Under usual circumstances, the show would have been extended. </p><p>According to Dreamscape head Deo Endrinal --the person whom Locsin is extremely grateful towards to because of the trust he gave her for the role of Rhian-- it is the &quot;right time&quot; to end it. </p><p>&quot;Iyong kuwento po kasi hindi naman nating gusto palaylayin natin. Mas gusto po ng team and management na, &#x27;Let&#x27;s end this at the right time, na magtatapos siya sa length nung kuwento na nararapat para sa kanya,&quot; the TV executive explained. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><div id="IVS_ABS_Body_Video_2_Container"> <ivs-player id="IVS_ABS_Body_Video_2" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-vid="1383197" data-ivs-floating="1"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/iframe-parent.js"></script> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script> </div></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>It was revealed that the ending had been planned a month ago. </p><p>Locsin also said that she will be taking <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/09/26/19/the-generals-daughter-posibleng-huling-serye-na-ni-angel-locsin">short break</a> from acting to better prepare for her upcoming wedding with Neil Arce.</p><p>Though she quickly clarified that she is in no way quitting.
