Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel is a 2014 Philippine fantasy drama television series loosely based on a famous graphic novel of the same name created by Mars Ravelo. Directed by Don M. Cuaresma and Francis E. Pasion, it was topbilled by Anne Curtis, together with an ensemble cast. The series was aired on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida evening block and worldwide on TFC from March 17, 2014 to July 18, 2014, replacing Honesto.
The story followed the journey of a young mermaid named Dyesebel, as she discovers the world above the ocean and locks in a fierce love triangle.
The story has been adapted into five films and a spin-off, throughout the timeline from 1953 to 1996. Among those who took on the role in the big screen are Edna Luna (1953), Vilma Santos (1973), Alma Moreno (1978), Alice Dixson (1990), and Charlene Gonzales (1996). On the other hand, Marian Rivera played the character in the 2008 TV series of the same name on GMA Network. However, it is the second time where Curtis takes the role of a mermaid, after her lead role as a goddess (who can transform into a mermaid, a harpy, or a centaur) in the ABS-CBN 2008 TV series, Dyosa.
A young mermaid, Dyesebel, takes on a journey to trace her origins until she finds out that she is the daughter of a merman and a human. Disowned by the sea for being the child of Tino who was the prince of the sea and the human Lucia, she starts with her adventure and explores the human world where she will meet Fredo. But this journey will be marked by a realization that she is not accepted by both worlds. And as a war between man and the underworld appears imminent, Dyesebel will choose to leave those that she loves.
