The characters are bound by the actions they make that made them what they are... All the characters in Maryo J. de los Reyes' adaptation of Pablo Gomez's classic novel are filled with sorrow from their unwanted past that makes them what they are in their present, they all have the will to change their future depending on their actions.
It's very true to its title about suffering, this is very much a character study of five "suffering" people: Christine (Katrina Halili), Rod (Dennis Trillo), Roland (Gabby Eigenmann), Millet (Iwa Moto) and Hedy (Ana Capri). We see them change from what they are in the beginning to the end. Christine transformed from a strong, almost man-hating, woman to a woman whose main objective is to care for her child. Rod took the path he never wanted, taking back what was his to begin with, from a "bad boy" to a "good boy"; which comes in contrast with Roland who comes as sweet and innocent in the beginning to a mad and masochistic in the end to obtain the love of the woman he loves in any way possible. Millet, her past was filled with unhappiness, which she makes up in love for a man who hasn't decided his future, she is a woman with a strong persona but with a weak soul. And there is Hedy, who was happy in the past thinking it will continue to her sad present, love was everything for her, throwing away money and her dignity for a man who will never love her back the way she loves him.
