Maria Clara at Ibarra

It's a Great Series You can learn a lot from the history of the Philippines Especially the novel of Dr Jose Rizal GMA Did Well at Adapting this series Into A tv show it's worth watching. I like the Costumes The Artists they did well at portraying their characters Especially Sisa. But What I didn't like is how the story ends It's Just lacking Of Something Maybe this show has season 2? I hope so.

This is the beginning of the Great Era of Philippine Entertainment and I hope more Tv shows like this This should be the one that This generation should Watch not those violence tv shows! It's a well series Recommend it to watch.

I feel like Maria Clara at Ibarra sets the bar high it'll inspire Filipino filmmakers to do well too. I hope this won't be the only Filipino Serye that will capture many's eyes.

I love how all the actors played their characters so well! They were all is such a great casting! The villains will really get to your nerves and the protagonist's personality will really grow on you. The side characters are worth admiring too, you'll notice how they highlight the "Filipina" beauty. It reminds us how beautiful our natural faces are comparing to the standards now, which Klay might represent.

The writing is great, there's barely cringe scenes (only when a dramatic scene is prolonged a little) but I guess it adds to their character. But I don't think their purpose is only for fillers.

I haven't seen any "teledrama" made in the Philippines for a long time. I have always thought most series from the Philippines are unnecessarily long, repetitive and boring. I decided to give this title a shot after hearing about it on Social Media, and boy I'm glad I did!

The script is well-written, funny, witty, and relatable. The characters are mostly likable (except for the villains, of course). The costumes and settings look great (especially considering budgetary constraints of a show produced in a developing country). And most importantly, the story is engaging.

It's amazing how this book was written over 100 years ago (where this series is based on) and still reflects the modern struggles of the Filipino.

My only complaint is how the volume changes from loud to quiet in one episode, and how the music is jarringly cut off from one scene to the next (but that may very well be becasue I'm watching the series online, rather than on local TV).

A recommended watch!

MCIA is a fantastic show that mainstream Philippine television desperately needs and deserves! The story is based on José Rizal's novel 'Noli Me Tanghere,' a dark and disturbing book about the powerful Catholic church during the Spanish Colonial Era. The plot's execution is effective because of one character: Klay, a 2022 student who time-traveled to the 1880s-but not in reality-inside she's in a book.

They perfectly blended fantasy, drama, comedy, cliche, and new unconventional ideas, so the people who worked on this show deserve all of the credit! The cinematography is impressive, the production design is on point, the costumes are accurate, some VFX scenes could be improved, but they are still good, and the scriptwriters consulted historians.

This series is new and refreshing to Philippines Teleserye. Also a nice way to introduce Jose Rizal's iconic novel, that is a big part why we are enjoying our independence right now. Dialogues are excellent, actors are all amazing, and story telling is nice. But when Klay started to always insist to be part and change the story, it becomes irritating(for me)I know that is their plot twist perhaps, but I wished they went with the actual story as is as it is already a masterpiece. Well, its still a nice 7/10 for me, but the trying hard "modern" Klay Character is annoying and ruined the show for me.
