ABS-CBN's New Shows for 2014

Recently, ABS-CBN launched teasers for their upcoming shows this 2014 which will first quarter this year - Mirabella and The Legal Wife.

Mirabella stars Julia Barretto in the title role, for her launching soap. Joining her is Enrique Gil and Sam Concepcion as her leading men with Pokwang, John Lapus, Mylene Dizon, Diego Loyzaga, Miss Gloria Diaz and many more. This will be directed by Jerome Chavez Pobocan (of Mara Clara) and Erick Salud (of Aryana) and written by Joel Mercado and Noreen Capili. According to entertainment site Pep.PH, Mira Bella is about a girl who was cursed. We just have to check out the show what curse is that and how did she get it.

Here is the teaser of Mirabella:

The Legal Wife, on the other hand, is a family drama which stars Maja Salvador, Jericho Rosales, new Kapamilya actor JC De Vera and the primetime comeback of Angel Locsin. It also stars Rio Locsin, Mark Gil, Neri Naig, Joem Bascon and Christopher de Leon among others. It is directed by Rory Quintos and Dado Lumibao (both from Princess and I) and written by the team who created Guns and Roses headed by Generiza Reyes. What we have to wait for is why the soap is entitled The Legal Wife and what are its differences from the usual kabit movies and teleseryes we have seen over the years.

Here is the teaser of The Legal Wife:

Both shows were supposed to air last quarter of 2013, with Mirabella replacing Juan Dela Cruz and The Legal Wife replacing Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin (according to some reports), but due to some circumstances, management has decided to air both shows on the first quarter of 2014. Despite the promising teasers with great casting, what we also have to wait for is how both shows will differ from the rest of the shows being aired right now and most especially from the shows aired with almost similar genre and concept. And moreover, how will the mass culture audience accept these shows? Will they do good in the ratings game? We will know the answer once both shows premiere this January.

Anyway, we also have to tune in for ABS-CBN's New Shows such as the remake of the Koreanovela Pure Love, You're My Home (which stars Dawn Zulueta and Richard Gomez), Moon of Desire, and the adaptation of Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel.

As for me, I will watch these shows, how about you guys? :)
