Maria Clara at Ibarra's concept of a GenZ going back time reminds me of both Splash Splash Love and Scarlet Heart Ryeo... I love both Korean dramas but as a Filipino, I'm inclined to love MC&I more. I am also proud that PH dramas is finally making a mark in international scene.
La verdad que este drama filipino está interesante y más ahorita los episodios está muy interesantes yo lo estoy viendo pero sin sub español y pesar que no tiene sub el mi idioma me lo estoy viendo y la emoción es la misma . Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Amaya is another high level well played drama also its the prehistoric era of the Philippines you can watch that too super nice and bring back the real essence of Filipino Culture. It is a fantasy drama series💗💗💗
You will only understand the series if you dig deeply the essence of its ideas and history. There's more to Noli than comparing it to other series in Korea.
That’s true but I also think that there are always similarities between cultures/countries not only the Philippines and Korea it’s just that sometimes these are what we have on some of the media/social media right now. For sure there are similarities (and differences) w/n SEA (how we are colonized), b/n Asia, and other groups/subgroups or between British/Spanish/American/colonies. I wish that it was brought up even just a passing remark (that there’s really these similarities and differences) and to not just solely compare it to Korea. But of course, her content is focused on Filipino and Korean so. For example, Vietnam’s a French colony, they have French Baguette (localized ofcourse - Banmi if I’m not mistaken) and probably before they would switch languages too from French to Vietnamese.
that may be true if you want to dig deeper to the story but nationality is not a requirement to be able to emphasize with the story and characters of a show, may it a filipino watching kdrama or korean watching a filipino show. for me she meets the standard as, someone who understand and speak filipino and who lived in philippines as well and dude read the book! she's even more filipino than filipinos out there who values other cultures than their own. Also she cant help comparing it to a kdrama since she's korean as well, dont wanna say the r word but your pretty r lol
You havr a point naman but I think there's nothing wrong with the way she compares it with kdrama, it's not that she's nitpicking MCI but she's just saying that what happened in Noli is relative to the situation of Korea during the same decade and so she finds it very relating to Korean if they would watch it so, that's my take so for me there's nothing wrong with what she said about it at all.
Wow ayan na naman tayo sa gatekeeping. Hindi naman nya kinumpara yun nmt sa kdramas, ang ikinumpara nya, yun mci. For all we know, baka nga nakuha pa nila yun ideas sa mga kdrama and jdrama na ganito ang tema. Also, nasakop rin ng iba ibang bansa ang Korea kaya may similarities pa rin.
I think GMA and other Media Industries should produce more historical dramas so that every Filipino remembers how our national heroes fought for the Philippines' independence. I am hoping that Noli Me Tangere is the first step of it and that they'll continue to produce high-quality shows in the future.
Noli and El Fili are indeed a must-read books. I remember how I ignored these novels way back my high school days. Thanks to Binibining Mia's stories and Bb. Mia herself for intoducing me how important and interesting our history is. For now, I am currently waiting for the next episode of MCAI, you must also try to watch other hisorical dramas like Ilustrado, Goyo, Amaya, Heneral Luna and many more😊
Hala sameeee, got introduced to her works sa ILYS1892 then lahat na ng works nya binasa ko. Talagang mas na hooked ako sa history dahil sa mga stories nya.
@@bil_20 I love you since 1892 talaga yung nagdala eh. That's my first read also sa novels niya and got interested in history hanggang sa binasa ko na lahat ng gawa niya... and look at me now, never in life I imagine myself na sobrang adik sa history🤧
Local networks should adapt the western format of releasing a series limited to seasons that has like 10 or so episodes each then take a break in production between seasons. That way, quality will have a significant upgrade because it'll have more time for post-production unlike daily series that overstretches its story.
Yes but local networks are greedy, they prioritise on releasing many episodes just to attach as many sponsorships. So it always ends up being quantity > quality. Local networks mindset is its easy to make lots of episodes if the quality is shit, because at the end they get easy money. That's why Filipino dramas are terrible in production. Also most Filipinos are unfortunately easily contented with simple things, making producers complacent, which results in low quality products. If people weren't so easily contented, then people would strive for much better results, and the Philippines in general would be developing much better in any area.
GMA slowly adapting it. All their series are now 3-6 months. Maria Clara at Ibarra will run for only 5 months. I hope they just finish Noli as season one then take a break then come back in season 2 for El fili continuation
@@mangotar0 hindi rin kasi feasible sa Pinas yung ganun kasi ang pagkaka-alam ko, hindi sila katulad ng mga broadcasting companies sa ibang bansa. eh halos sa Pinas ka lang nakakita na broadcasting network siya rin ang producer ng show at talent management ng mga artista. unlike sa US na more on airtime placement ang mga channels nila, which they can afford kasi malaki ang viewership sa US. kaya ayun, walang network wars and celebs always get the change to work with other celebs, hindi yung sila-sila lang din. not sure kung ganun din sa japan and korea. pero one thing is for sure naman is they also get to work with other celebs unlike satin na more on pag kapamilya, kapamilya lang.
