One of the greatest Filipino series in our generation showcasing the battle for life and freedom of our ancestors during colonization of Imperial Japan. This show open our younger minds of how critical history is in our daily lives. It shaped who we are today. Our culture, our tradition and our character. Hands up to the creators, producers, all staff and actors who make this series move our hearts and feel from deep within how to be a Filipino which is very relevant to these days. Mabuhay Pilipinas kahit ang hirap mong mahalin. This kind of series sometimes reminds me of why I am a Filipino and why we should love the Philippines.
David Licauco (Hiroshi) is a revelation here! I would be expecting for him to win acting awards for this portrayal.
Barbie Forteza (Adelina) has always been superb! Sanya Lopez (Teresita) portrayal of a comfort woman is flawless. No other artist could perform this.
Alden Richards (Eduardo) is amazingly good as well. Dennis Trillo (Yuta) is the villain you will hate forever. The supporting actors, Rochelle Panginiban, and the others are also really great.
Hands down because cinematography is great! Chemistry among actors is also evident. Although I am always on a crying stint every episode, it has always been purposeful. Watch it now!
