I've been meaning to write a review for GMA Network's afternoon drama Magandang Dilag for a while now. But now's as good a time as any. The ratings are surging and the story is kicking into high gear. And it's not hard to see why. The perfect soapy plot, an endearing lead and a fast-paced story all make for a fun, not-so-guilty pleasure. That is a combination that is often attempted, but not often accomplished by other series. Yet Magandang Dilag shows that even the simplest stories can still captivate and capture the imagination of audiences.
