SUSAN ROCES as ADELINA BELTRAN
(Walang Hanggan)
(Walang Hanggan)
The Queen of Philippine Movies - introduction worth of every word. Ms. Susan Roces is like a rare chunk of gold that continues to amaze people until now.
From Manang Henya to Adelina, the characters were superb, brilliant and worth of every scene.
I am honestly afraid of her character. Her voice is like thunder that I am affected with every shout, with every anger and with every breakdown.
I am honestly afraid of her character. Her voice is like thunder that I am affected with every shout, with every anger and with every breakdown.
Her pain and her bitterness were well justified. Adelina is a woman of strength, honed by pain from love, striving to find her happiness and fighting for what is left of her.
I love the powerful dialouges "habang buhay kang kabit! Kabit! Kabit! Kabit!! Its like a spear thrusted into Elvira's heart over and over again.
As a viewer I feel what she is going through. Ang galing nyo po!
DIMPLES ROMANA as young ADELINA
(Mara Clara)
Dimples has become one of the power character actresses we have seen in ABS-CBN. She fitted the Adelina well and with a few minutes onscreen, you sympathize. You were captured.
PILAR PILAPIL as ELVIRA
(Ina, Kapatid, Anak)
Straight from Ina, Kapatid, Anak playing the matriarch Yolanda Elizalde, Ms. Pilar Pilapil has this way of portraying her characters with class. Yes, her character is way too different from Yolanda, but her beauty remains classic, with or without make up.
Elvira is the other woman, chosen because of her child with Bernardo. She lived through insecurity with the living fact that she can never be married with the man she loves because he belongs to Adelina. Yet, she tries to live every single day for her daughter and for her grand children. Her decision to offer the idea to swap the babies might be too cliche for most of the viewers, but for a Lola who wants to save her apo, and secure his health throughout his life, won't you do the same?

On day 7 we discovered that Elvira and Bernardo loved each other first. But this love is not the right one in the eyes of the people today. Until when will she suffer the consequences of being true to what her heart says?
IZA CALZADO as young ELVIRA
(Kahit Puso'y Masugatan)
I was lucky to get to know Ms. Iza Calzado and I am so proud her. She is a versatile actress and with her, there are no small or big roles.
She fits young Elvira very well. A classic beauty that is worth of a heartbreak. Nakakainis sya. With the flashback, you get to realize why the Elvira now is still insecure, why her life has always been hard.
DANTE RIVERO as BERNARDO BELTRAN
(Princess and I / Budoy)
Mr. Dante Rivero as I remember, Mang Rene of Budoy is one of the high caliber actors I really admire. You may not always see him on tv, he may not say the longest and quotable lines, but his moments were memorable. His mere expression says it all.
CHERIE GIL as MARIETTA BELTRAN
(Rubi / Katorse / Marina)
If you are to trackdown Ms. Cherie Gil's projects, majority of her roles were a high-class villain, beautiful, sosyal.

