'Last Romance' premieres Monday

September 6, 2009, 4:02pm

It is easy for young ones to fall in love but what about old people? Are they still capable of being love stoned? Or does the concept of getting smitten simply fade as one matures?

Such questions, which have long been topics of debate, will finally be answered beginning Monday, Sept. 7 with GMA’s intriguingly sweet asianovela, “Last Romance.”

People, regardless of age, will surely get besotted with this reminiscent drama as they explore the possibilities of romance literally standing the test of time. To lead them are two of Korea’s most talented stars – Cecil Song as her namesake, Cecil and James Jang as Chuck Song.

Cecil is an ajumma, a bickering married woman who unexpectedly finds herself supporting her 13-year -old daughter all on her own because of her husband’s sudden disappearance. While proving how resilient a woman she is, fate came overriding her self-worth as she bumps into Chuck.

Chuck is not simply a high school sweetheart. He is, bewilderingly, a movie star who has successfully masked his true age. He is a frog turned prince (or king for those who intimately know him)! So instead of being pleased about the possibility of rekindling an old first flame, Cecil’s insecurity and maturity won over. And it is not only because of her instant accountabilities, but because of her firm belief that she is already over the hill. Blatantly put, she’s plain old for love.

Discover if the feeling of falling in love never dies but simply “grows old,” starting Monday,  before “Eat Bulaga.”
