Maria Clara at Ibarra

I'm one of those guilty Pinoys who had never clearly understood "Noli" (and "Fili") during HS days. Thanks GMA7 for shedding light on what this novel is all about (despite of obvious twists and turns, which I don't mind at all).

The fusion of the present and the past made this magnificent Obra compelling and effective, needless to say the quality of the production and cinematography, plus the immense characterization of each and every actor were superb.

For now, I am curious to know how far they will go with the story, since I remember "Noli" has an open ending. Anyway, this is World Class..

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.

I even made an account just to post a review. This is the only series that made me want to learn and delve with the Filipino language. Definitely a must watch for those interested in the Filipino culture and history. Both entertaining and educational.

Just a little concerned with its visual effects and Background system. Especially its background music like when in some scenes it will just cut off midway when it jumps to a different scene. Then I became more conscious on it all throughout the series but it will grow on you as well.

Anyway, overall its a pretty interesting and entertaining watch for all audiences. 👍 Kudos to the researchers and production peeps on creating this unique historical drama series!

Maria Clara at Ibarra is a great work of art. Every Filipino must see this movie. It enlightens me on many things. I hope others too. As an educator, I should not waver in educating our youths. I should inspire them to learn and appreciate the bits and pieces of our history . We should be proud of our heritage, our culture, ,our history. Because if we will not, who are we as people? Laud GMA for creating such great project. All the characters are portrayed well by all actors and actresses. I love how the story unfolds from one episode to the next. There should be more creations like this . I am proud being a Filipino.

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.
