Super Junior’s Siwon & Donghae topbill Skip Beat

MANILA, Philippines - Korean superstars Siwon and Donghae of popular K-pop boy band Super Junior and one of Taiwan’s most adored actresses, Ivy Chen, become official Kapamilya as their hit Asianovela Skip Beat started airing yesterday on ABS-CBN’s Kapamilya Gold.

The long wait is finally over as two of the hottest Korean heartthrobs from the 13-member group, dubbed as the “King of Global Korean Wave,” hit Philippine TV with a must-see series that originally aired in Taiwan.

Follow the story of Nikki (Chen), a girl who dedicated her life to support her close friend and childhood sweetheart Sam (Donghae) so that he can pursue his dream of becoming a singer.

Reality hits her one day when she overheard Sam talking to another woman and said that he is just using her. From that moment on, she vowed to reclaim her pride and seek revenge.

Her fury further ignited when Sam belittled her and said she won’t be able to avenge herself because they live in two very different worlds. He even quipped that the only way for Nikki to seek revenge is by being famous too just like him. These hurtful words prompted Nikki to also enter the world of show business.

Nikki then works her way up to becoming an actress and strives to become more successful in the biz than the man who broke her heart. While learning the ropes, Nikki meets Kean, a certified superstar in the industry and Sam’s number one rival.

Kean learns of Nikki’s vendetta against Sam and will help her become a better actress. Nikki, on the other hand, also helps Kean overcome his insecurities.

This newfound friendship will draw them closer together that will lead to something more.

Is Nikki ready for a new love? Or is she still hoping to be with her first love Sam at the end of it all? Will she pick the man she loved in past or the man who loves her in the present?

A week before its pilot telecast, Skip Beat already landed on the top Twitter-trending topics nationwide not just once, but twice, after Asianovela fans poured and expressed their excitement.

Skip Beat airs Mondays to Fridays after Galema: Anak ni Zuma.
