Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adarna reimagines the Ibong Adarna epic poem—a staple of Philippine high school curriculum—as a fantasy romance, essentially turning required reading into thirst trap television.
This was Kylie Padilla's first primetime lead after transferring to GMA, and the role was originally developed for a different actress who exited late in pre-production.
