Practically a girl with an unholy belief with the superstitious tries to find her lucky one with the help of a local fortune teller. Unknowingly, one of his suitors is in cahoots with the same fortune teller and tries to shift his luck to her heart but things goes array before they could actually fall in love.
I really wanted to like it but its just too unpolished.
A very inconsistent direction from Bernal. Awkward Framing. Inconsistent vision, and a particularly weak script. Its style really read as a Vice Ganda films. It has its good moments but it feels insanely contrived. It tries too hard with its romance part, that it comes off as grating. To add more damage, the script cannot, for the love of god, modulate extreme cheesiness and dramatics of the film. It just feel far too forced and convenient at points. Its kinda sad that there's a great concept within this film BUT Bernal's visions is too amateurish and too inconsistent.
Personally, Jolina Magdangal at Martin Agustin really held this picture together. You could see why this stars were famous. They just have "IT", and you cannot look away when their on the screen and both are able to do both Cutesy and Dramatic when needed. I wished that they had a better material though.
Weirdly enough, this is a particular that I never really saw on Free TV. My guess is that Jolina was on an unofficial blacklist after she left ABS. This is literally what ABS loves to show on their empty timeslots.
Not recommended.
