Nobody. Makes. Me... Sampal!

Rarely does a villain seize the hearts of viewers. As Filipinos love its teleserye protagonists to move them to tears, so does it find an effective antagonist in a ruthless, spiteful character—one that would not hesitate to give the lead character a compelling slap in the face or a good catfight replete with all that hair yanking.

Basically, a "bida" is pitiful as a "kontrabida" is loathed with fervent passion.

Director and writer Jade Castro's My Kontrabida Girl exactly toys with the stereotype of the ultimate "kontrabida." It succeeds more as a comedy than a romantic flick as it centers on how its main character, a teleserye kontrabida, loses her knack for being the meanest, most despicable teleserye villain on Philippine primetime television.

Rhian Ramos and Aljur Abrenica back with a vengeance

They have not been very visible in the media for sometime, and many are writing them off as washed up screen stars.

Wait, what is this thing we see onscreen lately? They have a movie…and together?

Oh my! Has GMA Films gone mad? Why put these two together in a movie?

This may be a brilliant move of GMA Films. Bring together two of the country’s most talked about personalities, at least, recently, and the screen will have an explosion!

Rhian Ramos and Aljur Abrenica star in a romantic-comedy, My Kontrabida Girl.

And guess who the film outfit signed to direct it? Jade Castro who stirred a recent hit among indie fanatics with his Zombadings!

Well, everyone is anticipating that My Kontrabida Girl would be as funny. He said it would also be a heartwarming film. Filled with unexpected twists and endless laughs, this offering is the perfect avenue for Rhian and Aljur.

Making this movie extraordinarily special are actors who add spice to Rhian and Alger’s characters. And they are Jake Vargas, Bea Bienne, Chari Solomon, Mommy Pala boy, Kevin Santos, Enzi Pineda, Self Cadayona, Ken Chan, Bela Padilla, Gwen Zamora, Sabina Santiago and Bella Flores.

In the film, Rhian breathes life to the character of Isabel Reyes who is the infamous soap opera villain in the country. Everyone simply loathes Isabel who makes her the most condemned personality in the world of television.
