Ikaw Lamang Pilot Wins Over Kambal Sirena Pilot, Carmela Both in Mega Manila and Nationwide TV Ratings

ABS-CBN's highly-anticipated period drama Ikaw Lamang premiered on Monday and its pilot episode won over rivals both in Mega Manila and nationwide TV ratings.

Ikaw Lamang registered a 24.1% rating in Mega Manila, winning over rival Carmela which only got 22.1% and Kambal Sirena (23.6%) which somehow managed an overlap with the Kim-Coco teleserye with its hour-long pilot episode. 

GMA-7's latest sirena-serye Kambal Sirena aired on the same timeslot as the ABS-CBN program Honesto and it also failed to beat the Kapamilya series. Honesto, which is now on its final week got 27.3% TV ratings in Mega Manila compared to 23.6% of its rival.

Meanwhile, Ikaw Lamang and Honesto were certified winners nationwide with wider TV ratings margin from rival programs. The ABS-CBN period drama had 27.4% national ratings while GMA-7's Carmela only got 16.1% ratings. Honesto (32.4%) also reigned over Kambal Sirena (18.1%) nationwide.

Next week, the primetime slot after the evening newscast will be occupied by two mermaid series namely, Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel (ABS-CBN) and Kambal Sirena (GMA-7). It is also interesting to know what show will win in this clash of mermaids.

VOTE: Dyesebel vs Kambal Sirena (Which is the better mermaid series?)

Mega Manila TV ratings were provided by AGB-Nielsen while national TV ratings came from Kantar media/TNS.

Many fans of Kim and Xian reacted negatively on the decision of the management to pair the actress with another actor, this time with Coco Martin, for the upcoming period drama Ikaw Lamang. According to Kim, they can't do anything about it because it's management's decision.

"Yun din ang hindi ko maintindihan pero sumusunod lang kami bilang workers ng ABS-CBN. Sila ang nagdesisyon nun, and nalungkot din naman kami in a way. Pero siyempre ito yung binigay sa amin and hindi naman kami makakapili kung ano talaga," Kim said regarding the decision to put her and Xian in different projects for the meantime.

Kim, however, said that some KimXi fans were still happy for her new project with Coco and have already learned to accept the decision of ABS-CBN. She just advised KimXi fans to wait for their next project together, a movie which will be shown third quarter of 2014.

"Masaya kami na yung ibang KimXi, masaya sila. Parang natanggap na rin nila. Nandiyan lang sila kahit hiwalay yung project namin and masaya kami na naririnig namin yun. Antayin na lang nila yung movie namin ni Xian."

Based on the teaser photos, we can only assume that Kim Chiu will play a princess in the series while Julia Montes could also be a long-lost royalty from a certain tribe or group. Meanwhile, Coco Martin might be the poor guy hero while Jake Cuenca is a rich man from another period of time.

Are you excited for this new series? The fresh tandem of Kim and Coco is one thing to look forward to. Julia and Jake could also offer something new in the series. What fascinates most about this new teleserye is it being a period drama, a genre ABS-CBN rarely tackle.

Kim Chiu and Coco Martin Tandem in New ABS-CBN Teleserye

Primetime royalties Coco Martin and Kim Chiu are said to be working together in an upcoming ABS-CBN teleserye. Reports said that Kim will be Coco's leading lady in his comeback teleserye, a period drama with a working title Ikaw Lamang.

"Si Kim Chiu pala ang bagong leading lady ni Coco Martin sa bago niyang teleserye sa ABS-CBN at take note, hindi na kasama ang ka-loveteam ng aktres na si Xian Lim sa proyektong ito," entertainment columnist Reggee Bonoan wrote in his article in Bandera.

According to the published article, Coco Martin and Kim Chiu will be joined by Jake Cuenca and Julia Montes in the upcoming project. Childstar Xyriel Manabat is also in the cast.

In one of his interviews, Coco revealed that he will be working on his teleserye soon after he finished shooting for the movie Padre de Familia which also stars Montes and superstar Nora Aunor. The actor also said that this new project will be an action-drama.

"Baka mag-start na ako itong end of January. Magbabalik ako. Napakagandang ano sa akin, kasi after Juan dela Cruz, superhero siya, ngayon gumawa ako ng ganitong klaseng pelikula. Tapos ang gagawin kong next soap ay heavy drama na may action, kumbaga ready ako ngayon humarap sa soap operang gagawin ko," he said.

If indeed this is true, then ABS-CBN might be trying new pairing just like what they did with Kimerald (Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson). However, is ABS-CBN ready to let go of the popularity of the KimXi tandem this early?
