Premise
The story revolves around identical twin sisters who grew up in a happy family in spite of being poor and whose lives will be intertwined because of love, identity, deceit, ambition, and wealth when destiny teasingly compels to separate their lives.
Plot
Doble Kara began with the story of a poverty-stricken Laura (Mylene Dizon) who had no means of acquiring money for her dying mother's medical treatment. Laura, who had no choice but to resort to prostitution due to desperation, was impregnated by a married man named Antonio Dela Rosa (Allen Dizon). Despite what happened, Ishmael (Ariel Rivera) who has shown Laura true love, marries her, and steps in as the father of her two unborn children. On the same day of Laura's childbearing, Lucille (Carmina Villaroel), Antonio's wife, too, gives birth to their child, Sofia. However, the couple's daughter died shortly thereafter its delivery in consequence of its premature birth.
As Antonio and Lucille grieve and mourn for their daughter’s early passing, Laura and Ishmael, together with godmother Itoy (John Lapus) and his brother Andy (Anjo Damiles), enjoyed and lived a happy life with their twin daughters, Kara and Sara (Julia Montes), regardless of being poor. However, when Kara was diagnosed with leukemia, the twins' parents was forced to separate the two and give up Kara to her biological father Antonio, who had the means to take care of her, because they don't have the money for her treatments. With Kara finally aware of her true origins, Laura and Ishmael decided to keep their secret away from Sara and Antonio, in fear of losing Sara as well.
Antonio brings Kara unto the Dela Rosa foundation where she meets Lucille. Disheartened by Kara's ailment, Lucille began to espouse a mother-daughter relationship with Kara as she began to consider her as her own daughter with the previous loss of Sofia. Unbeknownst to her of the existing relationship between her husband and Kara, Lucille adopts and brings Kara abroad where she recovers from her illness.
The two siblings, despite sharing the same appearance, grew up having two separate lives, and exhibit contrasting personalities. Sara, who has an extreme fondness of beauty contests and pageants, grew up ambitiously towards her own life and dream, becoming more self-centered and egoistic while fostering a street-smart attitude. While, Kara grew up to be charming, sweet, mellow, very sophisticated, and artistically inclined.
Fourteen years had passed, a grown-up Kara returned to her hometown, and had made a strong resolution to herself to find her family, against her father's wishes. While Sara, on the other hand, remained ignorant of her sister's whereabouts, busy and determined to pursue her dream of becoming rich and famous, as she meets Edward (Edgar Allan Guzman). The two became a sweet couple but as days test their relationship, they stop themselves in impoverishment so they broke up and remained friends.
Edward meets Kara again for a second time and it was already known to him that Kara and Sara are twins. Edward uncertainly get his eyes on Kara, and she will soon taste the bitterness of her twin sister. Rivalry arises between them with both twins fighting for their rights and ownership. But even so, Kara's love for her sister is unconditional as she gives everything to Sara to make her happy and satisfied. Meanwhile, Sara's jealousy towards Kara heightens as she unraveled her true origins - kept and hidden by her own parents and sister. In few times later, Kara uncovered her feelings for Edward and realized for herself that she doesn't see him beyond a friend. She meets her new savior, Sebastian (Sam Milby), who stopped her from committing suicide and helped her with her family problems. They became best friends and now it is Edward who seeks attention to Kara and gets envious of Sebastian. Sara later promised Edward that she will always be there for him.
After the struggles that Kara has faced, every pieces of their family's secrets are finally discovered by Lucille who had known nothing about her family's well-kept secrets. Even her mother, Barbara (Alicia Alonzo), pretends innocently and blames Kara for falling down from a stair. Lucille was saddened by these turn of events, but chose to forgive her family and wanted them to move with her to America again for a fresh start. Unfortunately, Lucille's revenge returns and aggravates when Antonio dies in a car accident and her road to revenge is nearly arriving and she couldn't stop until she finds justice for the death of her husband. It becomes worse for Lucille when another secret from her mother is about to shock her when she meets her conniving half-sister Alex (Maxene Magalona) and half-brother Sebastian.
Alex and Sebastian made a promise to get back the money which their father supposedly left for them. They would do everything to retrieve back what is rightfully theirs. Now, Lucille is against them as well until several circumstances will change their lives when Alex becomes even more desperate for money and she is determined to strike vengeance against Lucille. Eventually, Lucille turned the tables next to her favors when she started a connivance with Alex and assured to pay her handsomely in exchange for her services. Lucille ordered Alex to lure Sara by convincing her to invest her money to a fraud, while she deals with Kara's unwary temperament in an attempt to pester with her family. Filled with suspicions and doubts towards her mother's sudden closeness, Kara investigates Lucille's true intentions. Kara upon discovering her mother's schemes and Alex's involvement with Lucille, she told an enraged Sara the truth and finally decided to choose her immediate family. Sara is still hopeless to get back the money from Lucille since she already gave it to Alex. Sara catches Alex but she freely escaped from them but then she was kidnapped by a man ordered by Lucille. Sebastian searched for his sister everywhere and even sought help from the policemen but she is nowhere to be found until the court date arrives.
