I find Only You dragging and forced. I catch portions of it when I am waiting for Tayong Dalawa. Sure, the actors in it are way better than the ones from the GMA-7 soaps. But then they don’t jive in my opinion. Angel Locsin looks madungis, disheveled most of the time. We are always wondering why no one from the production or her team is telling her that she doesn’t look good with her bangs. Or that Dimples Romana is more put together than her. Even Candy Pangilinan is prettier than her in that soap.

Also, when you are following that soap, you will notice that Dimples is the lead star in it, not Angel or Diether Ocampo or Sam Milby. My sisters and I were laughing about it, actually. And we’re thinking that the title of the soap should be changed to “Ang Pagbibida ni Dimples Romana”. She’s given more in that soap, no doubt about it. While Angel is relegated to the madungis co-star category.

I don’t know if it’s just me but have you noticed how Angel Locsin is being pushed to different big named actors of ABS-CBN? First, it’s Piolo Pascual. Have you seen an episode of Lobo? Corny grabe! Now, it’s Diether Ocampo and Sam Milby via the Koreanovela remake, Only You. The network giant is forcing the viewing public to buy the supposed chemistry between Angel and her leading man/men but it’s just not there. I suggest they find the perfect partner for her first or let her do a teleserye where she need not have a love interest. Masyadong pilit kasi!

But there’s no denying the fact that Angel has come a long way since her Kapuso days. Acting-wise, she’s better now than in her Mulawin days. Even critics are praising her improved acting skills.

And she can’t complain about not being known abroad anymore. Remember her London stint? Nobody knew her then! Now, I just hope she’s ready to get mobbed when she go to places abroad where there’s TFC.