I prefer Asian drama set ups like Korea, Japan, china and Thai drama format. They finish shooting and editing all the episodes first before they release the drama
Wow Jessica you're such an inspiration! I Korean that Love's the Philippines Culture that much.. I'm a Filipino here in Rome and studied the Roman empire History but I haven't yet read Noli .. as you did... I must make an effort to start reading the Philippine history from now on... Auguri!!!
Maganda po talaga ang show na yan Miss Jessica. Sana po ay masubaybayan pa rin ninyo ang programa kahit na walang English Subtitles at maappreciate po ninyo kung gaano kaganda at kabuluhan ang history ng Pilipinas. Napanood ko rin po yung Mr. Sunshine. It's one of my favorite historical drama and I literally cried on the last episodes. Being a historical nerd, highly recommended po ito at marami kayong matutunan sa ating bansang Pilipinas. Also, you can learn a lot of "deep tagalog words" that even myself never heard of it. Sana po ay panuorin pa rin ninyo 😊😊😊
wait until you watch all the episodes. You will be like us shipping the Klay- Fidel tandem. A couple that is really a match made in heaven. You will fall in love with them. You will become a Filay fan.
It's so good!! Sana more Filipinos will watch it! And the political lines din, sobrang applicable sa time ngayon re oppression, abuses, and social inequalities. Masterpiece! Sana we can all learn from this show
I love this series so much because everyone's role is not bias like only popular actresses can get beautiful lines and action. All of them shines, even the extra character's just gives it all. I love this so much and appreciate the production.
When I first watched MC&I it reminded me of KDramas actually. This concept is so KoreanStyle. Regardless, this is the first GMA Drama series that I’m so looking forward every night. Even the whole fam. This is just something.
I admire you Jessica for valuing Filipino values and one of the great works of our national hero Jose Rizal. I will be releasing my song composition about Maria Clara and I share it here. For me you are a Korean Maria Clara with a Filipino heart. Anyeong ha sayo.
For sure dahil sa kasitan na natatamo nya ngayon! Hindi tinipid ang dramang ito, well produced, well written & well made Kaya sobrang deserved ilagay sa netflix!. 💖
Hi mam lee I'm your number 1 fan of your... Nawiwili ako sa pagiging pusong pilipina mo.. sad lang ako dahil sa tagal mo sa pilipinas hindi ka rin bihasa sa ating wika sa pilipinas... I hope someday matatas ka ring managalog.... Pareho lang tayo'y anak ng ibang lahi... Ikay tubong koreana ako pinay na tausog ang ina... Miztisong tsino ang tatay... Tausog or joloano ang kinamulatang wika dahil sa jolo sulu ang aming tunay na bayan. Pareho tayong nangangapa pa sa mga deep word ng tagalog.😁😁😁love mam lee
Not a fan of any GMA shows, but when i watched it i got hooked. And the first thing that came to my mind was i hope you do a reaction video about this series, and now?! i'm so glad you did HAHA
quick fact, I think you got confused as to why Padre Damaso referred their country as "Las Filipinas" instead of only "Filipinas" or "Pilipinas" it is because originally, when Philippines was discovered by King Philip II of Spain he named it as "Las Islas Filipinas" or in tagalog "the Philippine Isles" which in their current timeline is was shortened as "the Philippines" or "Las Filipinas"
As a filipino who loves sageuk drama so much, I’m glad to know a korean likes this and even compared it to Mr Sunshine knowing it’s a very expensive production like it really looks like they’ve brought you to their time 🥹 Hope they make another drama like this cos it’s rare in Philippines television… ps i love Splash splash love 🥹🥹🥹
Maria Clara at Ibarra English fan subs is at Bilibili uploaded by the TinolaSubbingTeam. Also this will be released in Netflix this year. That has been confirmed since last year. Spread the word!!!
I seriously think that Ms.Lia should start considering to start her own youtube channel because shes entertaining and fun to watch . And btw. This is my own personal opinion i just think that its wonderful to see her perspective and own creativity in some terms . And i like seeing you two . I love watching you both . Godbless :)
Yes i also watched Splash Splash Love and it's amazing also the way how subjects in school has biggest used in past and present as well as the Maria Clara at Ibarra taught lessons
I won't be surprised if they receive a lot of praise because it's beautiful; after all, gen z is currently hooked on foreign cinematography, so they're looking for beautiful things. I hope this marks the start of the Philippines' transition away from poor teleseryes back then. This is motivating for anyone, not just aspiring filmmakers. Im not a fan of GMA but i applaud them for making these kind of teleseryes and the fact that they also adapt to today's trends, they captured our attentions😌 nice strat tho
There's an 8-hour (8!!) movie called "Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis" (A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery), where it follows the characters of noli and el fili after the events of the book. They have a special showing here in UA-cam sometimes, particularly around August (national heroes day) or near rizal's death anniversary. It's an interesting film, but I couldn't watch it all in one sitting. XD It also premiered in a movie theater a few years back. Imagine watching it in theathers for 8 hours. @_@
I love books and novels..and now i wanna buy noli and el fili..as a filipino i only see those 2 books as a subject we took in high school..I'm impressed that noli has korean ver!
