Linlang: The Teleserye Version premiered on TV5 last January 22, headlined by the powerhouse ensemble of Kim Chiu, Paulo Avelino, JM de Guzman, and the Diamond Star herself, Maricel Soriano. Since then, the Todo Max Primetime Singko series has been setting records; from online trends and reactions to TV ratings.

First week pa lang, usap-usapan na ang serye at halo-halo ang naging reaksyon ng mga viewers. May mga natuwa dahil ang dating nakikita lamang nilang mga trending clips, napapanood na nila! Mayroon ding galit na galit dahil sa mga eksena at revelation sa karakter ni Kim Chiu na si Juliana.

Ayon sa AGB Nielsen Philippines, ang PILOT EPISODE noong January 22 ay umabot ng rating na 9.0%, habang record-breaking naman ang rating noong February 1 na umabot ng 10.0. Trending din ang ilang mga hashtags at key phrases na may kinalaman sa teleserye noong pilot week nito.

Sa ginanap na mediacon noong January 15 , sinabi ni Direk F.M. Reyes, na iba raw ito sa version ng serye na ipinalabas sa isang streaming platform noon. Sa teleserye version, hinimay ang bawat karakter upang mas maintindihan ang naging puno’t dulo ng mga kasalanang ginawa nila. Mas nakilala rin ang mga taong nakapaligid sa main characters na sina Juliana at Victor, played by Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino, at kung ano-ano ang naging papel nila sa buhay ng mag-asawa.

Isa sa mga pinag-usapang karakter dito ay ang inaakala ng lahat na unang kabit ni Juliana na si Lucas, played by Jake Ejercito, na kalaunan ay napag-alamang bading pala. Sa kanya rin nanggaling ang tip na may iba ngang kabit si Juliana. Makapigil-hininga naman ang naging engkwentro sa pagitan nina Lucas at ni Victor, nang abutan ni Victor sina Lucas at Juliana na magkasama sa iisang hotel room.

Mahaba-haba rin ang nilakbay ng pagdududa ni Victor, pero sa bukingan din ng kalokohan nauwi ang lahat. Humantong ito sa madugong engkwentro ng magkapatid na Victor at Alex, played by JM De Guzman.

WATCH | Natikman ni Alex ang bangis ni Victor

Hindi lang si Victor ang aktong nakahuli ng kalaswaang ginagawa nina Juliana at Alex, pati ang mismong biyenan niya na si Amelia, nahuli sila. Kaya ang inaabangang “sampal ni inay” ni Ms Marice Soriano, talaga namang pinagusapan din.

Well received din ang perfromance ni Kaila Estrada bilang Sylvia na asawa ni Alex, at pinatunayan niyang mas classy pa rin ang original kumpara sa copycat.

The performances and scenarios are so believable, that we thought some might be inclined to check on their partners as well. And based on the reactions and shares of our curated list, we were right!

Dahil sa mga nangyaring ito, napagpasyahan ni Juliana na mag-file ng annulment para mapawalang-bisa na ang kasal nila ni Victor. Pero hindi siya sinukuan ni Victor. Inamo at muli siyang gumawa ng mga paraan para maibalik ang dati nilang pagmamahalan. Lumipat si Victor sa mansyong binili ni Juliana (na dati na ring nagsilbing tagpuan nila ni Alex), at ngayo’y pinipilit niyang mabuo muli ang kanilang pamilya. Dito tumatakbo ang istorya ng serye ngayon.

Ilang eksena rin na sa teleserye version lang napanood ang pinag-usapan, gaya ng pamamahiya ni Alex kay Victor, na nag-backfire naman dahil sa ginawang paghalik ni Victor kay Juliana sa harap ng mga bisita.

While the series is heavy on intense and shocking scenes, there are still heartwarming moments in between. Like this rare instance, kung saan muling napasaya at napatawa nila Victor at Juliana ang kanilang anak na si Abby. One might even wonder, kung ito na ba ang simula para mabuo muli ang kanilang pamilya.

As the series continues, expect more exclusive and explosive scenes from Linlang. The cheating scandal might have been exposed already, but we are just seeing its aftermath. What would become of Juliana and Alex’s love affair; and Juliana and Victor’s marriage, is yet to be seen.

Tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang gigil ng buong sambayanan gabi-gabi sa Linlang: The Teleserye Version na mapapanood tuwing 8:45 PM Lunes hanggang Biyernes, pagkatapos ng FPJ’s Batang Quiapo at bago ang Can’t Buy Me Love, sa TodoMax Primetime Singko.
