“First Time” Airs tonight on GMA 7!

A young love sets the stage for GMA 7’s newest romantic drama which captures the euphoria, magic, and bittersweet pangs of falling in love for the First Time. Starring Barbie Forteza, Joshua Dionisio and Jhake Vargas, this coming-of-age tale steeped in valuable lessons on friendship, family, life, and love premieres tonight on GMA Telebabad.

Synopsis:

First Time is the story of Cyndi (Barbie) and Lukas (Joshua), teenagers who met one summer at the beach. Their newfound friendship is immediately put to the test after Lukas’ mother dies from a mysterious accident, which resulted in Jaime (Eric Quizon), a famous balladeer and Lukas’ father, decision to live abroad. Cyndi and Lukas, albeit unwillingly, said their goodbyes.

Two years later, Lukas returns to the Philippines and enrolls in the same school as Cyndi’s. For a while, they try to rekindle their friendship only for Cyndi to find out that the Lukas from that memorable summer is no longer there. Lukas, once a cheerful and fun-loving boy, has grown to become so quiet, and detached from everyone including Cyndi.

In the long run, with the help of Cyndi and her best friend Baste (Jhake), Lukas will come to terms with tragedies in his life. All three of them become inseparable — even Lukas and Baste, who have little in common besides sharing a love for Cyndi — spending most of their time at Baste’s, whose lowly family finds happiness in music.

But their friendship will face another challenge when a deep and dark secret buried beneath the past unfolds, one that will question their real identities. Could they have something more in common than they imagined? How will this bitter conflict affect their homes, their lives, and their young hearts?

Also in the cast  are former StarStruck Kids avenger Bea Binene as Natalie, the school’s liberated Queen Bee; Jhoana Marie Tan as Sara, the over-achieving teacher’s pet; Mark Castillo as Daniel, the homophobic school jock; and Lucho Ayala as Jimbo, the domineering campus heartthrob.

Equally important are the roles of the more experienced actors and actresses in the cast including Eric Quizon, Ian Veneracion, Manilyn Reynes, Romnick Sarmienta, Ana Capri, Bayani Agbayani, Cris Vallenueva, Angel Jacob and Sheila Marie Rodriguez who will play mother/father roles in the story, while Alicia Mayer, Joross Gamboa, Michelle Madrigal, Roxanne Barcelo, Ricci Chan and Mel Kimura portray teachers.

Directed by Andoy Ranay and written by Kit Langit, First Time takes on issues teenagers face today. It provides an open and honest exploration of what really goes on within and beyond the four walls of the classroom, and treats such issues with openness, honesty and depth.

First Time airs before 24 Oras.
