The shocking, surprising and unexpected return of Angel Locsin in the
top-rating primetime action fantasy drama series La Luna Sangre has literally
taken over social media by storm pitting alongside other top trending topics such
as the upcoming Bruno Mars concert in Manila next year and others. This twist
that recently shook Philippine television near its core becomes a possible
breaking point of what viewers are expecting from the show.
Viewers and netizens alike may have remembered Locsin's portrayal of
Lia in the earlier parts of the series where she and her husband Mateo (played
by John Lloyd Cruz) were killed by the marked vampire king Sandrino (played by
Richard Gutierrez). Now, Angel made her return in dramatic fashion as the
mysterious political adviser Jhacinta Magsaysay who will assist Sandrino aka
Gilbert Imperial in his presidential campaign. This made many curious about her
involvement in the coming weeks and they should look forward to.
But Angel is not the only one who shocked us all with her return. Many are
taking advantage of social media to praise lead female star Kathryn Bernardo
for her wonderful and emotional performance during some of the scenes where she
was tortured and eventually shot to her falling doom by policemen controlled by
the vampire king. I'm sure some will doubt that Malia will succumb to her own death,
but I can assure that what happens next will shock and surprise you even more.
With everything that is happening recently, all I can say is that La
Luna Sangre is one that should not be underestimated by local pop culture
buffs. With unpredictable and unexpected twists like the ones mentioned, La
Luna Sangre may possible be local television's own Game Of Thrones set in
today's modern world.
