Julia Montes (R) and Coco Martin MANILA — After months and months of (extended) storytelling, “Walang Hanggan" finally concluded its “phenomenal" run on ABS-CBN. However, the series' final telecast itself turned out to be turgidly anticlimactic, with its young protagonists, played by Julia Montes and Coco Martin, having to die twice instead of just once, like most ordinary mortals do, Daily Inquirer reported. But then, we aren't passionately romantic characters in a teleserye that's been extended so much that most of its old and new surprises were let out of the bag by the time its finale came, so the only thing it could do to raise its storytelling to fever pitch for the last time was to effect those confounding “double deaths"! What a weird, anticlimactic way to end a popular show. We hope the series' fans were happy with that overlong epilogue, because dramatically, it felt really hokey.
