Tasya's Real Fantasy

Carlo J. Caparas' Tasya Fantasya is the ultimate Sunday show that is bound to help us forget our worries and live in alternate reality, even if it's just for a few minutes. Last April 6, we witnessed the premiere of GMA's newest telefantasya show; Carlo J. Caparas' Tasya Fantasya. Sundays will never be the same again, as Tasya enters our home with her wacky adventures filled with whimsical characters and fruitful stories of wisdom. Imagine a world where you can be whoever you want to be. This is the premise of Carlo J. Caparas' Tasya Fantasya. Tasya is played by the adorable Yasmien Kurdi. The story revolves around Tasya, who was abandoned by her father and grew up living with her abusive Aunt named Ketay, played by Vangie Labalan. Despite the harshness of reality, this simple and benevolent girl uses her imagination to escape her tragic life. Her daydreaming involves a handsome Prince Charming. Donald (Wendell Ramos), the primary model of the optical shop she works for is the object of Tasya's fantasies. She then relays all her stories of love and romance to her best friend Mateng (Gladys Reyes). It is Mateng who gave her the nickname Tasya Fantasya. Donald may be Tasya's dream boy but the young man who truly loves her is Raz (Rainier Castillo), Donald's personal assistant. Though Raz is romantically attracted to Tasya, he buries his feeling for her and nurtures their friendship instead. Tasya's life becomes more interesting when she finds a magical set of eyeglasses lying around the shop. Every time she wears the mysterious eyeglass, she transforms into a beautiful young lady. What's makes Tasya life more fun is when she finds out that Donald and Raz are also part of her new adventures. Like her, the two also transforms into different characters. But like any dream, one must wake-up. And this happens as soon as she removes the glasses: everything returns back to normal. Tasya may be a simple sales assistant in the mortal world, but there's a secret behind her real identity. Tasya is also Princess Anastacia, a bewitching woman destined to be Prince Federico's queen. Soon it will all be revealed that Ms. Brigida (Alicia Mayer) the optical shop owner is Queen Virtuosa, and her son Prince Federico is actually Donald. The plot becomes meatier, when Tasya finds out that she is bound to marry Donald in the fantasy world. What will Tasya do? Marry the man of her dreams and live in fantasy world or find her true love in real life? A man who is probably waiting for her just around the corner? -- Text by Alula Love M. Dela Cruz.
