When a love from the past resurfaces, sometimes it’s best to just keep them in the past, especially when the present circumstances are different. But, so many lonely souls just can’t fight the temptation.
“Love Forbids”, a 50-episode Viva Movie Box microdrama directed by Aya Topacio, will show Denise Esteban in this precarious situation as she plays Alyssa, a married woman who crosses paths with her ex-lover.
Emotionally worn down by repeated failures to conceive, Alyssa struggles to save her marriage. When her husband, Richard (Akihiro Blanco), introduces her to their new OB-Gyne, she is shocked to discover he is Neil (Alex Medina), the man she once ghosted.
Neil is now a family man, husband to Isabelle (Apple Dy) and father to six-year-old Lily (Zoe Viterbo). Yet, even after all these years, his love for Alyssa is still there. And seeing her now makes him want to be with her again.
Both consenting adults, Alyssa and Neil begin an affair that two people disapprove of: Katrina (Andrea Babierra), Alyssa’s best friend who knows Isabelle, and Vince (Pat Sugui), Neil’s best friend, who dislikes being used as an alibi.
With each episode running for a minute or two, “Love Forbids” is filled with secrets, lies, passion, and different kinds of love. Find out where all these things will lead to. And ultimately, from being someone who wants to build a family, will Alyssa really turn out to be a homewrecker?
