Contents

It is the first television series about overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), followed by 2012 Philippine television drama series Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo .

The show's title is taken from the 1985 Madonna pop-ballad of the same name. It tackled the story of Wacky (Luis Manzano), a rich hunk and Janice (Toni Gonzaga), a witty-beautiful day-hire maid.

Premise

Janice was forced to embrace a life in Spain as an overseas worker to help out her family. She takes on the job of cleaning the apartment of Wacky, a foreign student in Barcelona. The two never had the chance to meet, they only communicated by posting notes around the house.

One night, Janice and her friends crashed into a party. There she met Wacky and pretended to be a rich girl by the name of “Louis.” They fell for each other at first sight. They danced through the night, without Janice knowing that Wacky is her boss and Wacky had no idea that Louis and Janice are one and the same. As Janice returned to work, she discovers that the Wacky she met at the party is the same person that she was working for. Afraid of how Wacky will react, she hid herself and continued to lie about her identity.

As the communication continued, they fell deeper for each other. But just when happy journey started, Wacky's ex-girlfriend Sabrina (Michelle Madrigal), entered the scene. Still crazy in love with Wacky, she would do everything possible to win him back. And the only way to break the new lovebirds apart was for her to reveal Janice's well kept secret. [1]
