For our first drama review ever, we've chosen ABS-CBN's Princess and I. This is actually pretty interesting in many ways because one, we're not big fans of Filipino dramas, ergo we're kinda treading into unknown (more like murky) waters, two, it's categorized as a historical rom-com which we don't get a lot from local TV, and three, its teasers give off that unique and high-budget feel. We'll see.
Writers
Jay Fernando, Andre Philip Loleng, Ceres Helga Barrios

Synopsis
Princess and I follows the story of a young girl, Mikay
Maghirang/Princess Areeyah (Kathryn Bernardo), the long-lost crown
princess of the fictional Kingdom of Yangdon (based on real world Bhutan) and
daughter of King Anand (Albert Martinez) and Queen
Isabel (Precious Lara Quigaman). As a child, she was brought to Manila
after Ashi Behati (Gretchen Barretto), an influential royal
and wife to the vice-king, attempts to get rid of her and her mother in desire
of the throne for her own son Prince Jao (Enrique Gil).
Growing up as an adopted daughter of a poor family in the Philippines, she
meets Kiko (Khalil Ramos) who becomes her best friend, and Gino (Daniel
Padilla), an arrogant boy from a rich and influential family.
Despite the wealth and power entitled by the throne, the
King is left with an empty space in his heart yet-to-be filled by his long-lost
daughter Princess Areeyah, who will grow up in a challenging life without
knowing who she really is. Princess and I is her journey, her search for her
true identity and possibly finding love along the way.
