- Nickie Wang

IT’S going to be an enthrallin­g culminatio­n as the narrative of Liam and Joyce reaches its climax in the finale of the romantic drama series The Write One on May 25. Leading up to the conclusion, viewers can anticipate a blend of suspense, drama, and action, including captivatin­g scenes filmed in the illustriou­s city of Paris.

The Write One marks the maiden collaborat­ion between Ruru Madrid and Bianca Umali, who have adeptly brought to life the characters of Liam and Joyce/ Savanna. Enhancing the storyline are Mikee Quintos and Paul Salas who have skillfully portrayed the roles of Via and Hans, respective­ly.

In the finale, the magical typewriter plays a significan­t role once again. Liam, Via, and Joyce revise timelines, raising questions about their love. Set in Paris, will they rekindle their relationsh­ip or face a bitterswee­t ending? This GMA Public Affairs drama showcases iconic Parisian landmarks and fulfills the RuCa couple’s dream.

“It has always been our dream to go there, and we were fortunate enough to be able to go together,” Ruru said.

The two Kapuso stars also gave tourists and locals a glimpse of how talented Filipino actors are during their taping – with some passers- by stopping on their feet to watch them and praising them for their acting skills.

One particular heavy scene got rave reviews from the onlookers.

“After that scene, they all applauded. It’s really heartwarmi­ng that they said even though they didn’t understand what we were saying, they still felt the scene,” shared Ruru.

Ruru and Bianca, who are equally excited yet saddened that the series is about to end, cannot thank their supporters enough for the success of The Write One.

Ruru expresses gratitude to GMA Network, GMA Public Affairs, and Viu Philippine­s for the opportunit­y to be part of The Write One. He thanks his co- actors and viewers for their support.

Meanwhile, Bianca shares that the project was special and taught her valuable lessons about herself and life. She enjoyed working with the cast and production team.

Mikee and Paul are also grateful that they have become part of the hit series.

“I really enjoyed playing Via because her character had many layers. Thank you to everyone who supported our show. We hope you stay with us until the very end because there are a lot of twists that will leave you at the edge of your seats,” said Mikee.

“As Hans in the series, I got to discover more about my acting skills,” said Paul.

“Thank you for loving Hans and for making

The Write One part of your viewing habit.

We look forward to sharing with you the finale of this series.”
