The ABS-CBN-produced series is a story about five people working in a transport construction company owned by Nathan Capistrano who is played by @pjpcom. His love interest Dani, played by Arci Munoz (@monaarcimunoz), is looking for a job opportunity as an intern at Capistrano’s company and draws the attention of his assistant, JC De Vera (@akosijcdeberat as Ginno Arnaldo). Completing the love pentagon are Alessandra De Rossi (@msderossi) as Janice Espina and Empoy Marquez (@juliusempoy) as James Ribs who take on the role of Capistrano’s secretary and driver, respectively.
Lead star, Arci Munoz @monaarcimunoz thanked her fans for watching the pilot episode.
“Thank you sa mga sweet comments on our pilot ep. Wuv you guys!! #SIFYTheEncounter“
Also, @msderossi who played as Janice in the show, encouraged the netizens to make it a habit to watch it every night.
“Thank you for watching #SIFYTheEncounter! Gabi-gabihin na natin! Hanggang 3027!”
Twitter user @Synnovea9 praised the acting skills and all the elements of the first episode. She also hoped that this will be maintained until the end.
“This is how the Pilot episode should start. Yung acting nilang lahat superb na agad, then may Charo Santos pa. Tapos winner ang casting pati storyline. I hope ma-maintain ang consistency. Good job! #SIFYTheEncounter“
Last night, Pascual was introduced as Nathan Capistrano, an egoistic and strict owner of a transport construction company. His attitude, however, roots from a tragic backstory of his childhood where he was abandoned both by his parents. Francis Magundayao @FrancisThe79th played the young Capistrano.
“What a commendable performance from Mr. Piolo Pascual #SIFYTheEncounter“
Munoz (@monaarcimunoz) was also first seen as Dani, a family-first, happy-go-lucky girl who is eager to do anything for her family. She applied for different jobs to attend the needs of her loved ones.
Nathan and Dani’s initial encounter was at the bar where she worked as a freelance promodizer. @dricklouie felt an immediate chemistry, which he expressed on Twitter:
“Nice one direk tonet. May Chemistry si Piolo At Arci 🙂 #SIFYTheEncounter“
Although she didn’t make her debut last night, Fans of Pinoy Big Brother alumna, Vivoree Escolito @vivoree, went all out to support her first teleserye.
“Our very own @vivoree #SIFYTheEncounter“
“Let’s watch Vivoree as AJ tonight na after Bagani.. #SIFYTheEncounter“
@ZurichZzz also adored Empoy @juliusempoy who plays James Ribs, the driver of Capistrano. Their tandem served as the comic relief of the series and both actors shone with their hilarious and effortless banter.
“Laptrip si empoy. Haha.. i know the Hr, i know the pr, and i know the Cr… Lol
VIVOREE as Aj Espina#SIFYTheEncounter”
TV Director @ericjohnsalut was also mesmerized to see the comeback in the silver screen of ABS CBN Chief Content Officer, Charo Santos-Concio.
“THE ONE AND ONLY CHARO SANTOS!!!! Woohoo! #SIFYTheEncounter“
Netizens also felt that the show tapped into socially relevant issues commending how the director weaved it to the episode and gave praise on how ABS CBN never failed them to give good reason to watch primetime.
“Feel na feel ang vibes ni Direk @tonetjadaone!!!
Attacking strong social issues in a feel good vibe!!! #SIFYTheEncounter Vivoree”
“ABS really never fails to give such an amazing primetime shows, from the success of The Good Son and now this? Wow! Masasabi mo talagang hindi “Mema-palabas lang” From the story to the casts congrats agad! Love it! #SIFYTheEncounter“
Since I Found You is directed by the phenomenal ‘hugot’ director, Antoinette Jadaone (@tonetjadaone), who is behind the success of television series On the Wings of Love (2015) and Til I Met You (2016). This is also the big comeback of Piolo Pascual in the TV drama scene after a four-year hiatus. His last TV show was Hawak Kamay in 2014.
“Magaling ang storytelling style ni Direk @tonetjadaone .No wonder most of her works have become a by word in the industry.#SIFYTheEncounter“