Honestly, seeing ibarra it really reminds me of Mr. Sunshine as well, and of course, my mentality was oh another kdrama copy of the philippines, but to be honest with you guys its actually very unique on its own way
There is a twist in this version of Noli in that Klay (pronounced the way you say Sky) enters the novel Noli initially as an observer to how the novel should transpire as punishment by her teacher for plagiarizing her report on the Novel. In the make believe world of Noli, she becomes involved in its twists and turns. She even helps the main characters Ibarra and Maria Clara (portrayed by another talented actress Julie Ann San Jose). Klay herself becomes the love interest of another fictional Noli character Fidel. Both Klay and Fidel gives the tragic novel its light moments. I really admire you for you very intelligent yet entertaining vlogs on Filipino life. Thank you Jessica.
You're right it is not the First historic genre series there's amaya, indio and illustrado from the same network although idk where or what platform to recommend for you to be able to watch those 🤣
the series is reall interesting. It sticks to the source material. I just have to comment on Klay's characters as there are moments where her reactions are kinda profound and out of place for me. That's just me though. By watching this series I also learned some deep tagalog. Totoong nakakamangha ang paglikha ng isang palabas na ito. Maraming nahumaling at tumutok kaya naman ay patuloy ang pagsubaybay ng mga manonood dito. The novel is really good if kids nowadays will just take time to read and understand it. Great insights Jessica !
Indeed, Maria Clara and Ibarra is a must watch drama. I've seen a clip of it on FB, and I was so curious, from then I am always looking forward to watch the new episode. Fidel and Klay, sooo kilig.
I rarely watch local TV shows but I admit, this series has caught my attention. This series also reminded me of a late 90s Japanese anime which my high school classmates loved during the 90s (I forgot the title). Loved Jose Rizal's books but envious of him because he had 11 girlfriends and only had 3 short-lived ones lol. Anyways, keep being amazing, Jessica-chan! ✨☺
It's my first time to visit your channel ms. Jessica and thank you for the info of Korean history re: women treatment. Great reactions and thank you for appreciating the series and pls react the whole episode if you may. 😊🙏
I am actually not a GMA fan but I am honestly happy that they are making a historical project as I am so hooked to historical k-series in the whole 2022 yahaha. I have this thought na sana mag invest pa yong mga producers sa ganitong pang-entertainment kc honestly nawawala na yong interest ng mga kabataan sa kwento at kultura ng nakaraan.
"Noli Me Tangere" is a novel by the Philippine national hero, Jose Rizal. The characters in the novel do not necessarily symbolize specific individuals but, rather, represent larger societal forces, classes, and issues. Here are some of the key characters in the novel and their corresponding representations: 1. Crisostomo Ibarra - Represents the Filipino educated class that emerged during the Spanish colonial period. 2. Elias - Represents the Filipino masses and their struggles against colonial oppression. (Ibarra/Elias duality represents two dominant thoughts and approaches on how to achieve lasting peace) 3. Padre Damaso - Represents the corrupt Spanish friars and clergy who abused their power and oppressed the Filipino people. 4. Maria Clara - Represents the idealized Filipino woman who embodies virtuousness, innocence, and beauty while also being trapped in a society that oppresses her. 5. Sisa - Represents the poor and suffering Filipino mother who embodies the pain and suffering of the Filipino people under colonial oppression. 6. Elías' brother - Represents the Filipino revolutionaries who struggled against Spanish colonial rule. 7. Consolacion and Victorina - they both symbolize the Filipinos who aspire to be like the Spanish colonizers. Victorina de los Reyes de Espadaña, the ambitious and pretentious wife of the town's deputy mayor, symbolizes the Filipinos who are desperate to assimilate and be fully accepted by the Spaniards. She constantly tries to improve her social status by adopting the Spanish customs and lifestyle, even at the expense of her own culture and morality. On the other hand, Consolacion, a former upper-class woman who has fallen on hard times, symbolizes the Filipinos who were once part of the privileged and elite Spanish-influenced society but have now lost their status. She serves as a reminder that the Spanish-influenced social structure of the Philippines is not a natural order and that, like her, others can easily fall from grace. Together, Consolacion and Victorina reflect the novel's critique of the misguided desires and aspirations of Filipinos who blindly follow the Spanish colonizers, resulting in the erosion of their own culture and identity. They represent the dangers of internalized oppression, colonial mentality, and assimilation. 8. Pil Tasyo - symbolizes the intellectual and enlightened Filipino who recognizes the need for change and reform in Philippine society. He is a well-educated, wealthy man who is disillusioned with the injustices and corruption he sees in the Philippines under Spanish colonial rule. Tasyo is a character who continually expresses his thoughts on various subjects, including politics, religion, and the arts. He is often marginalized by other characters in the novel, who view him as eccentric and crazy because of his nonconformity to social customs and norms. He is. a representation of an intellectual who recognizes the need for reform reflects Rizal's own views on the importance of education and critical thinking in the pursuit of social progress and national identity. His character also serves as a critique of the lack of intellectual freedom and institutionalized oppression of critical thought during the Spanish colonial period. 10. Kap Tiago - symbolizes the Filipino elite who, despite their wealth, connections, network and power, are still under the control of their colonial masters, the Spanish, and subject to their whims and caprice. He represents the wealthy Filipinos who benefit from the Spanish colonial system and who, like him, use their wealth to gain favor and influence in government. Through the character of Kapitan Tiago, Rizal highlights the limits of the Filipino upper class in challenging the Spanish colonial system, since they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. He represents the ambivalence of the Filipino elite toward the nationalist cause and their complicity in perpetuating the oppressive system. Note that while these characters symbolize certain societal forces or issues, they are also complex and multidimensional, with their own personal struggles, motivations, and histories.
