Love & disguise in My Lover, My Wife

MANILA, Philippines - GMA brings to afternoon television a heart-melting story on how humble love could be trampled upon by selfishness and pretense. My Lover, My Wife starts airing today, replacing Koreana in GMA Dramarama sa Hapon.

My Lover, My Wife tells of two women immersed in the tricky world of beauty and cosmetic industry. One is deprived of many things in life; the other always gets what she wants.

After Trudis Liit, Maxene Magalona comes back to afternoon drama as she plays Vivian, a hard-working receptionist in a medical company. Vivian loves a man wholeheartedly and later falls victim to the pretenses of the people around her. Meanwhile, Nadine Samonte takes on another villain role as she did in the primetime drama, Endless Love. She stars as April, a young cosmetic surgeon and daughter of the most famous cosmetic surgeons in the country.

Joining them are Luis Alandy and Marco Alcaraz. Luis is Vivian’s husband, Lawrence, and Marco is Arthur, the object of both Vivian and April’s love.

The story begins with Vivian (Maxene) falling in love with Arthur (Marco), a medical student. Everything seems perfect until Arthur leaves to study abroad and eventually, stops communicating with her. Although this leaves Vivian devastated and embittered, she continues to love Arthur deep within.

Follow this story of how a man’s wife is also his mistress, as brought about by technology, pretension and circumstances. More significantly, witness how a broken heart is mended by disguise and, probably, by the same love that shattered it before.

Completing the cast are Carmi Martin as Ms. Charity, most sought-after cosmetic surgeon and mother of April; Ernie Garcia as Ramon, Vivian’s father; Maybelline Dela Cruz as Ellen, Vivian’s older sister; Princess Snell as Hazel, April’s friend; Rox Montealegre as Lyka, Vivian’s workmate; Jace Flores as Cesar, Lawrence’s friend; and Syrael Jester as Nicolo, Lawrence and Vivian’s son.

Directed by Jay Altarejos and written by Suzette Doctolero, My Lover, My Wife airs after Nita Negrita. It can also be seen worldwide beginning March 3 on GMA Pinoy TV.
