It has been 3 weeks now since I last saw Kristine, and from the feedbacks I got from my cousins, I guess I would not watch it anymore. Sabi nila iba na talaga yung story, as in super laki na nang pinagkaiba, and from a fan (of the books) such as myself, masakit na makita yung story na nagustuhan mong maigi na maiba, okay pa sana nung simula but then andami na nila (the tv show) ininsert na mga bagay na sobrang iba na talaga sa book, and yeah nakakadisappoint, nabasa ko sa forum ni MC na she/the fans felt na the show is not her Kristine Series anymore.
Pero I’m not telling you anything ah, if you enjoy the series, please do continue to watch it, pero I urge you to read the books para mas masaya xD I have nothing against the actors, I think bagay na bagay sila for the role, pero sana lang, ‘di na nagpasok pa ng kung anu-anong concept/twist na hindi naman talaga essential (sorry naparant na tuloy ako)

This will be long (depends on my mood). Btw Philippine/Filipino = Pinoy.
Today, it is common in my country to have dramas adapted from Pinoy pocketbooks, I have no objections since I have been a fan myself of PBs since I was in elementary school. Particularly I am a fan of Martha Cecilia’s work. I have blogged about the drama My Cheating Heart which was adapted from her work (and I love the adaptation).
Last Monday, another Martha Cecilia story was made into a drama – Kristine.
I tell you, of all the books written in Tagalog/Filipino, my favorite would be Kristine Series. Actually Kristine (the drama) is an adaptation of two stories from the series (the first and fourth book). There are a lot of stories in the series, which started from Marco and Emerald up to their children. It’s a bit hard to explain, but just imagine a story/series having two influential families (Fortalejo and Navarro), it includes the story from the first up to the third generation of their families.
The drama will feature the story of Marco de Silva (Rafael Rosell) & Emerald Fortalejo (Denise Laurel) and Bernard de Silva Fortalejo (Zanjoe Marudo) & Jewel Fortalejo (Cristine Reyes). I think ABS CBN will focus first on the Fortalejo Clan, however I do hope that they’ll make a drama based from the Navarro clan as well (as long as the casts are acceptable)