Huge fan of Maria Clara at Ibarra show,it ranks on Top ratings,this week is the transition From Noli Metangere to its sequel El Filibusterismo,,Very grateful that other races embrace it too🤗💚💚
I suspect a lot of the series was shot in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan. It would actually be a good idea that you shoot a vlog there Jessica. it's a resort town where the owner transported old colonial era houses and restored them and made a whole mini town resort out of it.
Actually it was shot in Vigan, parts of Intramuros and in multiple places across Illocos Norte. I looked it up it seems they haven't done any scenes in Bataan...yet. Maybe they will for next season dealing with El Filibusterimo
I watched Mr. Sunshine too (3x) and yes watching this drama reminds me of Mr. Sunshine. The revolution and the cry for freedom and the presentation of the old days.
Rizal is one of my subject way back in a college days , so please Jessica i hope not just you who will love it but all around the world 😍🌸 specially those "barrier language", That rizal wrote.
With the sea of extremely cliché Telenovelas nowadays, this was highly refreshing. For me, personally, a sign that a show was good and entertaining is when me and my father discussing things about the story and "what if's" that are missing in almost, if not, all Telenovelas nowadays. One point I'd like to make as well was aside from the story itself, it's storytelling reminds me so much of a not so popular anime titled Gintama. One good trait I personally liked about these two is how the story doesn't just revolve around it's protagonist/s. They also delve deeper into the other characters, literally everyone has some sort of introduction, making the viewers have options on the characters they could like or relate to aside from the protagonist/s. And this is coming from a modern audience who mostly watch anime. All I'm saying is I love this show. Some additions and twists can be quite annoying (for me, at least), but it's pretty good overall. Definitely something like Gintama for me, a.k.a something I would recommend to someone without the slightest bit of hesitation. 😊
You must watch it full ep and im sure you will love it , you will feel every emotion on it, first episode you will feel curious like klay and the rest you will feel mix emotion love, kilig, happy, proud, pain , pitty, broken and you will feel excited for the next episode like us😊😍
just in the 80 s Korean women when I went to Korea w my sister Koreans were so shocked that my sister was an engineer and heads the department . She was even told at that time that in Korea women are suppose to stay in the house as home makers .. this was late 80 s .. so much has changed in Korea
Sorry but this is the very first time seeing a Korean begging for an English sub for a Philippine drama. It somehow made me proud 😌 (edited: Someone said there's Eng sub in bilibili. With Tinola Subbing Team. Lol the name) I hope to see more of this kind of show in Philippines because tbh this is the reason why I don't watch tv. There's no worthy plots, only a story revolving about broken family or a mistress. It's quite predictable too. And people still wonder why Filipinos love kdramas! Good thing they pulled a masterpiece with this! I can say they are slowly trying to evolve their production and stepping up on their game to improve the storyline. I hope this will be a start of many good and worthy dramas here.
Hope you can take the time to watch it, so you can relate to what we are experiencing right now hehe and it's informative. You will love this it's worth your time and MCI is always top trend on Twitter💗
Back then about 1997 when I was in high school, both Noli and Fili are my faves. I always imagine the storyline and the characters even if I didn't watch their theater and drama adaptations on TV. Seems my fingers are kinda wet on most of the pages as I always turn on the favorite chapters. Sorry for that.😅 But hey, this historical drama series is very interesting and it relives my geeky childhood, especially when Klay roams and makes some messes around the drama plus her vocabulary that confuses everybody 🤣, and then new character Fidel always teases her till they became more than friends. 😂 Can't wait to finish this before the much more anticipated Voltes V Legacy will replace them, which is also my favorite to binge-watch sooner. Hope you'll do, too. P.S. Also, you'll wonder why "sunny side up-headed" Padre Salvi and friends is always making waves on the current world like Dora. Check them out. 🤣🤣🤣
Padre Damaso and Sisa characters pinaka favorite ko hehe I just miss my high school days grabe medyo nakocornyhan lang ako sa character ni Klay but the entire show is really good. pang theater ang tv show na ito actually.
