MANILA — Angel Locsin plays a scorned wife while Maja Salvador portrays a devoted mistress in a primetime series that promises passion, drama and twists when it premieres on ABS-CBN in January 2014. Directed by Rory Quintos and Dado Lumibao, “The Legal Wife” also stars Jericho Rosales and JC de Vera, whose characters figure in a web of romance with the lead actresses’ roles. A televised teaser for the series, which was also posted on ABS-CBN’s YouTube page Friday, shows Monica (Locsin) and Adrian (Rosales) getting engaged, before being driven apart by an affair. Adrian’s relationship with Nicole (Salvador) sparks rage in Monica, whose speeding car nearly hits her husband and his mistress. The betrayed wife is then seen finding comfort in her friend, Max (de Vera). In a highlight of the teaser, which will air in full on January 1 after ABS-CBN’s “Honesto,” a heated confrontation ends with Monica slapping Nicole. Another scene shows a hysterical Monica hitting her husband. Watch Here Free Online The Legal Wife

“Isang kwento ito ng pag-iibigan na hindi mo akalain na pwede pala. May mga bagay, mga sitwasyon na biglang nanggugulat sa’yo na hindi mo na mapipigilan na nandoon ka na sa loob ng sitwasyon na ‘yon,” she said. Watch Here Free Online The Legal Wife
Rosales, in a separate interview with ABS-CBN News, similarly referred to his role as something new. “It’s something that I haven’t done. Isang bagay na hindi ko pa nagagampanan. Medyo ano siya, medyo buma-boundary siya sa mali eh. Pinapakita ng character ko kung ano ‘yung ‘di mo dapat gawin, bilang isang lalaki na nasa isang relasyon.” Watch Here Free Online The Legal Wife
“Maganda ‘yung mensahe ng teleserye kasi pinapakita niya ‘yung kaunting kahinaan ng mga lalaki, tapos kung paano pwedeng iwasan,” he added. “So ito ‘yung mga problema na pwede mong harapin pag ikaw ay bumigay.” Watch Here Free Online The Legal Wife
