Ask MDL Harem/Reverse Harem Vincent got his girlfriend Lally pregnant while they were still in college. So they decided to get married even if the two of them were not ready for the responsibility and Vincent's mother, Elaine, was very much against it. Thus Lally's married life was never smooth-sailing because of Elaine. But for the love of her husband, Lally endures the hardships in dealing with her mother-in-law and with the support of her father-in-law. However, when Lally got pregnant with their second child, Vincent suddenly became distant and cold towards her. Unknown to Lally, Vincent is keeping a secret from her; it is also a secret he has kept from everyone else since he was young. Vincent is a closeted gay man who never came out for fear that it'll destroy his family. However, everything changed when he once again crosses paths with Eric - his greatest love from when they were children. Unlike Vincent, Eric is openly gay. But, just like Vincent, he is still in love with him. Eventually, the two men start an affair and Vincent tries to hide the affair from Lally by showering her with gifts and attention. However, Lally's intuition tells her that something is wrong in her seemingly perfect marriage. That's when she starts to investigate and she eventually learns of Vincent's darkest secret. ~~ This show is credited as the first gay-themed drama series in Philippine television. Edit Translation

Really Great Series
the story was unconventional and provocative as it is, was treated beautifully and convincingly. The subject matter — a married man and a father [a closet gay who is, ironically, the son of an army general] having an affair with another man, his childhood love whom he had tried suppressing his feelings for — was controversial considering the relatively conservative nature of Filipinos back in 2013 [even now still], but the series was excellent in presentation and treatment of the storyline. And most noticeable was the remarkable portrayal of the main cast in their respective roles.... all the other members of the cast also delivered A-1 performances... the production was excellent, the show looks polished. It feels like a lot of brainpower went into the preparation of the show. Some elements are borderline meticulous, like choosing to add a variety of gay characters to battle the gay stereotype head-on [there was a side gay couple, who adopted a kid even, I can't remember that clearly], they gave depth to all their characters, like no one was just a plot tool, unlike other shows that only depicts homosexual men as lustful beasts, or as sidekicks in crass, laughable situations, My Husband's Lover showed gay characters in normal, everyday situations: going to the gym, working in an office, or relaxing at home. The characters have successful lives not as beauticians or stand-up comedians, but as architects and businessmen......Was this review helpful to you?
