Super Junior’s Siwon and Donghae Topbill ‘Skip Beat’
The long wait is finally over as two of the hottest Korean heartthrobs from the 13-member group, dubbed as the “King of Global Korean Wave,” hit Philippine television with a must-see series that originally aired on Taiwan.
Follow the story of Nikki (Chen), a girl who dedicated her life to support her close friend and childhood sweetheart Sam (Donghae) so that he can pursue his dream of becoming a singer.
Reality hits her one day when she overheard Sam talking to another woman and said that he is just using her. From that moment on, she vowed to reclaim her pride and seek revenge.
Her fury further ignited when Sam belittled her and said she won’t be able to avenge herself because they live in two very different worlds. He even quipped that the only way for Nikki to seek revenge is by being famous too just like him. These hurtful words prompted Nikki to also enter the world of show business.
Nikki then works her way up to becoming an actress and strives to become more successful in the biz than the man who broke her heart. While learning the ropes, Nikki meets Kean, a certified superstar in the industry and Sam’s number one rival.
Kean learns of Nikki’s vendetta against Sam and will help her become a better actress. Nikki, on the other hand, also helps Kean overcome his insecurities.
This newfound friendship will draw them closer together that will lead to something more.
Is Nikki ready for a new love? Or is she still hoping to be with her first love Sam at the end of it all? Will she pick the man she loved in past or the man who loves her in the present?
A week before its pilot telecast, “Skip Beat” already landed on the top Twitter trending topics nationwide not just once, but twice, after Asianovela fans poured and expressed their excitement on the upcoming series via tweets when the show’s teaser aired on TV.

This, and even ABS-CBN PR forgot the following facts about Skip Beat:
Skip Beat is a shoujo manga by Yoshiki Nakamura that is ongoing since February 2002. It was adapted into an 25-episode anime from 2008-2009. The Taiwanese live-action adaptation was first aired from December 18, 2011 to April 1, 2012 with a total of fifteen episodes. Season one of this drama will be aired on ABS-CBN, while season 2 of this drama is “confirmed”, according to Wikipedia, for 2014 (but still not sure), because the manga is a long runner.
