Audience answer My reception Well, at first I didnt like the idea of My Husbands Lover because Im not a homosexual, and I dont like homosexuals too, so I didnt watch the Pilot Episodes of My Husbands Lover.But then, my Mom used to watched television after work, it just so happens that she turned the channel to channel 7 (GMA) and the show was My Husbands Lover, she watched for a few minutes, after the show she got attracted by the story. She goes by everyday watching the show. I h ave no choice alone to watch too, since we only have one television and I have cipher to do. The shows story is good as it is. I just dont like the theme of the show which is about homosexuals. But by watching it every day, I came to like the show. I even got excited when Lally is about to discover her husbands secret.I think I liked the show because of the professionalism of the actors, and the moral lesson given to us by the story itself. There are many moral lessons in this story you just drive to dig deep into the words spoken by the actors. B. Others reception Interviewee Maria Aileen Icay She said, For the past few days, this drama has been consistently topping the trends and even the ratings despite its out-of-the-way story concept. This drama has taken our country by storm. We define it along with the veterans in the Philippine entertainment industry as Phenomenal. This drama that Im so proud of for is the most talked-aboutMy Husbands Lover.Primarily its because this dra ma is a gem For a drama caramel like me, this drama has set the bar higher for upcoming Philippine dramas and is a history in itself. This is the first drama that tackles same-sex relationship in a very realistic manner. Aside from that, the family issues this drama portrays are something that most of us lavatory empathize with or can even relate to. Its just sad that some people refrain from watching this masterpiece just because they are a fan of the rival network or theyre a Roman Catholic or they are against same-sex relationships. Interviewee Gia Francia Leron She said, I just love this drama because everything is very well executed. The story, script, acting and cinematography. No drama is perfect but this is by far the best Filipino drama Ive ever seen in my watching experience Interviewee John Kenneth Sarampote He said, What makes My Husbands Lover such an extraordinary and groundbreaking drama is the fact that it defies standards. We see Vincent and Eric, all masculine an d manly, identify themselves as gay men. We see that their relationship is rooted on love and not on monetary co-dependence.We see that there are many layers of characters that define a gay man. We see two gay men struggle prejudice that pushes them to loathe themselves and hide who they really are. We see that all people, no matter what gender, struggle in their own way. Interviewee John Paul Luis He said, Ive never been a Kapuso viewer actually. I liked the show even before it aired on television because of the theme, the theme song, the story. Everything. I also liked the show because I can relate to Vincent (Tom Rodriguez) especially on his life, the part wherein he hides his real identity just because his father is a retired general.I envy Eric (Dennis Trillo) because of the acceptance of his mom that he is Gay and her mom is just okay with it. I pity Lally (Carla Abellana) because right from the start, Vincent had been lying to her. What I can only say is that this show made me cry. All of the emotions are already here. Interviewee Maurice Kim Lim He said, What makes My Husbands Lover unique is its central struggle that of a wife witnessing the disintegration of her marriage with her closeted gay husband, whose failure to come to terms with his homosexuality gives Filipinos a venue to discuss pressing LGBT issues.
