It is not surprising if the good-looking Juancho Triviño would finally move on to becoming a leading man in a drama series on GMA 7.
Beginning today, in the intriguing story of Magkaibang Mundo in GMA Afternoon Prime, Triviño plays Elfino, and as his name suggests, he is a dwarf.
In fact, this series revolves around the unique friendship between a human and a dwarf. Will this friendship blossom into a strong and everlasting love?
We will find out.
Louise Delos Reyes plays Princess, the heiress of a couple in a shoe business. The sad story is that Princess is orphaned at a young age. She lives a miserable life now with her wicked aunt and step cousins. Then she falls in love with Jeffrey, but she also has special feelings for Elfino, her dwarf friend since she was a little girl.
Bagging this role is a dream come true for Louise. According to her, it has always been her hope to portray a character similar to Cinderella. “From being a princess, she becomes a slave. Dream role ko ito eh. Actually excited ako kay Princess. Kasi very close siya sa akin dahil daddy’s girl din ako. Nakaka-relate ako sa kanya,” she said.
Elfino, at young age, meets Princess. They become friends. He admires her for having a complete family. When Princess’ father died, Elfino becomes her confidant.
Juancho Triviño says he became very excited when he learned that he would be paired with Louise for this project. This is their first team up together and he hopes that viewers would appreciate and support their love team.
“Nang pumasok ako sa industriya, tinitingnan ko rin siyempre ‘yung mga posible kong maka-partner, at isa na si Louise doon. Sa chemistry part, siguro dahil matagal na kaming magkakilala and comfortable na kami sa isa’t isa kaya nakikitaan na kami ng kilig. I’m very happy to be working with her,” he said.
Joining Louise and Juancho are Assunta de Rossi as Amanda, Princess’ mother who will be separated from her; Dion Ignacio as Jeffrey, Elfino’s rival for Princess’ heart; Rez Cortez as Jojo, Noreen’s docile husband; and Gina Alajar as Noreen, the greedy step-sister of Princess’ father.
Magkaibang Mundo also features award-winning Kapuso actor Gabby Eigenmann in a special role as Ruben, Princess’ father who loves his family dearly.
Adding star power to this Afternoon Prime series are Maricar de Mesa as Criselda, Jeffrey’s haughty mother; Isabelle de Leon as Sofie, Noreen’s greedy eldest daughter; Mike “Pekto” Nacua as Bombi, Elfino’s energetic friend who accompanies him in his adventures; Liezl Lopez as Analyn, Noreen’s youngest daughter; Marika Sasaki as Maffi, Princess’ best friend; introducing international dancing sensation Balang as Dino, the witty dwarf friend of Elfino and Bombi.
Find out how Princess and Elfino will surpass their challenges to an everlasting love. Will Elfino be able to spend the rest of his life with Princess as a human? Will Princess be able to finally fight for Elfino?
