Feel the delights and frustrations of a summer romance gone wrong in 'Almost a Love Story." Text and Photos courtesy of GMA Network. Almost a Love Story is the story of two individuals who are perfect together, but are completely wrong for each other in society's eyes. Pero gagawin nila ang lahat para patunayan that love knows no boundaries. Playing the lead roles are two of GMA-7's brightest stars: TJ Trinidad as Rommel, and Rhian Ramos as Hannah. And this is their fourth project together, after acting together in the movie The Promise, and the two prime time series Zorro and Stairway to Heaven. The love story of Hannah and Rommel begins on the onset of summer. Isang responsible pero fun-loving, girl si Hannah, and she hits it off quickly with Rommel na happy-go-lucky naman. A genuine friendship develops between the two, and soon it evolves into love. Pero may isang malaking hadlang sa kanilang dalawa--isang hadlang that spans eight years. Hannah is only 15, while Rommel is already 24. Pagbabawalan sina Rommel at Hannah na makipagkita sa isa’t isa. But the two make a pact. Every year, Rommel would visit Hannah on her birthday, and she would turn her lights on para ipakita na naghihintay pa rin siya kay Rommel. Pero sa pagkawala ni Rommel, Hannah becomes involved with Luigi, (Paulo Avelino childhood friend who becomes her default boyfriend. After graduating from college, he proposes to Hannah. Ibang-iba na ang buhay ni Hannah, and she's finally on top of her game. Pero a twist of fate brings Rommel back into her life and she begins to fall in love with him, all over again. Kaya bang i-give up ni Hannah ang lahat ng kanyang nagawa sa buhay just for a chance to make it work with Rommel? Matatanggap na ba ng kani-kanilang mga magulang at mahal sa buhay ang relationship nila despite their age gap? Or will the two learn that their summer romance was just that--a summer romance that ended six years ago?