The day of confrontation in the court is about to come and Alex is ready to unveil the truth about what really happened to her. Afraid to tell the truth, Alex made a decision not to disclose what really happened to her. In exchange of her silence, Alex was rewarded by Lucille with wealth and money. Lucille wins the case and Alex and Sara's conflict escalates while Lucille didn't stop on ruining the Suarez family and even involve other people to do her commands to watch out for them. However eventually, the Suarez ignored her causing the Suarez's happy moments while Kara is trying to fix her relationship with her twin sister. But things got twisted when one day, Sara seduces Seb and begs for his love causing Kara and Sara's big complication. They search for a way to protect their relationship from Sara. Love still prevails in Kara and Seb's favor.
One day, when the Suarez planned to enjoy the holidays, they decided to go out for a a family vacation and Seb prepared for his marriage proposal, but Lucille break the moment and get the family into a tragic accident. After the incident, the Suarez had thoughts that Lucille caused the accident but they don't have strong evidence for it. Nevertheless, they arrived uninjured and safe and Seb get everything set for his surprise proposal for Kara. Sara's dissatisfaction and envy arises again and before Kara and Seb's wedding, Sara seduces her sister's soon-to-be-husband and once more begs for his love but Seb proves that his love is only for Kara.
After the scandal, Seb distressingly prepares for his upcoming wedding so as Kara and her maid of honor is her own twin sister which might proves that Sara completely reconciles with her twin sister. Sara helped her twins sister with everything for the wedding, but she is doing this to stop the wedding because she and Alex connive with planning to postpone the wedding. However, it was all too late, when Kara and Seb finally showed their true love to God. Unfortunately, another deferral bothered as Lucille showed up and annoyingly opposed the wedding causing everyone to walk away and stop the celebration. Later on, Lucille was again charged with temporary restraining order but as a wedding gift, the new couple is given lots of presents including Lucille's which is thought to be a bomb and Barbara knows this, so she protected her daughter by imprisoning her again. Lucille continues with her agenda as her mother continues to protect her. Sara is alone after being left by Edward, and the twins after making up with their boyfriends, are revealed to be carrying babies.

Doble Kara airs on Mondays to Fridays at 3:00 p.m. PST. ABS-CBN pushed the series to an earlier time slot of 2:45 p.m. on August 31, 2015, right after FlordeLiza ended its series run.[19] The time slot was then again pushed back to a later time slot of 3:20 p.m. on April 13, 2016. The series had its world premiere on The Filipino Channel on August 25, 2015. In the Philippines, it premiered on ABS-CBN on August 24, 2015.

Reception
Critical response
Doble Kara has been met with largely positive reviews from critics since its premiere, with most praising Julia Montes' performance. Walden Sadiri M. Belen of Manila Bulletin praised Mylene Dizon's dramatic prowess during the episodes of its pilot week and the veteran actress' addition to the series, saying, "Mylene’s acting, well-supported by the performances of seasoned actors Ariel Rivera and even Allen Dizon, beefed-up the first week run of Doble Kara. Although, Julia Montes would appear on the fifth episode, Mylene and her co-stars have already built the anticipation and eagerness of viewers to the next journey of the twins as adults. Anchored on Mylene’s strong performances, Doble Kara is an afternoon soap opera filled with an ensemble cast that will succeed in luring viewers for weeks to come." Furthermore, Belen said that despite the long wait before Montes' grown-up characters appear, he can already feel the young actress' different range of acting, adding, "The first starring role of Julia Montes, Dreamscape Entertainment Television went all out to make the series a success. In the short scenes of Julia, viewers can already see the different range of acting she possesses. Playing the insipidly weak, California educated Kara and the ambitious beauty queen and commercial model Sara."[21]
Elvin Luciano of PEP.ph finds the character of John Lapus's Itoy as "innovative", saying, "It’s refreshing to see a character like Itoy, played with subtlety and control by Lapus, the gay kumare who is oftentimes the voice of discord and not there as the token comic relief." Luciano also commended Carmina Villaroel's performance and said that she also effectively grabs attention for her portrayal of Lucille, the ambiguous and struggling character who can either be adored because of her maternal love or sympathized for her growing need to seek justice. However, "praises also goes to the fine young discovery, Avery Balasbas, who convincingly plays two different people girls with both skill and maturity," stated by Luciano.[22]
On the other hand, Rocky Chua of TV Series Craze gave a positive review, writing, "Julia can effectively portray both the bida and the kontrabida roles which makes the story of Doble Kara more interesting and exciting. It even leads in the afternoon teleserye lineup of the Kapamilya network. And yes, the story of it is unpredictable!" On an added note, he said, "Unique story, unexpected twists, and best performance of the lead cast, Julia Montes, who is playing bida and kontrabida at the same time, makes Doble Kara one of our favorite teleseryes today. Viewers were truly hook to it!"[23]
Ratings
Doble Kara's premiere episode, "Ang Simula", debuted on a high note on August 24, 2015 and scored a national TV rating of 16.9%, compared to its rival program in GMA's The Half Sisters which registered 15.6%, according to data from Kantar Media. Aside from winning the ratings game, Doble Kara also won the hearts of audiences as the #DobleKaraSimula quickly became a nationwide trending topic on Twitter because of the positive tweets posted by viewers about the show.[24]