I love how you take this knowing that ypu haven't watch the series yet you could say how good it is, and to everyone, I think there's nothing wrong with the way she compares it with kdrama, it's not that she's nitpicking MCI but she's just saying that what happened in Noli is relative to the situation of Korea during the same decade and so she finds it very relating to Korean if they would watch it so, that's my take so for me there's nothing wrong with what she said about it at all. I said that because I saw some comments here that's kinda OA when they only noticed how she compares it to kdrama but I also do get the point but finished the video first.
Oh wow!!! I'm waiting on how you will react on this drama. You should watch it, lagi ko 'tong ina-abangan every night. SOBRANG WORTH IT. I remember Scarlet Heart Ryeo kdrama, that is somehow related to Maria Clara at Ibarra.
The girl of the name who was in Padre Damaso's scene, the one one you said her acting was good is Chai Fonacier. She also stars in an English film entitled Nocebo. It just recently came out.
The Last telederye I watches is The Killer Bride then after that I did not watch any I more in kdrama but Maria Clara at Ibarra made watched pinoy ts again..
Maria Clara at Ibarra's concept of a GenZ going back time reminds me of both Splash Splash Love and Scarlet Heart Ryeo... I love both Korean dramas but as a Filipino, I'm inclined to love MC&I more. I am also proud that PH dramas is finally making a mark in international scene.

I think the similarities are because the mentioned K drama is also based on the invader's era... aside from that, it's totally different
I think GMA and other Media Industries should produce more historical dramas so that every Filipino remembers how our national heroes fought for the Philippines' independence. I am hoping that Noli Me Tangere is the first step of it and that they'll continue to produce high-quality shows in the future.
Gma definitely tried to offer these kind of shows like Amaya, illustrators and more
It will get boring fast
I was hoping something about the Philippines during WWII and they can create characters or include the significant figures that time.

I think they're going to release it on Netflix soon. I hope so.
For sure dahil sa kasitan na natatamo nya ngayon! Hindi tinipid ang dramang ito, well produced, well written & well made Kaya sobrang deserved ilagay sa netflix!. 💖
I love Maria Clara at Ibarra. Great show.
Jessica I recommend you to go in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan if you want go back in Spanish Era, it is such a wonderful place.
Funny that most of the popular Pinoy vloggers seldom do videos like this. Kudos to Jessica for such an informative video!
Hi mam lee I'm your number 1 fan of your... Nawiwili ako sa pagiging pusong pilipina mo.. sad lang ako dahil sa tagal mo sa pilipinas hindi ka rin bihasa sa ating wika sa pilipinas... I hope someday matatas ka ring managalog.... Pareho lang tayo'y anak ng ibang lahi... Ikay tubong koreana ako pinay na tausog ang ina... Miztisong tsino ang tatay... Tausog or joloano ang kinamulatang wika dahil sa jolo sulu ang aming tunay na bayan. Pareho tayong nangangapa pa sa mga deep word ng tagalog.😁😁😁love mam lee

gusto nyo makaproduce ng ganyang klaseng drama ang pinas, tapos ipropromote nyo sa site na pirata na hnd nila pinagkakikitaan.
Not a fan of any GMA shows, but when i watched it i got hooked. And the first thing that came to my mind was i hope you do a reaction video about this series, and now?! i'm so glad you did HAHA
Samedt. We love that they level up the production even my little sisters got hooked.
Agree.
quick fact, I think you got confused as to why Padre Damaso referred their country as "Las Filipinas" instead of only "Filipinas" or "Pilipinas" it is because originally, when Philippines was discovered by King Philip II of Spain he named it as "Las Islas Filipinas" or in tagalog "the Philippine Isles" which in their current timeline is was shortened as "the Philippines" or "Las Filipinas"
Ang ganda talaga ni lodi😍😍😍
As a filipino who loves sageuk drama so much, I’m glad to know a korean likes this and even compared it to Mr Sunshine knowing it’s a very expensive production like it really looks like they’ve brought you to their time 🥹 Hope they make another drama like this cos it’s rare in Philippines television… ps i love Splash splash love 🥹🥹🥹
Maria Clara at Ibarra will be on Netflix soon! You can binge watch there when its finally out 😁
MCAI is already on netflix right? Netflix already bought the show's rights that is why they removed the full episodes and livestreams on youtube.
@@itsazier not now i think they wait to release the full ep of mci
@@itsazier mci is still posted on yt but you can only watch it on gma network website or their app. but its not yet on netflix
Maria Clara at Ibarra English fan subs is at Bilibili uploaded by the TinolaSubbingTeam. Also this will be released in Netflix this year. That has been confirmed since last year. Spread the word!!!
I seriously think that Ms.Lia should start considering to start her own youtube channel because shes entertaining and fun to watch . And btw. This is my own personal opinion i just think that its wonderful to see her perspective and own creativity in some terms . And i like seeing you two . I love watching you both . Godbless :)
Yes i also watched Splash Splash Love and it's amazing also the way how subjects in school has biggest used in past and present as well as the Maria Clara at Ibarra taught lessons
I won't be surprised if they receive a lot of praise because it's beautiful; after all, gen z is currently hooked on foreign cinematography, so they're looking for beautiful things. I hope this marks the start of the Philippines' transition away from poor teleseryes back then. This is motivating for anyone, not just aspiring filmmakers.
