“We want to make sure that our audience will follow our show not only because of the slapping scenes, but also because, through it, they learn how to deal with the problems of their own families, which they have been afraid to face,” said Direk Rory about the Primetime Bida series topbilled by Angel Locsin, Maja Salvador, JC de Vera, and Jericho Rosales.
“Many viewers will be able to connect with the characters of Monica (Angel Locsin), Nicole (Maja Salvador), Max (JC de Vera), and Adrian (Jericho Rosales), because their personal battles are true-to-life. ‘Legal Wife’ is about the love and sacrifices that a person is willing to do for the sake of his family,” Direk Dado Lumibao explained.
Meanwhile, Angel Locsin, Maja Salvador, JC de Vera, and Jericho Rosales revealed that story of “The Legal Wife” also made them discover a lot about themselves.

For Echo, the plot of “The Legal Wife” will serve as a huge eye-opener for Filipino families. “Infidelity is such a sensitive topic, but I believe that this is the right time to make everyone understand why this happens, and why people end up in this situation,” he said.
Maja Salvador added that while her character in the series is controversial, she believes that many people will be able to relate with Nicole. “There are many kinds of love, but there is this kind where somebody accepts your whole personality despite of the things that you did in the past,” she shared.
