Afternoon television’s most desirable series, Moon of Desire captivated viewers with its compelling story about love, lies, and finding true beauty when it aired in March of 2014 in ABS-CBN’s Kapamilya Gold.
Two of Philippine television’s most desirable actors JC De Vera and Meg Imperial team up for the first time alongside Ellen Adarna, Dominic Roque, and Miko Raval.
DJ Ayla (Meg Imperial) soothes the pain of those who are heart-broken through the love advice that she gives in her popular radio program, Moon of Desire. But behind this sexy and seductive voice is a mystery that hounds her listeners-- a secret that Ayla wants to keep for as long as she lives. Also stars JD De Vera and Ellen Adarna
Ayla has suffered from discrimination and maltreatment all her life because she is afflicted with a medical condition called hypertrichosis, or having excessive growth of hair all over her body. Now a popular radio DJ of the program Moon of Desire, Ayla hides her insecurities behind the radio booth and finds acceptance from her listeners who seek her advice on love. Seemingly confident on the outside, Ayla is still hurting over a broken promise made by the one and only person who has shown her kindness and love- her childhood friend Jeff (JC de Vera).
She once again crosses paths with Jeff, now a successful dermatologist. Jeff will instantly be smitten by the now seductive Ayla without knowing that she is the same odd-looking girl he has loved his whole life. Unknown to Ayla, Jeff has devoted his time studying medicine to find a cure for her condition. Ayla and Jeff are not the only ones who desire each other as people around them want them just as bad. There's Vince (Dominic Roque), a photographer who falls in love with Ayla despite her looks; Tamara (Ellen Adarna), the rich heiress of the company Jeff is working for and who is head-over-heels for him; and Eron (Miko Raval), the radio station's sound engineer who is passionately and secretly in love with DJ Ayla.
Also included in the cast are Precious Lara Quigaman, Carmi Martin, Perla Bautista, Beauty Gonzales, Dawn Jimenez and Franco Daza. The series was directed by FM Reyes and Raymund Ocampo.