Im not a fan of GMA but i applaud them for making these kind of teleseryes and the fact that they also adapt to today's trends, they captured our attentions😌 nice strat tho
nakakarelaks manood at makinig to Jessica's sitdown talking vlog ,always interesting and we also learn something from your content.. 💕💖💕
There's an 8-hour (8!!) movie called "Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis" (A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery), where it follows the characters of noli and el fili after the events of the book.
They have a special showing here in UA-cam sometimes, particularly around August (national heroes day) or near rizal's death anniversary. It's an interesting film, but I couldn't watch it all in one sitting. XD
It also premiered in a movie theater a few years back. Imagine watching it in theathers for 8 hours. @_@
Jessica lee ❤️💪🏻🇵🇭
Keep safe
Thank u ms jessica for showing love for our culture ❤️😍
I love books and novels..and now i wanna buy noli and el fili..as a filipino i only see those 2 books as a subject we took in high school..I'm impressed that noli has korean ver!
2:46 MCI also reminds me of that kdrama! (splash splash love)
Damn your super CUTE Jessica Lee 😍😊❤️💕
Its PERFECT series i watch WHOLE series and 53 EPS chake it out its so good tho and FILAY FOREVER❤❤
Ganda nya 😍😍😍😍🔥
Honestly, seeing ibarra it really reminds me of Mr. Sunshine as well, and of course, my mentality was oh another kdrama copy of the philippines, but to be honest with you guys its actually very unique on its own way
There is a twist in this version of Noli in that Klay (pronounced the way you say Sky) enters the novel Noli initially as an observer to how the novel should transpire as punishment by her teacher for plagiarizing her report on the Novel.
In the make believe world of Noli, she becomes involved in its twists and turns. She even helps the main characters Ibarra and Maria Clara (portrayed by another talented actress Julie Ann San Jose). Klay herself becomes the love interest of another fictional Noli character Fidel. Both Klay and Fidel gives the tragic novel its light moments.
I really admire you for you very intelligent yet entertaining vlogs on Filipino life. Thank you Jessica.
Thank you Jessica Lee you're pretty 😍,maria Clara and ibarra 🥰🥰🥰
Maria Clara at ibarra 🥰🥰🥰🥰
GMA app full episodes 🥰
Sobrang ganda kasi talaga ng series nayan. ❣️
You're right it is not the First historic genre series there's amaya, indio and illustrado from the same network although idk where or what platform to recommend for you to be able to watch those 🤣
Illustrado is here on UA-cam but no English subs.
the series is reall interesting. It sticks to the source material. I just have to comment on Klay's characters as there are moments where her reactions are kinda profound and out of place for me. That's just me though.
By watching this series I also learned some deep tagalog. Totoong nakakamangha ang paglikha ng isang palabas na ito. Maraming nahumaling at tumutok kaya naman ay patuloy ang pagsubaybay ng mga
manonood dito.
The novel is really good if kids nowadays will just take time to read and understand it.
Great insights Jessica !
Indeed, Maria Clara and Ibarra is a must watch drama. I've seen a clip of it on FB, and I was so curious, from then I am always looking forward to watch the new episode. Fidel and Klay, sooo kilig.
My fav drama right now💗
Ang ganda ni jessica lee jusko🥹🫶
I rarely watch local TV shows but I admit, this series has caught my attention. This series also reminded me of a late 90s Japanese anime which my high school classmates loved during the 90s (I forgot the title). Loved Jose Rizal's books but envious of him because he had 11 girlfriends and only had 3 short-lived ones lol. Anyways, keep being amazing, Jessica-chan! ✨☺
fushiigi yuugi?
@@kolinsim6031 Yes! That one. A Yuu Watase creation. ^^
It's my first time to visit your channel ms. Jessica and thank you for the info of Korean history re: women treatment. Great reactions and thank you for appreciating the series and pls react the whole episode if you may. 😊🙏
Maria Clara at Ibarra is my favorite Pinoy drama! For me, this is the best!
I'm glad that Jessica is excited to watch Maria, Clara, at Ibarra. And to think that she is a fan of Noli^^
I am actually not a GMA fan but I am honestly happy that they are making a historical project as I am so hooked to historical k-series in the whole 2022 yahaha. I have this thought na sana mag invest pa yong mga producers sa ganitong pang-entertainment kc honestly nawawala na yong interest ng mga kabataan sa kwento at kultura ng nakaraan.
