Netizens are all praises for the official poster of ABS-CBN’s upcoming drama series “The Broken Marriage Vow,” the Philippine adaptation of BBC’s “Doctor Foster” that stars Jodi Sta. Maria and finally airs on January 24 on various platforms.

The attention-grabbing poster, designed by artist Justin Besana, depicts a shattered reflection of Jodi on a mirror, revealing a red, rose-shaped cavity containing the faces of Zanjoe Marudo, Sue Ramirez, and Zaijian Jaranilla. Besana is also the creative force behind the widely applauded posters of ABS-CBN Film Restoration’s digitally restored movies.

The poster was uploaded by the stars and various ABS-CBN social media accounts, becoming a hot topic online as it has earned over 70,000 likes.

Besana said in an interview that he drew inspiration from the original BBC series’ and the other international adaptations’ posters for his own design’s color palette and theme. He also noted the use of the red rose as the “unique” centerpiece to represent the main character’s “beautiful and deadly” marriage.

“The Broken Marriage Vow,” which is shot entirely in Baguio, follows Dra. Jill Ilustre (Jodi), a dedicated wife and mom who falls into a spiral of paranoia and destructive behavior after she finds out that her husband David (Zanjoe Marudo) is cheating on her with another woman, Lexy (Sue Ramirez). Jill and David’s image of a happy family also gets destroyed as their conflict takes a toll on their son Gio (Zaijian Jaranilla).

Directed by Concepcion Macatuno and Andoy Ranay, the series also stars Jane Oineza, Angeli Bayani, Bianca Manalo, Ketchup Eusebio, Rachel Alejandro, Art Acuña, Empress Shuck, Joem Bascon, Brent Manalo, Malou Crisologo, Franco Laurel, Sandino Martin, Lao Rodriguez, Jet Gaitan, Jie Anne Armero, Migs Almendras, Avery Clyde, and JB Agustin, with the special participation of Susan Africa and Ronnie Lazaro.

Watch “The Broken Marriage Vow” beginning January 24 at 8:40 PM on Kapamilya Channel, TV5, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page, iWantTFC, and TFC.

An interesting revelation of the actor who will play the role of "Doctor Foster." Prime Kapamilya actress Jodi Sta. Maria is the lead star in the Filipino remake of BBC’s global hit “Doctor Foster,” which will be known locally by its title “The Broken Marriage Vow,” ABS-CBN Entertainment unveiled in a live online event called “The Doctor Is In” on Friday (May 7).

Jodi, whose career is marked by compelling performances and highly acclaimed roles across various genres, takes on another iconic character as Dra. Jill Ilustre, the Filipina counterpart of Gemma Foster. A loving wife and mother with an accomplished medical career, Jill begins to see cracks in her picture-perfect life when she discovers that her husband is having an affair with a younger woman.

Playing opposite Jodi is Zanjoe Marudo, one of the country’s most versatile actors in TV and film, who will be portraying the Pinoy Simon Foster known as David Ilustre. He may be acting like the perfect husband and father, but David is hiding a secret life from her wife – an affair that will change their family forever.

The marriage-wrecking mistress entangled in this domestic mess will be played by Sue Ramirez, who will be starring as Lexy Lucero, the Pinay Kate Parks. Young, sexy, and wealthy, Lexy is used to getting what she wants and will not settle for less in love, even if it is with a married man.

Completing the main cast of “The Broken Marriage Vow” is Zaijian Jaranilla, who will be filling the role of Gio Ilustre, the Filipino Tom Foster. The only son of Jill and David, Gio falls victim to his parents’ emotional tug-of-war.

Bringing this extraordinary story to life is one of the most prolific female directors working in the country today, Concepcion Macatuno, whose body of work is known for its emphasis on empowered Filipino women. Direk Connie brings her expertise and experience to “The Broken Marriage Vow,” about a woman who, in the face of betrayal, finds strength and courage to protect what she loves.

“The Broken Marriage Vow” is the sixth local adaptation of “Doctor Foster” following its adaptations in France, Russia, Turkey, India, and South Korea, whose “The World of the Married” would become the country’s highest rated cable TV drama.
