The One that Got Away: Exciting twists and revelations in the reunion of the Exes and a new love!

Wednesday, January 24, 2018

The One That Got Away premiered last week via GMA Telebabad, it is the opening teleserye of GMA Network this 2018 promising a lighter mode in the evenings.

I was able to watch the pilot episode together with Bloggers and Kapuso Brigade and I really enjoyed watching it even until now, me and my family gets to watch it every night because we are glued to who will Liam end up with, we have different bets for Liam.

I for one, I am rooting for Alex which is played by Lovi Poe. I believe the two have distinct chemistry and I wish they can do a movie in the near future.

Although I also love the chemistry of Dennis with Rhian Ramos and Max Collins. The casting of The One that Got Away is really perfect, all of the stars fit their roles and Nar Cabico made every scene even more amusing. A lot of people can relate to the story and I'm glad GMA Network created a teleserye that can win the hearts of everyone, just to enjoy the late night viewing without getting stressed watching who's gonna die next or who killed someone etc. Primetime should be a family time where everyone can enjoy a good laugh and some "kilig" episodes as well where people can learn a thing or two from the story.

Headlining this primetime soap are the following: Three of the network's sought-after leading ladies—Rhian Ramos as Zoe, Max Collins as Darcy and the Kapuso Premiere Drama Actress Lovi Poe as Alex and the Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo as Liam who plays the very important role of the man whom these woman had a relationship with in the past.

The Story:

The first ex-girlfriend is Lovi Poe as Alexandra Rey "Alex" Makalintal. She is beautiful, independent, family-oriented and incredibly career-driven. She and Liam fell madly in love. Alex's family loved Liam too, and Liam's friends all liked Alex for him. But Alex's career goals got in the way. She rejected Liam's marriage proposal and they parted ways.

Max Collins is the second ex-girlfriend as Darlene "Darcy" Sibuyan. She and Liam met after Liam broke up with Alex. They became friends until they fell for each other. But when an opportunity abroad presented itself to Darcy, she decided to take it. The long distance relationship didn't work for both of them, eventually breaking them apart.

The third ex-girlfriend is Rhian Ramos at Sophia Elizabeth "Zoe" Velasquez. She is a swimwear designer and blogger who's always out for fun. Her parents separated when she was young which is why Liam became her pseudo-family. However, Zoe's possessive tendencies and Liam's busy schedule is the reason why their relationship fell apart. But ever since breaking up with him, Zoe regretted her decision and wants Liam back.

Dennis Trillo is William Dominic "Liam" Ilustre or Alex, Darcy and Zoe's ex-boyfriend. He is the ideal boyfriend—handsome, smart, loving and a true gentleman. He manages his own organic farm and dreams of a big, happy family. He eventually meets a fatal accident and wakes up from a coma to find his three exes together in his hospital room.

Three perfectly lovely women are still in love with him. But who will win his heart again? More importantly, how does friendship thrive among Alex, Darcy and Zoe if they were all once romantically linked with the same man? The cast also shared their experiences while shooting some of the episodes during the pilot viewing.
