Development

edit

The series was conceptualized by R.J. Nuevas for GMA Entertainment TV and intended for an early 2013 premiere. Nuevas began developing the series mid-2012 under the title Ang Mundo Ko'y Ikaw (transl. You Are My World)[12] and later changed to Mundo Mo'y Akin (transl. Your World is Mine). The project was put on the fast track since the network's supposed line up of primetime series were cancelled and shelved. Denoy Navarro-Punio assigned as head writer while Michele Borja served as the executive producer for the entire run of the show.

Casting

edit

The series features eight regular casts: Sunshine Dizon was chosen to play the protagonist, Perlita Mendoza. This series also served as Dizon's comeback project after her four-year hiatus from showbusiness. Dizon described the project as "A very good one that is hard to refuse. The story itself convinced me to accept the job. When they laid down the storyline, I was really moved." Mundo Mo'y Akin was one of the two drama series she signed-up for the network ij 2013.[13] Angelika dela Cruz was chosen to play Rodora Santos and Giselle Carbonel. In an interview, Dela Cruz said that at first, she had qualms accepting the role because "she finds it a bit weird and unrealistic for her age to play a mother to a teenage girl." After several discussions with the production people regarding the concept, story line and her character, Dela Cruz finally accepted the role.[14]

Richards and Delos Reyes portray the roles of Jerome Alvarez and Marilyn Mendoza in the series, respectively. The two described their roles as "more mature and more serious than their previous teeny bopper roles."[6] Lauren Young signed on to portray the antagonist Darlene Carbonel. This series served as Young's first work after she transferred and inked an exclusive contract with GMA Network.[15]

The antagonist role, Aida Carbonel was originally offered to Agot Isidro and she turned it down because she found the role "quite similar" to her role in the 2012 television series, One True Love.[16] The role went to Jolina Magdangal, who says "it's my first time to play antagonist role [...] it's kinda weird but challenging."[7] Gabby Eigenmann signed on to portray the role Ziggy Carbonel. He was also the first actor cast and said "I do not mind it playing another antagonist. There is so much challenge from it. People never get bored of it, including myself." Veteran actress Jaclyn Jose signed on to play the antagonist character Charito Carbonel.[17]

Actress Barbie Forteza made an appearance as Karen, who originated from the 2013 Philippine television drama series Anna Karenina.[11]

Production

edit

Principal photography commenced on February 27, 2013.[18] Originally slated to air for sixteen weeks, the series was given three weeks extension because of its consistent high ratings and positive feedback.[19]

Ratings

edit

According to AGB Nielsen Philippines' Mega Manila household television ratings, the pilot episode of Mundo Mo'y Akin earned a 22.7% rating.[20] The final episode scored a 31.6% rating.[21]

Critical response

edit

The series was considered a critical success, positively received by viewers and writers, from its premiere episode. Nestor Torre of Philippine Daily Inquirer said "The series generally made a positive impression on me, due to the confident and believable portrayals of its two leads, Angelika dela Cruz and Sunshine Dizon. And I appreciated the show's penchant for brisk storytelling. Unlike other series that start two generations in the past, this one begins with the two leads already as young adults."[22] Entertainment columnist, Joe Barrameda of Abante described the series as "talk of the town" because of the grand scenes and exciting flow of story.[23] Dinno Erece of Show and Tell complimented Jolina Magdangal's performances in the series, said that "I can see her effectiveness as an anti-hero."[24] Abante Tonite's resident entertainment writer, praised the acting performances of Jaclyn Jose, stating that "she is one of the reasons why I watching the show", and described her performance as "effortless".[25] Jojo Gabinete of Abante stated Gabby Eigenmann's powerful acting performances particularly in episode 67, and he is looking forward for another acting nomination and award for Eigenmann.[26] In his review, Isah Red of Manila Standard Today also praised Jaclyn Jose's acting, said that "Jose's bravura performance [in the scene] when she went into hysterics after hearing words from Perlita that Marilyn is Ziggy's daughter; and when she reacted to the DNA test results confirming that Darlene isn't her son's daughter. Wow! Nobody can beat Jose in that department." Red also praised Gabby Eigenmann's performance said that "Eigenmann's reaction [in the scene] when the DNA results confirmed Marilyn is her daughter, he simply held Darlene's hand and cried quietly. The actor showed restraint only the best actors in the industry can do. Though I am no big fan of soap operas, I think with Jose and Eigenmann around, it won't be much of a waste of time to sit and watch and maybe have some tears go by for 45 minutes," he added.[27] On July 4, 2013 edition of his column, Red praised Louise delos Reyes acting performance particularly in the scene where de los Reyes […] visited Perlita (Dizon) in the hospital where she is recovering after a brain surgery, "she started showing very realistic emotions when someone sees a member of a family in that kind of state. She cried real tears even as she was blurting out her feelings for a person she knew as her mother. And that was continuous, without cuts. That's what I call good acting! And De los Reyes didn't mind that theprosthesis applied to her face to make her look "ugly" would even make her features even more horrid than already was."[28]
