The Love Affair

I enjoyed the movie, and as expected from a drama movie, it was very moving (I cried buckets). Although the story is not original, there have been so many movies done on the same topic/issue, still the movie came out very well and the writer & director managed to pull the heart strings of anyone watching.

Out of all the leads, Dawn Zulueta stood out the most in terms of acting - the expression in her eyes, the way she delivered the lines were just very true to the role she portrayed. I find Richard Gomez's acting here to be a bit one-dimensional, I was expecting him to show more emotion/struggle, given the dilemma faced by his character. Bea Alonzo was also very good here but she seems to overact at times. What I did not like in the movie is that Richard and Bea does not have chemistry. On the other hand, Dawn and Richard were a perfect pair.

The supporting characters (especially those who portrayed as children of Richard and Dawn, and the guy who portrayed as the lawyer/officemate of Bea need to go through serious acting workshop, the sort of ruin the scenes they are in with their bad acting).

Overall, it was a good movie for me, it could have been shorter, but enjoyable to watch just the same.
