Their guesses included “Princess and I” and “Reigning Angel” up to the point that Fyang nailed it with “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/7/27/miss-behave-strong-impression-with-exceptional-cast-gripping-narrative-academic-approach-on-romance-0036" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Miss Behave</strong></a>,” the youth-oriented series featuring Alexa Ilacad, Xyriel Manabat, Reign Parani, Rans Rifol and Andi Abaya.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1499219118559943%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Straight after Fyang’s adorable minion-sounding laughter, they proceeded to accurately decode the clues that cleverly described the recently completed “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/blood-vs-duty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Blood vs Duty</strong></a>,” that was top-billed by Richard Gutierrez and Gerald Anderson. Other than that, they also recognized “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/8/2/see-how-alexa-and-gelo-prepared-for-the-chambermaid-s-daughter-season-2-0050" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Chambermaid’s Daughter,</strong></a>” ABS-CBN’s first microdrama that debuted GeLex, Alexa and BGYO Gelo Rivera’s on-screen pairing.</p><p>A few series either landed on the tip of their tongues or have yet to be watched, particularly the comedy-fantasy “Young Blood,” the revenge-filled “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/7/-twist-of-fate-sizzles-with-over-18-6m-views-on-kapamilya-platforms-0200" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Twist of Fate</strong></a>,” the sports-themed “Love at First Spike,” and the medical-slash-supernatural “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/7/7/iwant-original-series-nurse-the-dead-captivates-charming-comedy-spooky-moments-heartwarming-scenes-0007" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nurse of the Dead</strong></a>.” </p><p>Following another correct response which revealed the high-rated primetime series titled “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</strong></a>,” Fyang then led the game by ultimately naming their very own iWant shows, “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/1/15/jm-and-fyang-s-hit-series-ghosting-season-1-streams-free-on-iwant-0921" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Ghosting</strong></a>” and “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/7/17/jmfyang-continues-fake-engagement-romance-in-will-you-fake-marry-me-part-2-trends-on-social-media-1617" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Will You Fake Marry Me?</strong></a>” </p><p>“Kung ano [pa] ‘yung atin ‘yun [pa] ‘yung hindi ko nahulaan,” JM joked, though he absolutely scored three points throughout the challenge.</p><p>Watch the episodes of these<a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> iWant Originals</strong></a> through subscription plans: ₱35/month in the Philippines, USD 4.99/month in the United States (promotional price valid until October 31, 2026), and USD 4.99/month for the rest of the world.
