Princess and I (also referred to as The Princess and I) is an upcoming Filipino romance-drama television series that will be broadcast by ABS-CBN. It will star Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Enrique Gil, Khalil Ramos, as well as veteran actors Gretchen Barretto and Albert Martinez.[1][2][3][4][5]

Plot

Mikai (Kathryn Bernardo) is the daughter of King Anand (Albert Martinez) and Queen Isabel (Precious Lara Quigaman) and the long-lost princess of the fictional Kingdom of Yangdon. As a child, she was brought to Manila after Ashi Behati (Gretchen Barretto), who desires the crown for her own son Jao (Enrique Gil), attempts to get rid of her and her mother. Growing up in the Philippines, she meets Kiko (Khalil Ramos) who becomes her best friend, and Gino (Daniel Padilla), a boy at school described to be swaggering and arrogant. It will be about her journey of searching for her true identity and, possibly along the way, finding love.[6][7]

Princess and I, then coming as working title You're Always in my Heart, was announced during an ABS-CBN trade event as one of the upcoming TV series of the network to be shown on primetime. After the success of her previous show Mara Clara, the project as given to teen star Kathryn Bernardo as her counterpart Julia Montes was given the lead role for another show, Walang Hanggan.[8]

On March 31, 2012 on the network's primetime newscast TV Patrol, the show was formally announced as Princess and I and will be shown April 16th, taking the timeslot of then concluding TV show E-boy. Along with Kathryn, other teen actors to star include her Growing Up onscreen team-up partner Daniel Padilla, PGT Season 2 Finalist Khalil Ramos, and Enrique Gil, whom she co-starred with in the movie Way Back Home.[9]

Albert Martinez and Precious Lara Quigaman were announced to be the royal parents of Bernardo's character. Gretchen Barretto also joins the cast after her previously announced project Alta was shelved. Other cast announced include Dominic Ochoa, Yayo Aguila, Niña Dolino, and Sharmaine Suarez. Primetime first-timer Dado Lumibao is hired as director. Star Television, the small-screen production arm of Star Cinema, the biggest film production firm in the Philippines, and the makers of primetime hits such as Pangako Sa 'Yo, Imortal, and Magkaribal, will produce the show.[10]

In an interview, Bernardo said that it was an unforgettable experience to shoot abroad in what is anticipated to be one of ABS-CBN’s biggest and grandest teleseryes for 2012. Since the story revolves around a fictional rich kingdom in Asia, costume and prop designers were hired to create authentic but stylized and evidently Bhutanese-influenced costumes that were fit for royalty. Notably also, to make the fictional kingdom seem more authentic, while shooting, actors portraying Yangdonese characters had to assume a fictional Yangdonese language, and they would dub themselves in post editing. The cast and crew also had to fly to Bhutan to shoot scenes for the show. It took them 2 weeks to finish shooting in Bhutan, and they continued shooting in the Philippines after they arrived.[11]

Bernardo said it has helped her character that she looks like the princess of Bhutan, and that it would help the viewers appreciate the show more.
