Premise
Tasya, a sales assistant in an optical shop, who willfully yearns for her Prince Charming’s affection. But she quickly finds out that her fate is entangled with that of a magical pair of eyeglasses that will lead her to a series of colorful adventures.
Tasya was orphaned at a very young age and adopted by her abusive Aunt Kelay. But Tasya, being the simple and benevolent person that she is, ignores her aunt's awfulness.
She escapes from her unpleasant world in her dreams and fantasies of spending romantic moments with her Prince Charming, Donald, the optical shop's handsome model; and so her best friend Mateng, who patiently listens to her fantasies, dubs her Tasya Fantasya.{{cite web |title=Tasya's Real Fantasy |url=http://www.igma.tv/story/3785/Tasyas-Real-Fantasy |website=GMA Network |access-date=March 6, 2017 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604200214/http://www.igma.tv/story/3785/Tasyas-Real-Fantasy |archive-date=June 4, 2011 |date=April 9, 2008 |url-status=dead}}
