Kelvin-Mikee serye tagged as most-watched GNTV show
Like the favorite Pinoy dish adobo, viewers and netizens can’t seem to get enough of ‘The Lost Recipe’ as the fantasy-romance series bannered by Mikee Quintos and Kelvin Miranda becomes officially the highest rating program on GMA News TV (GNTV) this 2021 and a constant top trending topic on Twitter Philippines during its first three days of airing.
The Lost Recipe not only contributed to the increased viewership of GNTV’s primetime block but even made it to the Overall Top 20 programs in Urban Phils. for the period January 18 to 20 (based on Nielsen NUTAM overnight data).
Even prior to its airing date last January 18, the GMA Public Affairs-produced series has already received praises from netizens for its visually stunning teasers.
Its official trailer surpassed the 1 million view mark just days after it was released.
And when its pilot episode aired last Monday, viewers were surely captivated—from its cinematic opening credits (OBB) to the majestic rendering of some of Manila’s finest landmarks, as well as the element of fantasy and time travel that adds color to the series.
But on top of these so-called garnishes that enhance the series, what pulls the audience to The Lost Recipe’s world are its sneak peek into the colorful Pinoy culture and history as reflected on food and tradition, and most importantly the Filipino family dynamics that pave the way for the story’s conflict.
Its pilot airing became the top trending topic on social media last Monday–with the official hashtag #TheLostRecipe taking the number one spot on Twitter Philippines trends.
Its dominance on the social media platform continued the following nights, with the hashtags #TheLostRecipeTimeTravel and #TheLostRecipeAppleVsGinger landing on top of Twitter Philippines’ trending topics last January 19 and 20, respectively.
The first locally produced daily primetime show on GMA News TV, “The Lost Recipe” also features Thea Tolentino, Paul Salas, Lucho Ayala, Maureen Larrazabal, Almira Muhlach, Sue Prado, Topper Fabregas, and Ariella Arida.
Joining Harvey and Apple in their kitchen adventure as well are Phytos Ramirez, Prince Clemente, Anton Amoncio, Faye Lorenzo, and Crystal Paras.
Aside from Manilyn, Gabby, and Kim, viewers should also watch out for the special roles of other surprise guests.
