Love finds way back to lost hearts in ‘Pusong Ligaw’ finale

-

MANY viewers have been hooked on the classic story of friendship between two young women who vowed to achieve their dreams while keeping their bond as strong as ever. This is the premise of Pusong Ligaw, the afternoon series which debuted on ABS- CBN on April 24, 2017, whose success earned it a second book as lead stars Beauty Gonzales ( as Tessa/ Teri) and Bianca King ( as Marga) wrestled with issues that enjoined their audience to cry and laugh with them— as the best of friends and eventually each other spilled over to their own children Ira ( Diego Loyzaga)

The eight- month afternoon drama ends today with love and forgivenes­s finding their way back to the hearts of powerful lead characters.

Pusong Ligaw served as the comeback project of Gonzales after giving birth to her first child. The former “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus” housemate is overwhelme­d by the series’ success, lasting longer than most daytime dramas, even without major stars in the cast.

The afternoon series, which be scenes between Gonzales and King have often left audiences wondering if the actresses have had to endure much pain while taping.

According to Gonzales, the physical scenes have not hindered herself and King from becoming good friends throughout the show’s run. In fact, they talk about how to execute the fight scenes— usually entailing slaps across the face— as called by the script.

“Minsannada­dalakasa emosyon,peromayusa­pan kami,na if ever madalasiya­sa isangeksen­anamasakta­nniya ako,naiintindi­hankonaman, kasi there are times nadimo matantiya.OKlangsaak­in as long namagandaa­ngkalalaba­san and as long as I know namannahin­diniyasina­sadya,” she said with a chuckle.
