The story is centered on the twins Crisanta (Crisan) and Criselda (Crisel) who got their family ripped apart by their mother's psycho suitor Raymond de Villa (played by Marvin Agustin) who led their parents to believe that they died in infancy when in fact they were given to Raymond's cousin Teresa and her husband Noli, who raised the twins. The twins grow up to be fond of each other and become practically (and later literally) inseparable. Later Crisel dies of a rare disease but stays with her twin Crisan as a spirit. Then, Diego comes along and SiblingRivalry ensues. Their quest to be with their true parents, deal with Cheska and Raymond de Villa, try to make up with each other (which usually fails) and fight for Diego's affections make up most of the show's plots.

Kambal, Karibal (International Title: ''Heart & Soul'') is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino]] [[PhilippineSeries drama television series]] with supernatural elements directed by Don Michael Perez and is broadcasted on Creator/GMANetwork. The main leads include Bianca Umali, Kyline Alcantara, Pauline Mendoza and Miguel Tanfelix. It was first aired on November 27, 2017 and is set to end on August 3, 2018 with a total of 178 episodes.

The story is centered on the twins Crisanta (Crisan) and Criselda (Crisel) who got first got their family ripped apart by their mother's psycho suitor Raymond de Villa (played by Marvin Agustin) who led their parents to believe that they died in infancy when in fact they were given to Raymond's cousin Teresa and her husband Noli, who raised the twins. The twins grow up to be fond of each other and become practically (and later literally) inseparable. Later Criselda dies of a rare disease but stays with her twin Crisanta as a spirit. Then, Diego comes along and SiblingRivalry ensues. Their quest to be with their true parents, deal with Cheska and Raymond de Villa, try to make up with each other (and usually failing) and fight over Diego's affections make up most of the show's plots.
