Making a TV show that airs for more than a year is no easy feat.
For this reason, The Half Sisters, starring Barbie Forteza and Thea Tolentino, should be commended for airing this long.
To date, it is still dominating the ratings game in the afternoon block since it aired in June 2014. The GMA-7 program even won the Daytime Teleserye of the Year award in the recent PMPC Star Awards for Television.
Amidst the prevalence of romantic-comedies or feel-good teleseryes, The Half Sisters offers intense afternoons, complete with the usual teleserye cliches, but with their own twists.
As the teleserye airs its finale on Friday, January 15, PEP looks back and lists down the teleserye cliches that The Half Sisters used on the show and made it a long-running teleserye on Philippine TV in recent years.
