it when she was accompanying me while I was having a late dinner, from school then. I would guess the next scenarios and sometimes even the lines. Then my mom would be pissed coz according to her, I was destroying the suspense. haha I love doing that all the time.

Just last Monday, a new soap was launched by ABS-CBN, Dahil May Isang Ikaw. They will be portraying lawyer characters. Something I am looking forward to watching. A first in Philippine teleserye. I'd like to see how they will 'dramatize' the court scenes. There's no doubt it is a 'glamourized' version. Most likely, far from the real thing. Nonetheless, as long as there is a judge, lawyers, witnesses and clients, surely I will be watching intently.

This is quite a timely soap, at least as far as I am concerned. I am currently being introduced with the law world. I am slowly diving into the real life of a lawyer. I have been on court hearing field trips last week. Trying to pick up a thing or two. I have to say, I am getting more interested and excited eachtime. Makes me wonder why I was shying away from this before. As Gig put it, he likes the adrenaline rush everytime he is in court. I'd like to have a piece of that too.
