Unfortunately, I was unable to watch the pre-finale episode of Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin last night. But last Wednesday, they left a lot of unanswered questions and loose ends which, IMHO, cannot possibly be ended or tied up all together by tonight. But then again, teleseryes always do that, they abruptly end things.

Stars John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo, Luis “Lucky” Manzano and Anne Curtis, and Jason Abalos and Angelica Panganiban. It’s another trilogy of mini-romance movies that Star Cinema is so fond of. Jerry Lopez-Sineneng, Don Cuaresma and Bb. Joyce Bernal each direct one episode.

This was supposed to be Star Cinema’s ammunition against GMA 7′s Lovestruck. But somehow, it got waylaid and is now showing at a later date.

Starring Claudine Barretto, Aga Muhlach and John LLoyd Cruz!

Directed by RORY QUINTOS!

Coming this September!

Nea and Ivan emerge from the restaurant. Ivan says he was really scared when Nea called him but as it turns out it was just a burnt fuse. Nea apologizes and tells Ivan she is paranoid because she doesn’t want what happened before to happen again. (Pasensya na kung malabo, matagal na akong di nakakapanood nito kaya di ko alam ang mga nakaraang pangyayari.)

Months ago, a showdown between Star Cinema’s Dreamboy and GMA Films’ Let the Love Begin occured. In that round, GMA Films brought in the money and the win. Apparently, GMA Films’ strategy of bringing together two love teams was able to draw in larger crowds. Alangan naman, combine the fan base of Jennylyn Mercado and Mark Herras plus Angel Locsin and Richard Gutierrez. Siyempre mas marami yun than the combined fans of just Bea Alonzo and Piolo Pascual.

So now, Star Cinema is fighting fire with fire.

This September, GMA Films is coming out with Lovestruck starring Jennylyn Mercado, Mark Herras, Yasmien Kurdy, Rainier Castillo, Mike Tan, Ryza Cenon, CJ Muere, and LJ Reyes, and a bunch of other young stars. They are all cast in a single story of confusing love triangles among young people. Napaka-unique ng idea, right?

Similarly, this September, Star Cinema is releasing All About Love, a trilogy of three separate love stories. One episode stars John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo. Another one stars Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano. The third episode stars Angelica Panganiban and Jason Abalos (SCQ2 Finalist).

Hmmm… Whatcho think??? Sino kaya mananalo sa round na ito???
