I knew

Wow. This is one's really good. Story wise, it's a classic revenge themed drama. Not so fresh, but still entertaining enough because it was done just right.

Nowadays, tv drama tends to be too long with too many filler episodes. But with this one, maybe it could've use a few more. Like a bit more back story for the police captain and what happened after the whole shebang. Or a bit more time to fall in love, before that bullet straight to the head. A little bit of conclusion could've been better.

To be honest, it was really obvious who was the villain since episode 1. It was painful to see FL, go through the trauma of tragically losing her father. And as an adult, it was painful to see her lose everything. Every truth that she believed in, every pain that she held close to her heart, and even the man she could've loved.

This show has a classic plot, very good fight sequences and a little bit pull on the heart strings. I wouldn't mind rewatching this again or watching a sequel if ever there's one.

Entertaining enough, funny at times but sometimes really hard to watch.

Bored. Specially with the first few episodes. Typical story, ML is narcissistic domineering borderline cruel male while FL is like suffering from Stockholm syndrome. She has lost her memories due to a traumatic past. They fell in love but ML turns out that he was involved with her parents deaths. Sounds super familiar right? They fought each other and they fought together until they suceeded, they've won their happy ending

Unrealistic story. Entertaining enough, funny at times but sometimes really hard to watch. Some really good fight scenes. Acting wise, I think only the main characters were good. Short back story, no complex subplots. There's only the ML, the FL and the love triangle. Skipped a lot just to endure some filler scenes. Re-watch value is really really low for this one..

Roller coaster ride of an epic love story..

The length of this series is seriously scary. Story was so complex, even the last episode left some other pieces of the puzzle for the viewers.

A roller coaster ride of an epic love story. Great actors, even their characters were well written. Subplots and secondary characters were also entertaining. This story is written to make people believe in love again, a testament of sorts that love is worth fighting for..

Might not watch this again in the next two years only because of its length. But definitely didn't regret watching it and don't mind rewatching it.

I think I like this better than The Devil Judge

A complex story without being convoluted. This has the right formula as it has a ML who's a bit rough around the edges but definitely with a good heart. And a FL who's a sweet loving daughter with a power punch for those who deserve it.

Actors played their role really well, even the supporting characters and their subplots were entertaining to watch. There's not much character development in here. They are who they were even from the start. Take the ML for example, he was a nice and wise kid turned into a crafty and a bit unconventional lawyer. A FL lawyer who's not weak and helpless but with a caring heart and a steel core. I also like the familial loyalty and love shown in the show. From a child to their parents, a parent to a child, to brother and sister relationship.

Action packed crime/mystery series with enough romance, drama and comedy to make the story interesting. And the best thing, this has a happy ending. Justice is served. I wouldnt mind if theres a second season.

Nostalgic. Complex characters. A little convoluted but still beautifully done.

One of Philippines finest TeleNovela.

Story wise, it has its ups and downs. Its so long, some of the episodes feels like a filler episode. Then some of them can arguably called master piece.

Characters wise, beautifully casted. Mixture of veteran actors and new breed casts. The development of each key characters are done right. Interesting backstory. Characters from this show become iconic. So iconic it has already a remake.

Love story was epic, though a bit convoluted with its own twist and turn. So glad everyone has their own version of happy ending.

A SciFi beautifully done with enough realistic touch to make it scary believable.

A SciFi beautifully done with enough realistic touch to make it scary believable.

The reality is that the world would eventually die if we do nothing to take care of it, in this series, it's the lack of water..

Then enter the SciFi part, searching for solution and finding it on the face of the moon. The creator of the show did a really good job in showcasing human nature's innate sense of self preservation. The day to day challenge of doing what's morally acceptable, all in the name of the greater good..

The only thing lacking with this show is a bit love story, to add a bit heart or warmth to the show. It is a bit too dark, only a bit of hope was shown at the last few minutes of the show.

Training Special Warfare should've been the title..

The plot of the show was really interesting at first, I'm really into it. I like the premise, girl power and all. The creator made a reasonable backstory for main characters to show the reasons for the decisions they've made.

Then it gets a bit draggy. I mean the training part, it took too many episodes to my liking. At pisode 11, they're still training. Nothings happening but training.

Episode 17, and surprise surprise, they're still training. I had to remind my self that the title of this show was "Operation Special Warfare" and not "Training Special Warfare".

This elite team is supposed to fight against terrorists, but all they did up to this point is to train and fight each other. To prove themselves worthy over and over again.

Episode 19, finally had some terrorist action.. Episode 29, training again. The story gets on and on about the life of the soldiers revolving around training most of the time, then their pain and sacrifices.

A great love story that can even surpass time and all tragic events life has to offer.

Over all, it's really a good story with well written plots and subplots for the televiewers to enjoy. But just like other shows in this genre, it had a bitter sweet ending.

The story started hundreds of years ago from one jilted lover to another. The ML and FL were just victims of this tragic events. They did nothing wrong but to love each other unconditionally.

Their challenges continue even to the modern times. It was fun seeing them being friends as teens then seeing them again sa adults, from friends to lovers.

