After the success of the Barbie Forteza and Andre Paras tandem in the recently concluded top-rating Afternoon Prime series The Half Sisters, they are back as they relive their onscreen love team as Maria Rosario “Maru” Carreon and Bryan Ford in That’s My Amboy on GMA Telebabad.
The show premiered on Monday after Little Nanay on GMA Network.
That’s My Amboy is a light, romantic-comedy series that will surely pull the heartstrings of the viewers and will make them feel good and ‘kilig’ every night.
It is about Maru (Barbie), a simple yet determined girl who seeks to do her best in life, inspired by her mother’s love for her. It is also about Bryan (Andre), a young actor; TV and film’s hottest leading man, who seeks to be truly appreciated by his girl and his family. And it is about how their unusual work relationship blossomed to become a beautiful friendship and to a one great love story.
In the series, Bryan is the reason why Maru’s stepfather meets an accident. To pay for the damages, Bryan’s manager hires Maru to be Bryan’s personal assistant. But the two always get on each other’s nerves. They become friends though when something happens to Bryan, and Maru is there for him. This brings them closer and eventually the two fall for each other. Can their love surpass the pressures, intrigues and challenges of show business?
