A story set in the glitter and glamour of the showbiz world. Behind the bright lights, fabulous costumes, and larger-than-life sets, real lives are broken and shattered for the hunger for fame and the thirst for money. Karina Daluz (Gina Alajar) was blinded by the ill promise of success offered by her producer Mers Madsen (played by Charo Santos). Her walk toward the path to stardom entailed her sanity and corrupted her soul. Her innocence was replaced by wickedness and her once good-natured self has become the demon that she feared. No love that is forever, no hope to discover for all the people living in KONTROBERSYAL. Written by svee See less