I am okay with the whole journey, except maybe the last episode. I think it's unnecessary and cruel to end it that way.

Right blend of RomCom, suspense/crime/mystery to make a very entertaining story

Right blend of RomCom, suspense/crime/mystery to make a very entertaining story.

Being connected by a tragic past is nothing new with this type of genre but it's still very refreshing, not having a jilted best friend turned evil. It has a straight forward love story, from their tragic past to meeting again by accident, to being friends then turned to lovers.

What was weird was the mystery part. For televiewers, knows who's the main villain for most part of the story while the so called detectives goes round and round on finding the culprit.

I like the actors, I think they gave theirs characters justice. Even the ML and FL had a good on screen chemistry.

This show is so sinister, title could've been Sin to Love instead.

The first few episodes are so boring I almost dropped the show. I think I skipped so much more than I watched.

This show is so sinister, it should be tagged as deception, suicide, frame-up, cover-up, kidnapping, arson, and it even has coercion/blackmail in it. So if you're looking for something to pass time and make your heat flutter, then this one is not for you.

I saw the ML actor on Love is Sweet, so I thought I would also love this one. But I was so wrong. Acting wise, I think the show was saved by the 2nd ML. He did a really good job acting the role of a love crazed villain. From a very caring brother in law to a very obsessed twisted man real quick. I'll take brutality, gruesome action sequence that usually ends in death anytime over this.

The sweetness of the ML and the FL is so short, it felt a bit mediocre to me.

Straight laced ML + Mischievous FL = unusual arrangement

Nothing new here. Classic RomCom on a traditional setting. ML was a straight laced no non sense prince with a special condition. FL is a mischievous street savvy girl. They were fated. They complete each other.

They met, had an unusual arrangement, fell in love and then they found out that he was involved with her family's death. Sounds familiar? With a little political/palace power struggle on the side and some twist and turns along the way..

Cast did a good job. Not much back story but it was ok, plenty of mini entertaining story from supporting characters.

Maybe not be a master piece, but still entertaining to watch..

First few episodes were challenging to watch. Tried to watch the series maybe two or three times. At first I was not successful, I was a little bored. Then I pushed through, glad that I did.

As the story progress, the characters developed beautifully. At first, I thought there's no chemistry between ML and FL. Secondary characters became interesting too.

Story wise, its more of a RomCom than a SciFi and very light drama. It didnt make me cry but it gave me a little laugh here and there.

The mad scientist bothered me, for me its a hole on the plot. He's just there, a villain. Then he's just suddenly gone, no followup.

The ending was a happy one although a bit complicated for the lead characters. For people like me who loves happy ending, this is a good watch

Intriguing plot, never been used in any Filipino TV drama but not something new, internationally speaking. I just finished rewatching deep impact a few days ago, and the mention of ELE (Extinction-Level Event) made me winced.

Considering this show was from 2013, the effect aren't that great. The actors were okay, OST too.

But what I can't ignore was the major plot hole: the ML was a devoted soldier, an ex-convict framed by the previous president, was pardoned and was assigned a very important assignment for the project Genesis.

What was so important with this people? They have nothing to do with project Genesis and the humanity's survival. He then spent maybe 90% of the time looking for his lost love and daughter.

Then there's that karmic ending, the bad guys managed to hijacked the spaceship the was supposed to save the chosen ones. Then they collided with the meteor itself and saving the earth. What?!

Not gonna rewatch this, ever.

Interesting plot. Mediocre execution.

Too long. Too ambitious. Mediocre action/fight scenes. Too many love pairings that deserves much attention.

The construction of the story felt like puzzle pieces that doesn't fit. First was the drug/human traffickers; they tracked and attacked the FL for a flash disk that was encrypted. If they just let it be, they wouldn't be discovered. So why?

Then the sudden death of the ML's older brother where everyone around him was a suspect. It got lost in all corporate espionage/sabotage. The ML's competitors were nasty but they got away with it and still managed to get their own happy ending. I'm a sucker of happy endings, but why?

Well, at least this long show have a good OST and a happy ending. Would I rewatch this? Maybe never.

Out of the three installments of the Moonstone trilogy, this one is my least favorite. This is the last part of the trilogy, which meant that this would have better visual effects than the other two. But this one also has the biggest plot holes.

The first three episodes were perfect. It was a gift for all the fans of "Imortal", perfect conclusion for Mateo and Lia's love story. Then it went downhill really fast from there. That dragged on plot of the moonchasers, that dragged on Jacinta mystery took over maybe half of the whole series.

The presence of JLC, Angel Locsin and Richard Gutierrez almost over power the main lead. It was not their fault, it was just how the story was written.

The FL's backstory was well written obviously. But the ML's backstory was a bit messy. As it turns out, he was also Magnus son. If logic must be followed, he must be conceived almost at the same time as Malia. He was so busy waging war against Mateo and Lia. When did he find the time to rape a Luna soldier? And how did that Luna soldier (ML's mom) ends up with Barang and Supremo?

Anyway as the story unfolds, it was fun to see old characters from the past. It also have good action sequences and good OST. The romance part was a bit mediocre though. Still a good watch.
