Watched “Jhon En Martian”, a five-episode romantic comedy series that features Arci Muñoz and Pepe Herrera in the title role. Ipalalabas ito sa iWant starting tomorrow, April 14.
Arci plays 223, isang Martian princess, who left planet Mars upang iwasang makasal sa lalaking hindi niya gusto. Mapapadpad siya sa Earth and she will meet Jhon, played by Pepe, who is bound to go to Malaysia.
Sa huli niyang delivery request ay napunta sa kanya ang spaceship ni 223 kaya naman sinundan siya nito hanggang sa airport. Nag-away ang dalawa kaya naunsiyami ang pagpunta ni Jhon sa Malaysia.
What followed were a series of getting-to-know-each-other moments hanggang sa kinailangan ni 223 na halikan si Jhon sa labi – na kung tawagin ay Mars Intergalactic Oral Transference (IOT) – na siyang magbibigay ng kakayahan kay 223 na makapagsalita at makaintindi ng Filipino.
Perfect for the role si Arci. She looks like a Martian talaga. Ang galing din niyang umarte, she lived and breathed like a girl from outer space. Physically, she also fits her character. In this iWant outing, she was able to prove and sundry that she is more than a bombshell.
Pepe is also perfect as an ordinary-looking guy out to seek greener pasture sa ibang bansa. He looks every inch his delivery boy character.
The two have chemistry, maganda ang rehistro nila sa screen.
Saan mapupunta ang search nila for spaceship? Magkatuluyan ba sila? Abangan n’yo na lang sa iWant.
