It is the first-ever vertical series of ABS-CBN Studios.
Starting April 30, streaming service iWant will stream the first vertical drama of ABS-CBN Studios, the entertainment content production group of the Kapamilya network.
Entitled The Chambermaid’s Daughter, it is top-billed by Alexa Ilacad and Gelo Rivera, and it marks the group’s move into microdrama space—where stories are told through short, easy-to-watch episodes designed for quick viewing.
The story follows hotel room attendant Hannah Montano, played by Alexa Ilacad, who is often overlooked at work despite her dedication.
That is until she is chosen by Korean executive Daniel Jeon, played by Gelo Rivera, to become his private Tagalog translator.
“What begins as a simple side job soon leads to a life-changing turn, pulling Hannah (Alexa) into a world far beyond what she has known,” the description provided by the network continued. “Hannah (Alexa) develops a growing connection with Daniel (Gelo) as she adjusts to her new environment, with both navigating personal histories and expectations tied to their roles as a housekeeper and a business executive.”
The series also introduces the on-screen pairing of Alexa and Gelo and will join iWant’s growing lineup of vertical dramas starting next Thursday, April 30.
The first five episodes will be available for free on the iWant app, ABS-CBN Facebook, and iWant YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, access to episodes 6 to 30 will be available exclusively on iWant through subscription plans—which start at PHP35 per month in the Philippines and USD 12.99 per month in the United States.
