Mara Clara was the one of the longest teleserye shown in the Philippines. It started 1992 and ended 1997 which (do a simple math!) means it lasted 5 freaking years! Well that time Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes were still at their teens and TV dramas were supposed to long running and full of emotional roller coaster ride. And the infamous "Black Diary" of Kardo was one of the few things that steal the spotlight in the show. To people who watched this drama, you know what I'm talking about!
Now, ABS CBN wanted to re-introduce Mara Clara to the younger generation. This new version of Mara Clara will star two up coming tween stars Julia Montes as Clara Del Valle and Kathryn Bernardo as Mara Davis. If your familiar with Kapamilya TV shows you can remember them as a member of the Going Bulilit gang just few years back. Yup, you remember correctly, just few years ago these tween stars were just little kids making us laugh but not they are in the midst of being teenage life. OMG! I suddenly felt old!
To be honest I dont know if this generation will be interested in watching a revival of Mara Clara with so many dramas around, aside from the fact that their are many things that this generation are so busy about. I do hope that ABS CBN can find a way to keep the story tight and fresh so younger generation can appreciate the story and drama.
For the meantime, I'm gonna keep my eyes open and will try to watch this with open mind and fresh eyes!
Good luck to Mara Clara!
