The highly anticipated romance-drama “Love, Siargao” is coming to Viu, and the streaming platform has officially released its full trailer. Starring Asia’s Multimedia Star Alden Richards and Multimedia Princess Nadine Lustre, the series is set to premiere on June 26.
The two-minute video offers a stunning visual tour of the pristine beaches and lush mangroves of the island. It introduces Jao, played by Richards, and Kara, played by Lustre, as two individuals whose paths cross under different circumstances. The trailer hints at their contrasting motives — Jao is searching for his past, while Kara is trying to forget hers.
Viewers also get a sneak peek at the undeniable chemistry between the two leads, as well as mentions of the infamous “Siargao Curse,” a local myth said to make visitors either fall in love or stay on the island forever.
Joining the lead stars is prominent K-drama actor Kim Ji-soo, who plays the role of Han Bin, the co-owner of the local Katig Hotel.
The series also features a stellar supporting ensemble, including Gab Lagman, who recently captivated audiences in “Chasing in the Wild” and “Golden Scenery of Tomorrow,” and Kyline Alcantara, known for her breakthrough performance in “Kambal, Karibal.”
Internet personality and comedian Christopher Diwata, who became a viral sensation for his unforgettable “What happen Vela” impersonation, is also set to bring his charm to the island.
Rounding out the talented cast are theater actress and Gawad Urian winner Kakki Teodoro; Adrian Lindayag from “The Boy Foretold by the Stars”; Vince Maristela, widely recognized as a cast member of “Rakrak”; and former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate AZ Martinez.
Additionally, actress Coleen Garcia, known for her hit film “Exes Baggage,” is confirmed to make a special participation in the series.
Announced earlier this year, “Love, Siargao” is a 26-episode series produced in collaboration with Viva Entertainment. The romance-drama is positioned as a visual love letter that highlights not only the love story of its leads but also the vibrant local culture, food scene, and world-famous tourist spots of the Surfing Capital of the Philippines.
