STAIRWAY to Heaven, the heart-rending Koreanovela hits TV this month in Pinoy version. The story with two childhood bestfriends, Cholo and Jodi destined to become lovers. But Cholo has to go abroad to study and promises to come back for Jodi.

Five years later, Cholo returns to find and marry Jodi. Things have changed drastically. A series of unfortunate events occurred making it almost impossible for Cholo to find true love and happiness.

Stairway to Heaven will be a crucial test both for Dingdong Dantes and Rhian Ramos who are paired for the first time as a love-team. It will be baptism of fire especially for Rhian who, despite her gorgeous looks, has yet to experience the sweet smell of success. This vehicle will definitely change the course of her acting career.

An important factor that the televiewers would want to find out is whether there exist a chemistry between Dingdong and Rhian. Will the screen presence of the two have the same magic which Dingdong and Marian exude?

Directors Joyce Bernal and Andoy Ranay as well as the pool of creative writers must have spent sleepless nights creating kilig moments that would prevent the audience from shifting to other channels.

Stairway to Heaven will also determine how bankable Dingdong is without Marian Rivera.

MUCH BIGGER IN SCOPE