"Noli Me Tangere" is a novel by the Philippine national hero, Jose Rizal. The characters in the novel do not necessarily symbolize specific individuals but, rather, represent larger societal forces, classes, and issues. Here are some of the key characters in the novel and their corresponding representations:
1. Crisostomo Ibarra - Represents the Filipino educated class that emerged during the Spanish colonial period.
2. Elias - Represents the Filipino masses and their struggles against colonial oppression.
(Ibarra/Elias duality represents two dominant thoughts and approaches on how to achieve lasting peace)
3. Padre Damaso - Represents the corrupt Spanish friars and clergy who abused their power and oppressed the Filipino people.
4. Maria Clara - Represents the idealized Filipino woman who embodies virtuousness, innocence, and beauty while also being trapped in a society that oppresses her.
5. Sisa - Represents the poor and suffering Filipino mother who embodies the pain and suffering of the Filipino people under colonial oppression.
6. Elías' brother - Represents the Filipino revolutionaries who struggled against Spanish colonial rule.
7. Consolacion and Victorina - they both symbolize the Filipinos who aspire to be like the Spanish colonizers. Victorina de los Reyes de Espadaña, the ambitious and pretentious wife of the town's deputy mayor, symbolizes the Filipinos who are desperate to assimilate and be fully accepted by the Spaniards. She constantly tries to improve her social status by adopting the Spanish customs and lifestyle, even at the expense of her own culture and morality.
On the other hand, Consolacion, a former upper-class woman who has fallen on hard times, symbolizes the Filipinos who were once part of the privileged and elite Spanish-influenced society but have now lost their status. She serves as a reminder that the Spanish-influenced social structure of the Philippines is not a natural order and that, like her, others can easily fall from grace.
Together, Consolacion and Victorina reflect the novel's critique of the misguided desires and aspirations of Filipinos who blindly follow the Spanish colonizers, resulting in the erosion of their own culture and identity. They represent the dangers of internalized oppression, colonial mentality, and assimilation.
8. Pil Tasyo - symbolizes the intellectual and enlightened Filipino who recognizes the need for change and reform in Philippine society. He is a well-educated, wealthy man who is disillusioned with the injustices and corruption he sees in the Philippines under Spanish colonial rule. Tasyo is a character who continually expresses his thoughts on various subjects, including politics, religion, and the arts. He is often marginalized by other characters in the novel, who view him as eccentric and crazy because of his nonconformity to social customs and norms. He is. a representation of an intellectual who recognizes the need for reform reflects Rizal's own views on the importance of education and critical thinking in the pursuit of social progress and national identity. His character also serves as a critique of the lack of intellectual freedom and institutionalized oppression of critical thought during the Spanish colonial period.
10. Kap Tiago - symbolizes the Filipino elite who, despite their wealth, connections, network and power, are still under the control of their colonial masters, the Spanish, and subject to their whims and caprice. He represents the wealthy Filipinos who benefit from the Spanish colonial system and who, like him, use their wealth to gain favor and influence in government.
Through the character of Kapitan Tiago, Rizal highlights the limits of the Filipino upper class in challenging the Spanish colonial system, since they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. He represents the ambivalence of the Filipino elite toward the nationalist cause and their complicity in perpetuating the oppressive system.
Note that while these characters symbolize certain societal forces or issues, they are also complex and multidimensional, with their own personal struggles, motivations, and histories.
Huge fan of Maria Clara at Ibarra show,it ranks on Top ratings,this week is the transition From Noli Metangere to its sequel El Filibusterismo,,Very grateful that other races embrace it too🤗💚💚
I suspect a lot of the series was shot in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan. It would actually be a good idea that you shoot a vlog there Jessica.
it's a resort town where the owner transported old colonial era houses and restored them and made a whole mini town resort out of it.
Actually it was shot in Vigan, parts of Intramuros and in multiple places across Illocos Norte. I looked it up it seems they haven't done any scenes in Bataan...yet. Maybe they will for next season dealing with El Filibusterimo
Nice ending of this series, proud Filipino here💞💕💞💕
Im glad that you liked Philippines and PH likes Koreans to
I watched Mr. Sunshine too (3x) and yes watching this drama reminds me of Mr. Sunshine. The revolution and the cry for freedom and the presentation of the old days.
Miss jessica watch jose rizal from GMA production movie 🇵🇭❤
Rizal is one of my subject way back in a college days , so please Jessica i hope not just you who will love it but all around the world 😍🌸 specially those "barrier language", That rizal wrote.
With the sea of extremely cliché Telenovelas nowadays, this was highly refreshing. For me, personally, a sign that a show was good and entertaining is when me and my father discussing things about the story and "what if's" that are missing in almost, if not, all Telenovelas nowadays. One point I'd like to make as well was aside from the story itself, it's storytelling reminds me so much of a not so popular anime titled Gintama. One good trait I personally liked about these two is how the story doesn't just revolve around it's protagonist/s. They also delve deeper into the other characters, literally everyone has some sort of introduction, making the viewers have options on the characters they could like or relate to aside from the protagonist/s.
