GMA Network's drama anthology ‘I Can See You’ premieres tonight
Do you ever get the sense that you're being watched? Or that you are not alone? If you have ever felt like being spied upon by someone or something, more often than not, your instincts are correct. Researchers believe that humans are sensitive to gaze as it signals intimacy as well as danger; two of the things we need to pay attention to for our well-being.
Beginning tonight after "Encantadia," GMA Network features the brightest Kapuso stars in the drama anthology "I Can See You" on the Telebabad block.
Four mini-series will dwell on the common visual storytelling mnemonic device which is the use of a camera as a witness to the tales of love and mystery from everyday people; hence the title "I Can See You."
In observance of anti-COVID-19 protocols alongside the Network’s precautionary measures, the cast and crew of the show underwent RT-PCR tests, lock-in tapings and strictly practiced government-mandated safety and health protocols on set.
Kick-starting the drama anthology tonight is “Love On The Balcony” top-billed by Alden Richards, Pancho Magno, and Jasmine Curtis-Smith. It tells the timely story of a wedding videographer, Gio (Alden), who crosses paths with a frontline nurse, Lea (Jasmine). Uninspired and creatively drained, Gio is encouraged by his business partner and friend Val (Pancho) to search for a potential fling during quarantine. After their unfortunate encounter, romance eventually blossoms between Gio and Lea amidst the pandemic. Is this the beginning of a beautiful chapter in their love story or is it just destiny’s way of putting people in our lives for a purpose?
