The limited series made its debut on GMA Network’s primetime lineup last January 16, replacing the recently concluded ‘Mano Po Legacy: The Flower Sisters’.
There are already plenty of reasons to get into a ‘kilig frenzy’ and fall in love as the month of love approaches. One of those many reasons is the teen series, ‘Luv Is’, whose lighthearted warmth and tender love story have taken Kapuso viewers by storm.
Now, you may be wondering if you should check out the new series, too. Here are just five of the many reasons why you should:
The series is based on the web teen novel of the same name.
Wattpad’s Luv Is series has amassed millions of reads, as well as dedicated fans who are certainly happy to see the characters take to the small screen. The series consists of several books, which means, ‘Caught In His Arms’, won’t be the last title, under the teen anthology series.
Promising young Kapuso talents star in the series.
Considering that most of the original webtoon’s diehard fans belong to the ‘Gen Z’ demographic, it makes complete sense that the TV adaptation’s first title features young actors. This is sure to entice TV viewers. GMA Sparkle talents Michael Sager, Vince Maristela, Raheel Bhyria, Sean Lucas, Caitlyn Stave, Cheska Fausto, Tanya Ramos, and Kirsten Gonzales. These talents join lead stars, Allen Ansay and Sofia Pablo, as cast members of the series.
The series explores the facets of ‘young love’, as well as family.
Fans may look forward to the love angle of ‘Caught In His Arms’ but there are actually a lot more interesting elements to watch out for. Among these are the dynamics of young love that it will undeniably explore. The young cast also promises to showcase heartwarming takes on family and familial relationships, which guarantees that this series will surely cater to not just teenage viewers.
The series marks both Sofia Pablo and Allen Ansay’s first starring role in a Kapuso primetime series.
It’s always exciting and inspiring to see a talented young star finally getting his or her well-deserved break, after getting stuck in the periphery doing minor roles. Pablo and Ansay already have memorable big roles under their belts, but ‘Caught in His Arms’ is officially their biggest break, not to mention it’s on primetime!
This upcoming primetime delight is helmed by Barry Gonzales.
Gonzales already has a string of successful romance and comedy titles under his belt, which kind of tells us this TV adaptation has picked the ideal director. Among his memorable projects, including several episodes of ‘Maalala Mo Kaya’, the Vice Ganda comedy, ‘Fantastica’, and the Netflix chart-topper, ‘Izla’.
Already capturing millions of Filipino viewers, as reflected by its very high Nielsen Philippines people ratings, Luv Is: Caught In His Arms is poised to draw in more smitten viewers, with its developing story. Make sure not to miss a single episode, as it airs Mondays to Fridays, after Maria Clara at Ibarra. Watch the full trailer below:
