Kapatid viewers are in for a “kilig” treat as TV5 mixes romance, comedy and a dash of magic in the latest offering of its primetime mini-series WATTPAD PRESENTS “Jenny and the Magic Arinola” featuring Isabelle de Leon.
Originally written by famous online author owwsic, this television adaptation is based from the Wattpad novel of the same title which has already garnered more than 1M readers and over 35k votes.
In this modern day and age, what will you do if a genie suddenly appears before you willing to grant you three wishes? But unlike what happens in every classical fairy tale story, this genie does not pop out from any traditional lamp, instead, he comes out from an “arinola” – Pinoy’s version of a chamber pot. Jenny (Isabelle de Leon) is not your typical damsel in distress, she is in fact a nosy and talkative girl who, sadly, was left behind by her boyfriend, Berto (Brent Manzano) on their 2nd year anniversary celebration. As if the universe is paying her for her innate kindness, a genie named Laxus (Alex Castro) magically appears before Jenny from an “arinola” she found after an old woman ran off after eating at their eatery without paying. Jenny thought that finally, she can now have whatever she wants but unfortunately, this “hottie” but snobbish and forgetful genie is more of a problem-maker than a problem-solver as Laxus gives Jenny a hard time whenever she makes a wish. Follow Jenny and be entertained on how she will bargain with her genie to get her three wishes. Find out if Jenny will be wishing for Berto to come back to her life or will she just be trapped with her own wishes.
WATTPAD PRESENTS “Jenny and the Magic Arinola” airs every Monday to Friday, starting June 22, at 9pm before Baker King, exclusively on TV5.
