The new GMA historical drama “Maria Clara at Ibarra” has received enthusiastic approval from historical K-dramas enthusiasts.
On October 3, 2022, the GMA Network will debut the Philippine television drama fantasy “Maria Clara at Ibarra,” which stars Barbie Forteza, Julie Ann San Jose, and Dennis Trillo. The life of Gen Z nursing student Klay Infantes, played by Barbie Forteza, is the focus of this television series. Klay is transported into the worlds of Dr. Jose Rizal’s well-known books Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.

Klay soon runs across Dennis Trillo’s character, Crisostomo Ibarra, in the drama. He was a mestizo Filipino who spent seven years studying in Europe before returning to his native country. Among the other two is Julie Ann San Jose, who plays the stereotypically conservative Filipina woman named Maria Clara. She was Ibarra’s bride-to-be and the daughter of Kapitan Tiago.
Tirso Cruz III, Manilyn Reynes, Juan Rodrigo, Rocco Nacino, David Licauco, Juancho Trivino, Dennis Padilla, Lou Veloso, Gilleth Sandico, Karenina Haniel, and Andrea Torres are among the actors in the drama’s cast.
