Binoy Henyo or Wonder Kid (international title) is a Filipino drama-comedy television series created and developed by Marlon Miguel and produced by GMA Network. The show premiered on July 22, 2013, on the network's pre-primetime slot, replacing Home Sweet Home, and on July 24, 2013, worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV. It stars David Remo as the title character, with Sheena Halili, Luis Alandy, Nova Villa and Gwen Zamora. Winnie Hollis-Reyes executive-produced the series and Albert Langitan directed the show. The series concluded its nine weeks on September 20, 2013, with a total of 45 episodes and replaced by Prinsesa ng Buhay Ko on its time slot.
The forty-five-minute scripted drama centers on the title character, Binoy, a six-year-old genius boy and his struggles with poverty and his longing for a father figure in his life. The show garnered both high ratings and positive feedback from viewers and critics, from its premiere telecast.
The series chronicles the ingenuity and craftsmanship of a genius boy named Binoy, who possesses a big and optimistic heart despite his struggles with poverty and his longing for a father figure in his life.
Numerous supporting characters were given expansive and recurring appearances in the progressive story line:
Screenwriter, Marlon Miguel conceptualized and developed the series on early 2013. The show's key target demographic were children (6- to 12-year-old age) and preteens to adolescents (13- to 19-year-old age), and aimed to entertain in a positive manner, at the same time, teach televiewers, especially the parents, to raise their kids to be the best they can be while highlighting the importance of maintaining a strong parental involvement in every child's learning and development. The series also dealt with several social issues such as single-parenting, bullying and peer-pressure.
The series featured six regular speaking roles. The majority of the cast were all announced in mid-2013 during the series' story conference, with the main cast being David Remo, Sheena Halili, Luis Alandy, Nova Villa, Angel Satsumi and Gwen Zamora. Remo portrayed the title character Binoy Santos, a boy with a stunning IQ and a "big heart". He was chosen to play the character from more than fifty children who auditioned for the said role. Prior to this, the child actor had already appeared in several TV and print commercials. Halili was chosen to play another lead character, Agnes Santos, Binoy's illiterate mother. In an interview, Halili said she had no qualms accepting the project despite portraying a mother at only twenty-six years old. She described the role as her "most challenging ever" and pointed her mother as her "peg" for her character. Alandy, Villa and Zamora signed on to portray three equally important characters in the series.
