I loved this Filipino adaptation of Chilean crime drama Nasaan Ka Elisa. I always watched its replays on the net. I also sent a request to the director through one site that it would be better if Elisa will not wear wig. She should have her hair cut short so that the drama would be more realistic. It's very obvious that she's wearing wig.
I always love Vivian. She's great! I don't like Cecille that much because she's always talking with her teeth closed as if she's always angry and whispering. My favorite is Vivian.
I lost interest in watching this drama when I noticed that they are abusing flashbacks. This is indeed irritating. Correct me if I'm wrong, I think they have been repeating previous episodes for more than two weeks now. I also read in one site that other viewers are also complaining about this flashbacks. How I wish I can really talk to the director or the management of the local TV channel where they're airing this drama.

Hello, donsky14! 
You can already understand the whole story in one episode. They keep on repeating episodes. For instance, the very first episode was aired for more than 10 times!
Oh! I must agree that it was overrated before. Now that they are abusing the use of flashbacks, I don't think they can still expect viewers to continue watching it. Whenever I notice that Nasaan Ka Elisa will be aired, I am watching a different program in other local TV station. I'll never ever watch it again. This is the problem with Filipino soap opera. If they notice that people love the soap, the will extend the viewing. They will add more episodes. It usually messes up the drama.
They can never blame us if we prefer Korean drama. They should attend more trainings to enhance their skills when it comes to directing and creating soap opera.
