Young actress Andrea Brillantes has transitioned from a child star to a blossoming actress, growing up in the public eye. Growing up in the limelight, she has constantly been judged, with the public scrutinizing her every move as if they knew her perssonally.
Despite the harsh criticisms and unwarranted opinions, Andrea has displayed calmness. Through ups and downs, she’s become braver, tackling challenges like her twin roles in the primetime series, Senior High. These complex characters – Luna and Sky – mirror her resilience and personal connection to the story.
When asked about whom she relates to more, Andrea responds candidly, stating, “I can relate to both. There were certain phases in my life where I was Luna, and then I became Sky. Before, I was shy and insecure, lacking confidence, just like Luna. I always sought to please others. After that phase, I transformed into someone whole, like Sky – who is brave and resilient.”
“Similar to Sky, I learned to thrive independently, while Luna constantly needed companionship. So, like Sky, I’ve discovered in myself the ability to be comfortable in my own skin and my own company,” she added.
As the hit primetime series nears its highly anticipated finale, promising an emotional “ender to remember,” viewers are in for a riveting revelation of all the dirty secrets, including the identity of Luna’s killer.
With over two billion views on TikTok, the series has captivated audiences, delving into the lives of Northford students and unraveling a mysterious web of intrigue.
In the concluding week, the storyline takes a heart-pounding turn as Obet (Kyle Echarri) discloses the heartbreaking truth about Luna’s death to Sky (Andrea), Luna’s twin sister, during their school’s prom night. Meanwhile, emotional conflicts ensue as Obet and Gino (Juan Karlos), Luna’s former lovers, vie for Sky’s heart. The romantic entanglements extend to other characters, with Archie (Elijah Canlas) pursuing Roxy (Xyriel Manabat), and Tim and Poch (Zaijian Jaranilla and Miggy Jimenez) reconciling their relationship.
Prom night becomes a chaotic backdrop as Z’s (Daniela Stanner) nightmares trigger a mental breakdown while scheming cohorts Harry and William (Baron Geisler and Mon Confiado) confront their own issues when dark secrets are exposed.
The series, commended by netizens for training the spotlight on issues related to mental health, has garnered praise for the impressive acting skills of its young cast. Recently hitting a record high of 179,305 live concurrent views on Kapamilya Online Live, the show has become a phenomenon.
Senior High airs its finale on Jan. 19 at 9:30 p.m. on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, iWantTFC, and Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
