Meet the Cast of Netflix’s One Hit Wonder

1. Sue Ramirez as Lorina Dominguez (Lead Singer)

Sue Ramirez (born 1996) rose to fame in ABS-CBN dramas like A Love to Last (Nikki) and The Killer Bride (Vela). Her film breakthrough came in 2020’s Four Days Before Valentine’s Day, earning critical praise for nuanced indie roles. She balances mainstream appeal (Make It with You) with daring projects like Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita.
As Lorina, Ramirez channels the grit of ‘90s divas like Regine Velasquez. Her character battles industry ageism while reigniting her vocal career – a role demanding emotional depth and live singing chops. Expect powerhouse vocals and raw vulnerability from this performance.

2. Khalil Ramos as Entoy (Lead Songwriter)

Khalil Ramos (born 1996) transitioned from Pinoy Big Brother teen star to acclaimed actor/singer. He starred in musical films All of You and Anitu, plus dramas like Sleepless. His indie hit Sakaling Hindi Makarating (2016) proved his dramatic range, while albums Time Machine and Solstice showcase singer-songwriter talent.
Playing Entoy, Ramos embodies the era’s signature songwriter-performer hybrid (e.g., Ogie Alcasid). His character’s creative struggles and unresolved chemistry with Lorina drive the film’s emotional core – a perfect match for Ramos’ soulful authenticity.

3. Lilet as Veteran Music Producer

Legendary Filipina actress Lilet (Lelet Quintos) dominated ‘80s/’90s cinema with bold roles in Scorpio Nights (1985) and Bilanggo sa Dilim. Her career spans theater (Hedda Gabler), TV (Valiente), and iconic villain turns (Nardong Putik). Her hiatus magnifies her comeback’s significance.
Though her character remains unnamed, industry context suggests a jaded producer or retired star. Lilet’s real-life legacy mirrors the film’s themes – her presence adds meta-commentary on fame’s fleeting nature in the digital age.

4. Gladys Reyes as Maricel (Mentor Figure)

Gladys Reyes (born 1976) became a household name as antagonistic Clara in Mara Clara (1992–1995). She evolved into versatile roles in Esperanza, Lobo, and The Killer Bride. Recent films like Mallari (2024) cement her status as a dramatic powerhouse.
Likely playing a vocal coach or ex-star, Reyes’ character Maricel bridges ‘90s authenticity and Gen-Z ambition. Her casting nods to iconic OPM variety shows (ASAP, Eat Bulaga!) where real stars like her launched careers.

5. Vivoree Esclito as Young Rival Singer

Vivoree Esclito (born 2000) gained fame via Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7 and Kadenang Ginto (Ria). As a singer, she opened for K-pop acts and released singles like Bebe and Damn. Her role in A Family Affair (2024) showcased her dramatic growth.
Esclito’s rumored role as a Gen-Z rival singer contrasts Lorina’s ‘90s style. Expect fierce musical showdowns – her casting leverages real-world idol experience to critique industry evolution.

6. Romnick Sarmenta as Music Executive

Romnick Sarmenta (born 1973) began as a child star in Flor de Luna (1980). His career spans Ang TV, Gimik, and acclaimed films (Oro Plata Mata, Hihintayin Kita sa Langit). Recent roles in Doll House (2024) prove his enduring versatility.
As a music executive (rumored name: Mr. Delgado), Sarmenta embodies industry gatekeepers who shaped ‘90s OPM. His mentorship of Entoy/Lorina adds corporate stakes to their artistic journey.

7. Matt Lozano as Victor Medina (Band Member)

Matt Lozano (Star Magic artist) rose through supporting roles in He’s Into Her (Jethro) and Can’t Buy Me Love (Tino). His theater background (Sandosenang Sapatos) informs his musicality – crucial for this role.
Playing bandmate Victor, Lozano represents the camaraderie of ‘90s groups (e.g., Side A, True Faith). His character likely balances Entoy’s idealism with industry pragmatism.

8. Dawit Tabonares as New Generation Artist

Emerging actor Dawit Tabonares appeared in The Iron Heart (2024) and FPJ’s Batang Quiapo. His casting suggests a TikTok-era musician contrasting the leads’ analog roots.
While details are scarce, Tabonares’ role may symbolize modern shortcuts to fame – creating friction with Entoy/Lorina’s old-school hustle.
