Following the success of “LUV IS: Caught In His Arms,” comes the second collaboration project of GMA Network and Wattpad WEBTOON Studios titled “LUV IS: Love at First Read.” 

Beginning June 12, Sparkle stars Mavy Legaspi and Kyline Alcantara are set to solidify their title as Love Team Superstars as they play the lead roles of Kudos and Angelica/Abby in the series.

“LUV IS: Love at First Read” is based on the hit Wattpad webnovel of the same name by author “Chixnita.” The story has over 23 million views on Wattpad.

The series follows the story of Kudos, a secret romantic searching for the perfect girl. He finds a diary and believes that the owner of it, Abby, is the one for him. However, he also meets Angelica, a jaded girl who distrusts men and has no interest in love.

Will Kudos be able to heal Angelica’s trust issues with men? How will Kudos face his feelings for both Abby and Angelica?

Joining the ensemble cast are  Therese Malvar as Abigail, the hopeless romantic best friend of Angelica; Mariel Pamintuan as Sandy, Angelica’s vain and annoying classmate who bullies her; Pam Prinster as Hazel, an old friend and secret admirer of Kudos; Bruce Roeland as Risk, a certified playboy and Kudos’ cousin; Josh Ford as Train, Kudos’ close friend and teammate in varsity; Larkin Castor as Shield, the nerdy younger brother of Risk; Marco Masa as Dale, the loving brother of Angelica; and Vito and Kiel Gueco as Psalm and Philemon, the mysterious twin brothers and Kudos’ cousins.

Adding excitement to the feel-good series are seasoned artists Jackie Lou Blanco as Truly, a simple housewife to Hector and a caring mother to Kudos; Jestoni Alarcon as Hector, the outgoing father of Kudos; and Maricar de Mesa as Yumi, the doting mother of Angelica.
