Saving Grace

'Saving Grace' dives into sensitive topics such as physical abuse, motherhood and childhood trauma. I can't say enough about the impact of this series. The performances are outstanding, the story is gripping, the writing is top-notch, the direction is just right with no filler and no wasted scenes. To be honest, this is extremely hard for me to watch because of the subject matter. I felt so anxious. Despite it being emotionally draining, I think it deserves to be watched.

This is not your typical Filipino drama. It is a human drama-very real, very tragic with unforeseen twists and turns. It is the story of children and their mothers and it is near perfect. The young girl, Zia Grace steals this drama with her performance of the abused child, she is without a doubt, the best! The emotion is easily seen through her eyes. I can say now that we have a new child wonder. Also the entire cast is excellent: Julia Montes, in her comeback series on ABS-CBN, proved how much of a great actress she is, the emotion, the gestures, facial expression, body language-she nails it! Christian Bables is an impeccable actor. His character is wildly violent and dangerous, he is likely to explode any time. He mastered his character and managed to deliver it in the best way possible. Jennica Garcia is a revelation. She showed her versatility and passion as an actress. Her character as Sarah Banaag is a role you'll love to hate! And of course, two of the best actresses of Philippine showbiz, Janice De Belen and the one and only Megastar, Sharon Cuneta- they deliver their best performances in this series. They were astonishing, effortlessly blending with the great actors in the series.

'Saving Grace' is a show that aims to entertain people while serving as an eye-opener as well. It is a story that is very much relevant to the world we live in today, and has substance; and delivered in the best way possible to draw the audience in.
