Thousand Days preems on ABS-CBN

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN airs another tear-jerking love story between a woman who is slowly losing her memory and a pure-hearted man who is brave enough to stand up for her. Beginning today, Korean drama A Promise of a Thousand Days airs on Kapamilya Gold.

Topbilled by Soo Ae and Kim Rae Won, A Promise of a Thousand Days was written by noted Korean drama writer Kim Soo-Hyun. Both Soo Ae and Rae Won also received Top Excellence and Top 10 Star Awards for their portrayals in A Promise of a Thousand Days in the 2011 SBS Drama Awards.

Nico Park (Rae Won) is bound to marry a rich woman just to please his parents. But Nico’s heart truly belongs to his childhood sweetheart, Aaliyah (Soo Ae), who agreed to secretly be with him until his wedding day.

Despite playing with fire, the two are happy in each other’s arms until one day, Aaliyah starts forgetting things and experiences severe headaches. It turns out that she is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, an incurable type of dementia associated with gradual memory loss.

Now, Aaliyah is pressed for time to live her life to the fullest while she can still remember the things she values and the people she loves. Nico, on the other hand, is torn between fulfilling his mother’s wish and staying beside his one true love who will soon remember nothing, including him.

How can these lovers look forward to spending a happy future together when memories of the past are slowly being erased in the mind of Aaliyah? How long can Nico hold on to his love for her?

Jed Madela sings the theme song of A Promise of a Thousand Days titled Dito Lang from his album under Star Records, All Original.
