Born to Shine

Season 1

TV-PG
In the early 2000s, Minchie (Manilyn) had to let go of her ultimate dream to perform onstage and leave their iconic group, Rosabellas, after being heartbroken by a member of another band. As she disappears into an urban fishport town, Minchie keeps with her the secret of bearing a child from her past failed relationship. Her child is in the character of Jennie (Zephanie), who grows up to be a loving, cheerful, and talented lady. Just like her mother, Jennie is into singing and performing. But her dream to become a P-Pop idol is going to be far from easy. Jennie has to make a lot of sacrifices, especially without her mother's support, who had painful experiences in show business. How will her journey towards her aspirations turn out? In the dazzling world of music and stardom, brilliance comes with a price. The story of Jennie is not just about proving her talent, but also about facing the truth behind her fiercest rival.
