Legal Wives (2021)

I started watching this teleserye with no expectations whatsoever and I decided to watch this because I appreciate the cast's ensemble. This was one of the dramas that I looked forward to and enjoyed watching, despite the fact that it was far from perfect. There's something very heartwarming about it. This serye doesn't really change the way how teleseryes tells their story, there is the ‘other woman’ (in this case it is justifiable and actually was something considered morally right in their culture) the writer herself confirmed that they followed the template of other dramas because it is 'mabenta' or something that garners strong viewership, the melodramatic moments, and yes, the ending where they all seemingly lives and will always live a happy life. Though it might seem like this is a typical teleserye, I will not get tired of saying that there was really something that sets this drama apart. This drama shows all facets of love and how every kind of love can turn into. Love for the Creator of the World, love for family, romantic love, love for your friends, and love for your spouse. This drama really depicted various types of love. What this drama teaches us is that with love there comes responsibility, and you must be prepared to bear the full weight of the consequences of your decision to act on that responsibility. This was a very special teleserye for me because it reminded me of how important our faith is. Although I am not a Muslim, seeing how the characters submit their lives wholeheartedly to Allah(SWT) helped me reflect on how strong my faith is.

Overall, I enjoyed this drama as it taught me many valuable lessons that I can apply in my everyday life. It really helped me in opening my eyes and heart to what was unfamiliar to me. It helped me understand Islamic concepts, for which I am grateful. The ensemble of cast was perfect for me because they portrayed the characters so well that I wasn't seeing an actor/actress while watching, but rather the character that they portrayed. The story was one rollercoaster ride of emotions. I can say that among the lineup of dramas that this station released this year, this one was the best.



P.S. This was the first time I submitted a review so I hope you will bear with my writing.
