February 24, 2016 (QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES) – Will two people’s love and commitment endure the struggles that drove them apart in order for them to love each other again?
Find out how far a person will go in the name of love and sacrifice in ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel’s (TFC) newest drama series “The Story of Us,” which features the much-awaited and highly anticipated comeback of Kim Chiu and Xian Lim – one of today’s biggest love teams on television, premiering worldwide on February 29, Monday (March 1, Tuesday Australian Daylight Savings Time or AEDT, New Zealand Daylight Savings Time or NZDT, and Guam time).
According to Xian, who expressed how he misses working with Kim, “These are more mature roles for me and Kim. It revolves around their love story and how they will keep their love despite having different priorities in their lives.”
Kim added, “It’s not a normal story that starts out with us not getting along like cats and dogs. We already love each other from the start.”
This year also marks Kim’s tenth anniversary in showbiz, even made more special by her return to television. “I’m so excited because I took a break from TV for a year, so this feels new to me again. It’s also my first time to shoot a teleserye outside of the Philippines,” she said.
Since Kim and Xian’s tandem was introduced in “My Binondo Girl,” they have become one of the most sought-after love teams in the series “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” and movies “Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo?” “Past Tense,” and “Bride for Rent,” one of the highest-grossing Filipino films of all time. KimXi also starred in “Must Date the Playboy,” the first-ever film made by ABS-CBNmobile’s StarFlix exclusively for mobile devices in the Philippines.
“Thanks to everyone who continue to support us and those who stuck with us. I give all of myself and my soul to all of my projects, especially here in ‘The Story of Us,’” said Xian.
In “The Story of Us,” Tin (Kim) and Macoy (Xian) are childhood best friends-turned-lovers who grow up together in El Nido, Palawan (Luzon, Philippines) and dream of a better life for them and their family.
With all the changes that happened to them as individuals, will they still be able to find a second chance at love? Will their love for each other survive despite life changing them?
“The Story of Us,” which will be subtitled in English for non-Filipino speaking viewers, will be helmed by acclaimed director Richard Somes. Completing the powerhouse cast of “The Story of Us” are some of the most respected actors in the country – Aiko Melendez, Gardo Versoza, Susan Africa, and Zsa Zsa Padilla. Joining them are Bryan Santos, Mara Lopez, Alyanna Angeles as the young Tin, and Zaijian Jaranilla as the young Macoy.
