Kim, Kristoffer reignite tandem via Paraiso

MANILA, Philippines - Beginning tomorrow, Jan. 27, GMA 7 unveils the latest addition to its slate of innovative programs for the first quarter of 2014 with the debut of Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw. It will replace Prinsesa ng Buhay Ko before 24 Oras.

Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw is a beautiful love story which reaffirms that real joy is to share the fulfillment of each and every dream with our one true love.

To portray the lead roles in the drama series are Kim Rodriguez as Josephine and Kristoffer Martin as Tupe. Kim and Kristoffer are excited to reignite their love team in Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw after the success of their first team-up via the afternoon prime soap, Kakambal Ni Eliana. Armed with their onscreen chemistry and natural acting skills, both artists will make us believe once more that no obstacles can keep us apart from the ones we love.

Adding spice to Kim and Kristoffer’s love story are Joyce Ching as Cheska, the half sister of Josephine who will fight for her place as the one and true daughter of Edward (Gabby Eigenmann) and introducing Phytos Ramirez as Brix, the adventurous adopted son of Regina (G Tongi), who will fall in love with Josephine.

Completing the cast are Janno Gibbs as Badong, the fisherman who will rescue Tupe after being separated from Josephine when they escape the island; Gabby Eigenmann as Edward, the real father of Josephine; Jessa Zaragoza as Yvette, the scheming friend of Teresa and Regina; Neil Ryan Sese as Berto, Yvette’s cousin and bodyguard; Maricel Morales as Celia, the wife of Badong; Irene Celebre as Herminia, the matriarch of the Rodrigo family; and Ida Yaneza as Salve, Yvett’s mother.

Making Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw grander is the special participation of Joey Marquez as Artemio, the mysterious hermit in Isla de Amor, who will be the guardian of Josephine and Tupe.

Under the direction of Bb. Joyce Bernal, Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw will take viewers through a journey of smiles and tears, where true love always triumphs in the end.

Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw is another original creation of the GMA Drama group under the supervision of SVP for Entertainment TV Lilybeth Rasonable; VP for Drama Redgie Magno; AVP for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy; program manager Ali Marie Dedicatoria; and executive producer Marjorie Garcia.

The creative team is composed of creative director for drama Jun Lana; creative head Jake Tordesillas; creative consultant Aloy Adlawan; and headwriter Marlon Miguel.