This is the teleserye were you don't see her in heels, in high fashion. With her very beautiful yet fierce aura, it is indeed a breath of fresh air to watch Marietta in a very humbling situation. In a koprahan, wearing slippers and all.
I love Marietta's vulnerability when it comes to love, I shared her kilig, and I felt her pain when she discovered that the man she loved was in love with her best friend.
I love Marietta's vulnerability when it comes to love, I shared her kilig, and I felt her pain when she discovered that the man she loved was in love with her best friend.
I also felt hurt when she decided to follow her mother's suggestion to swap the babies. That in as much as she loved her son, she wants it to live.
The Marietta role was not an old mapang-aping-Nanay-sa-hindi-nya-tunay-na-anak-type-of-role. Her love for Sarah might be little, but she provided anyway. Hers was coming from a hurtful secret that is a big bulk of sacrifice, for a mother who only wants the best for her children.
I love you Ms. Cherie! :)
AGOT ISIDRO as CARISSA BELTRAN
(Tayong Dalawa / Tanging Yaman)
You hated her as Ingrid Garcia in Tayong Dalawa and sympathized with her character as the First Lady Marcella Policarpio in Tanging Yaman. Two characters, each of exceptional performance.
Carissa here in Muling Buksan Ang Puso is an obedient daughter who wants nothing but to please her Mother Adelina even if this costs her freedom a lot of times.
She and her Mother continued their lives moving on from the bitter past that drifted them apart for some time, not knowing that there are still painful secrets awaiting to be unlocked again.
Will they find forgiveness after years of deceit? Will she open her heart again for the return of her one love, Nicholas? Excited for Carissa's momentous explosion once she knew about the truth :)
JESTONI ALARCON as RICARDO /NICHOLAS
(Pangako Sayo)
Who will ever forget about Diego Buenavista of the primetime classic Pangako Sayo? Mr. Jestoni Alarcon continues to be one of the actors with a handsome face that is timeless.
Nicholas has his own history that was not revealed in the first week but I bet his return will affect the lives of the characters. His love story cut short because of judgement and the daughter that he never knew.
DOMINIC OCHOA as EDMUND DELA VEGA
(May Bukas Pa / Princess and I)
Mr. Dominic Ochoa's characters in the past are always mabait but in different gradients. That is what I admire about his acting. There is always difference.
Edmund is the good guy who was always there for Carissa, who patiently waited and conquered. He is a good Father to Francis, yet I feel that there is something wrong.

Nobody's perfect even when it comes to characters. For sure we will soon discover his conflict when Nicholas comes back. :)
DANIEL FERNANDO as IGNACIO
DANIEL FERNANDO as IGNACIO
Mr. Daniel Fernando is a refreshing sight on primetime TV. Like Sir Jestoni, they don't seem to age. Unfair, yes.
Ignacio's love for Marietta might be full of pambobola with lots of pick-up lines on the side. But you see the sincerity in all parts of it. His "kakulitan" and his cute "the moves" also made me think that he could also pass as Leonel's father. Or maybe Marietta is just likely to fall victim for those kind of men.
His dissappearance after knowing that Marietta was pregnant can be of two ways: he might have been hurt and would never like to have a responsibility without the full assurance that his love will marry him and that he wants to move on to start a new life again or, he might start something big after informing the police of Nicholas' whereabouts (I assumed he got the reward for himself alone). I can't wait for his return and I hope when he comes back, his love for Marietta haven't changed.
MATT EVANS as PANCHO
(Paraiso / Tanging Yaman)
Whats good about Matt is he is very effective when it comes to villain and comedy roles. Looking forward on whatever happens to Pancho in the coming days. Will they ever have a chance to go to school together with Leonel and Sarah? Up to what extent will their friendship go through?
JANE OINEZA as NATALIA
(Maria La Del Barrio)
If the cards will be played right, Jane is a perfect match to Julia's acting skills. Like a fruit riping in time for its season, Jane has the caliber to be one of the top bankable and versatile actresses of the Kapamilya Network.
Her portrayal as Nene in an MMK episode directed by One of my favorite Directors, Direk Nuel Naval convinced me that wow, there goes the next generation after Kim, Maja, Erich and the likes.
Her chemistry with Enchong's character with Leonel is so cute and something new to the eyes, it made me forget that they were siblings back in Maria La Del Barrio. I guess really good actors can differentiate their characters effectively.
I am so looking forward to Jane's character here. There are so many possibilities to her character -- will she be a friend or a foe?
I am happy for the opportunities being opened for this girl. With a beautiful face and a sexy body, it is easy to predict that she is on her way to become one of the future leading kapamilya actresses. A one special package ready to be unwrapped.
ENRIQUE GIL as FRANCIS DELA VEGA
(Mula Sa Puso / Budoy / Princess and I
THE NEXT ULTIMATE LEADING MAN.
Being the "I" in "Princesss and I", BJ in Budoy and Michael in Mula Sa Puso, Enrique's features - his looks and built usually falls on the same line of characters-- a lonely Prince who have everything, yet all he wants is the love of the girl he can never have. Different kinds of shades to each Prince-type roles.
Somewhat the same situation but definitely not "Kinda Rustic" when it comes to the role of Francis because basing it on the trailers, this time he gets the girl.