And this is coming from a modern audience who mostly watch anime. All I'm saying is I love this show. Some additions and twists can be quite annoying (for me, at least), but it's pretty good overall. Definitely something like Gintama for me, a.k.a something I would recommend to someone without the slightest bit of hesitation. 😊
Gintama or Rurouni Kenshin
@@drakeashtonmontefalco6603 Gintama. (I know Rurouni Kenshin, but I've never watched it. 😅)
@@angkunehonghindimakali it's like it too although no weapons
This is not just a drama. This is a historical novel written by Dr. Jose Rizal Philippines national hero
You must watch it full ep and im sure you will love it , you will feel every emotion on it, first episode you will feel curious like klay and the rest you will feel mix emotion love, kilig, happy, proud, pain , pitty, broken and you will feel excited for the next episode like us😊😍
It will be shown on Netflox soon, so I hope there will be English Subtitles!.. 😊
There's English sub on bilibili
@@johnredsantos8307 gusto nyo makaproduce ng ganyang klaseng drama ang pinas, tapos ipropromote nyo sa site na pirata na hnd nila pinagkakikitaan.
Slow clap for you ma'am! ❤❤
just in the 80 s Korean women when I went to Korea w my sister Koreans were so shocked that my sister was an engineer and heads the department . She was even told at that time that in Korea women are suppose to stay in the house as home makers .. this was late 80 s .. so much has changed in Korea
Indio one of the traditional history of the philippines is all about the cultural dress at paniniwala about the god and goddes
I really love to see Jessica wearing Maria Clara dress
I recommend you to watch AMAYA it is Pre Spanish Colonial Era
One of the best Filipino series that came out on national tv. Thank you for reacting to it, even if those are just short clips. ❤️
Ang Ganda naman ni mam Jess dito saan Kaya lumipad Yung team nya
Sorry but this is the very first time seeing a Korean begging for an English sub for a Philippine drama. It somehow made me proud 😌 (edited: Someone said there's Eng sub in bilibili. With Tinola Subbing Team. Lol the name)
I hope to see more of this kind of show in Philippines because tbh this is the reason why I don't watch tv. There's no worthy plots, only a story revolving about broken family or a mistress. It's quite predictable too. And people still wonder why Filipinos love kdramas!
Good thing they pulled a masterpiece with this! I can say they are slowly trying to evolve their production and stepping up on their game to improve the storyline. I hope this will be a start of many good and worthy dramas here.
Hope you can take the time to watch it, so you can relate to what we are experiencing right now hehe and it's informative. You will love this it's worth your time and MCI is always top trend on Twitter💗
Back then about 1997 when I was in high school, both Noli and Fili are my faves. I always imagine the storyline and the characters even if I didn't watch their theater and drama adaptations on TV. Seems my fingers are kinda wet on most of the pages as I always turn on the favorite chapters. Sorry for that.😅
But hey, this historical drama series is very interesting and it relives my geeky childhood, especially when Klay roams and makes some messes around the drama plus her vocabulary that confuses everybody 🤣, and then new character Fidel always teases her till they became more than friends. 😂
Can't wait to finish this before the much more anticipated Voltes V Legacy will replace them, which is also my favorite to binge-watch sooner. Hope you'll do, too.
P.S. Also, you'll wonder why "sunny side up-headed" Padre Salvi and friends is always making waves on the current world like Dora. Check them out. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank U for this reaction video, This Fantasy portal series helps us to promote our own history way back during the spanish era.
Maria Clara at Ibarra is fantastic!!
Padre Damaso and Sisa characters pinaka favorite ko hehe I just miss my high school days grabe medyo nakocornyhan lang ako sa character ni Klay but the entire show is really good. pang theater ang tv show na ito actually.
I watched this and must say it brought out all the emotions, love,hate,anger etc plus many tears.
😍 loved it.
I love how you take this knowing that ypu haven't watch the series yet you could say how good it is, and to everyone, I think there's nothing wrong with the way she compares it with kdrama, it's not that she's nitpicking MCI but she's just saying that what happened in Noli is relative to the situation of Korea during the same decade and so she finds it very relating to Korean if they would watch it so, that's my take so for me there's nothing wrong with what she said about it at all.
I said that because I saw some comments here that's kinda OA when they only noticed how she compares it to kdrama but I also do get the point but finished the video first.
Oh wow!!! I'm waiting on how you will react on this drama. You should watch it, lagi ko 'tong ina-abangan every night. SOBRANG WORTH IT. I remember Scarlet Heart Ryeo kdrama, that is somehow related to Maria Clara at Ibarra.
Have a beautiful day and God bless you Jessica
Yey my fave tv.series so far.hi Jessica.
Episode 2 palang yan ,naiiyak nako ,ano pa kaya yung ibang episode,wala na akong mata 😅 , really super ganda ng series nato 😍😍
The girl of the name who was in Padre Damaso's scene, the one one you said her acting was good is Chai Fonacier. She also stars in an English film entitled Nocebo. It just recently came out.
The Last telederye I watches is The Killer Bride then after that I did not watch any I more in kdrama but Maria Clara at Ibarra made watched pinoy ts again..
I have also watched Mr.Sunshine! It was a very good series! Tear jerking scene asf!
Looking forward for next episodes ☺️
