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.

The plot itself is interesting. It's like Midnight at the Pera Palace meets Bridgerton - time travel and period 'dramedy'.

Acting-wise, I only found Chai Fonacier as believable. I get transported to 1884. The worst offenders are Dennis Trillo and Tirso Cruz III. Their poor grasp of how people at the time actually speak shows lack of research and preparation for their roles. As for Barbie Forteza, she has moments that are quite funny and is convincing as a true-blooded Gen Z'er. I truly enjoyed her scenes. With Julie Anne San Jose, I wish she would have enunciated more. At times, I couldn't understand her dialogue. Her singing voice though was amazing.

Production is relatively good given that there's always limited budget for shows coming from the Philippines. I also appreciated them bringing Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo to the small screen, especially for the younger viewers to know more about Rizal's works.

This is a casual watch.

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.

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'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..
