‘Janella in Wonderland’ Beats ‘Honesto' and 'Adarna'

January 30, 2014

IBC-13’s first-ever and top-rating fantasy series Janella in Wonderland remains to be the no.1 fantaserye to catch the debut of Janella Salvador as the grown up Janella last Monday (January 23).

Salvador top bills the very first fantaserye about a girl who turned into a mermaid tale. The series is said to be a heart-warming fantasy series — fantasy, drama and romance rolled into one.

Based on the data from Kantar Media last Monday (January 27), the first fantasy series topbilled by the teen actress Janella Salvador as a mermaid tale Janella Bernardo grows up as 15-year-old garnered all-time 36.4% national TV ratings, or more than twice the viewership than of its rival in ABS-CBN like Honesto which is getting 31.4% and GMA like Adarna which only got 14.9%. Aside from Janella, TV viewers also waited for the first appearance of Marlo Mortel in the fantasy series.

Last January 23, in the underwater and the island was destroyed by fire and death, mom and dad pleased that Janella was fell down into the sea and she was sick under the sea, but instead, Janella (Janella Salvador) who turning 15, was awake while swim and she discovers that she can breathe in water as Janella used her magical necklace to transform into a mermaid and going to Oceana while Janella met up with her Queen Calissa (Kat Alano), and also Zuma (played by Alyanna Angeles). So that, father King Triton (Alfred Vargas) and his adviser Sebastian (voiced by Elmo Magalona) that contact between merpeople and humans is forbidden while Janella meets a sea lion Snouts (voiced by Harvey Bautista). In the land, Victor Ramos (Marlo Mortel), Janella's love interest, who will fall in love again. Meanwhile, Janella back to the land with her friends Fallon (Shy Carlos) and Andy (Alexandra Macanan) who are in high school. In Janella's house, her mom Dianne (Angelu de Leon) and his dad Danny (Bobby Andrews) give Janella to wear a school uniform. Because of that, Janella went to high school with her friends Fallon and Andy who is also on the same year level as she is, along with their classmates like Eric (Kiko Estrada), James (CJ Navato) and Ronald (Joshua Dionisio). In Ramos' house, Victor see that his foster dad Marvin and her oldest sister Bettina while Victor loves Janella.

Janella tells his dad Danny, of the incident. Her mom Dianne gave his dad Danny explains that Janella's mother Jenine (Jenine Desiderio), and that Janella was given to their mom and dad as a baby to raise because she was born with legs. Janella believe that and goes to her friends Fallon and Andy, telling them the story.

Zuma appears to the girls, confirming that Janella is a mermaid. Zuma explains to Janella that her mother is Mayleen, previous queen of the underwater kingdom of Oceana. Mayleen's current queen is Eris, Calissa's sister, who is a tyrant and took the throne when Mayleen went missing years earlier. Zuma hopes that Janella will claim her birthright and usurp Eris. Janella refuses, and in her anger throws the necklace she'd been wearing since she was an infant. The smashed pendant reveals a magical image of Calissa, confirming that she is alive.

Janella uses her magical necklace to transform into a mermaid and agrees to go to Oceana in the hopes that Mayleen can make Janella normal again. With Zuma as her guide, Janella arrives in Oceana and meets Zuma's mermaid friends Syrenka (Jai Agpangan) and Kim (Joj Agpangan), and together they visit the Destinies, three mermaids with prophetic powers. The Destinies tell Janella that she needs to collect three items in order to succeed in overthrowing Eris: the Celestial Comb, a Dreamfish and Eris' protective necklace.

According to Salvador, there is having a new rival program because she is now competing with anyone. “Oh my gee, I just always strive to do my best at work. I think focused on improving my craft of competing with others than a soap operas she is oh my super gee,” said Janella.

Meanwhile, the Kapinoy primetime princess believes that despite its new competition, TV viewers will still continue to support Janella in Wonderland because of the upcoming heart-warming, adventure, fantasy, action and romance scenes in the fantasy drama series. “I believe they’ll keep on following our story with the exciting challenges that Janella will face in the coming weeks, especially now that her new boyfriend Victor Fred (Marlo Mortel) already accepted her as his love-team,” Janella shared.

In the meantime, a mermaid tale Janella was revealed that her friends Syrenka and Kim looks at the sea creatures, but Eris (Alessandra de Rossi) denied that. How will Janella was defeat for Eris?
