P.S. I Love You returns as TV5 primetime series

MANILA, Philippines - The love story that endeared movie fans in the ’80s returns not on the silver screen but on TV. The TV remake of P.S. I Love You, the movie which then featured the young and rising Gabby Concepcion-Sharon love team, premieres on TV5 come Nov. 21.

TV5’s P.S. I Love You is a sequel to the original ’80s movie. Mark (Gabby Concepcion) and Kristine (now portrayed by Dina Bonnevie) didn’t have a happy ending to their love story after all, and they now live separate lives with families of their own. What they thought was their greatest love didn’t turn out the way they wanted it. But as fate would have it, their paths cross again and the memories they wish to bury resurface.

The dramaserye takes off from Mark and Kristine’s supposed wedding day, where the latter doesn’t show up. Mark finds out later that Kristine accepted the marriage proposal of a wealthy businessman.

Mark tries to move on from his sad fate and works his way up to become a billionaire investment banker. Kristine, on the other hand, is happily married with two kids, but her picture-perfect life crumbles upon the death of her husband.

As their businesses dwindle and their family stands on the brink of bankruptcy, Kristine’s daughter Andrea (Alex Gonzaga) steps up to save their remaining livelihood. Despite the tremendous responsibility she has to bear for her family, she derives motivation and inspiration from Jason (Kean Cipriano), a struggling musician who loves her with all his heart.

Upon the advice of their relatives, Andrea decides to sell their company to an investor who would be interested in resuscitating the business. Unknown to Andrea, the man interested in buying their company is Mark, her mother’s old flame and one great love.

This starts another chapter in the lives of Mark and Kristine. As love blossoms between their children  Mark’s son Paul (AJ Muhlach) and Kristine’s other daughter Candice (Nadine Lustre)  they move heaven and earth to keep them apart. However, Paul and Candice struggle to fight for the love despite all odds.