What we are about to see in the coming weeks is how will Francis handle first love, how will he fight for his freedom and how will he stick on love until the end, a teen love story that never failed to make girls fall in love and tweet about him every night.
His eyes make you sympathize with him with or without dialogue. Of course the undeniable swag that he have is a known trademark for Enrique. I wonder what will he look like if given a gusgusin character in the future :)
JULIA MONTES as SARAH BELTRAN
(Walang Hanggan / Mara Clara)
THE PRIMETIME SWEETHEART

JULIA MONTES as SARAH BELTRAN
(Walang Hanggan / Mara Clara)
THE PRIMETIME SWEETHEART
Starting as Clara to the very mature portrayal of Katerina in Walang Hanggan, Julia Montes is one blessed actress to be given different kind of roles at a young age.
What exciting about her as Sarah Beltran is that she is portraying a role of her age group. More viewers can relate now with her character's journey.
Sarah Beltran is the underdog in the Beltran household- makes you want to bet for her all thruought. Her pairing with Enrique is nothing new since you saw their chemistry in The Reunion. The Kilig scene last night courtesy of Leonel is somewhat too cute that you will be charmed by the three.
What I am looking forward is the revelation part. Will a fierce Sarah come out of it? Will she hate Marietta and take revenge? That is for us to find out in the coming weeks.
ENCHONG DEE as LEONEL BELTRAN
(Ina, Kapatid, Anak / Maria La Del Barrio / Magkaribal / Tanging Yaman / Katorse)
THE VERSATILE ACTOR.
One element you need to have to be a Primetime star is to make the audience stick with you whatever character, whatever story, and whoever you are casted with. This is what I honestly observed when it comes to Enchong. You don't seem to realize that he never cease to grace your primetime viewing because it is always a delight to see him on TV.
Without any bias, Enchong's strength comes from the different portrayals that captures you slowly but surely as days and weeks go by.
Who didn't fall for Jojo? Who sympathized with Jomari? Who laughed and cried over Caloy's journey? Who got lonely with Luis' rollercoaster love story? And who pitied and cried with Ethan?
Enchong made sure that we feel what his character feels. He makes us part of his character's journey. Saying all these made me think that there is no justification needed for the label "Versatile Actor". As an avid viewer of soaps in ABS-CBN you just openly accepted the term they used for him. He is indeed effective.
What I like about Leonel is his heartless outpouring love for his sister. He is the star who's always watching over her, a brother who is willing to sacrifice just to make her happy.
His comedic timing, and the difference of it from Caloy of Magkaribal is simply a proof that Enchong IS Leonel himself. All natural.
What I am afraid to happen is when Leonel discovers the truth about the 3 of them. Because of the amount of love he has for his sister, will it ever be the same again?
Kudos to you Enchong, a lot of viewers are loving Leonel this early! I can read the tweets. Keep it up!
CHEMISTRY.
Leonel, Sarah and Francis have a very cute chemistry, well at least at the light part of these series. Lets all await when conflicts arise.
I love the first encounter and the second were Leonel was the only one talking. I love the dialogues "May tanong ka ba tungkol sa San Felipe?" , "I'm good", "Ako din good... Sya very good (sabay turo kay Sarah). So funny That I always smile whenever I remember it.
They said that starting it light is just like a full course meal. Always get ready on the way to its main course because this Teleserye would not have a power ensemble for nothing.

Muling Buksan Ang Puso is set to bring you to countless possibilities with TV entertainment at its finest.
Watch Muling Buksan Ang Puso every weeknights after Juan De La Cruz.

I completely totally agree! At first I was abit aversed to Enchong's involvement in this serye but strangely in just a couple of days he has won me over. T me he is an integral part of this serye and the Francis, Sarah, Leonel friendship. Their chemistry is undeniable. Agree as well on the Marietta part. It's not as two dimensional as portrayals of other actresses in a mother of a switched baby role.
