“Noong una, siempre medyo may kaba factor, which is natural kasi two years nga kaming hindi nagkita at nagkausap,” says Kim. “But nang magkita na kami, okay naman. Nagkuwentuhan kami. Ang unang eksena kinunan sa amin, nakakatawa. So the ice is broken. Parang bumalik uli ’yung mga ginagawa namin noong nagsisimula pa lang kami.”
How about Gerald? “Hindi naman ako nailang talaga kasi magkaibigan naman kami. Hindi naman kami naging magkaaway. Very refreshing na magkatrabaho kami uli. Masaya ako dahil nakasama ko uli siya sa movie after two years. We were able to catch up with each other lives at marami na uli akong alam tungkol sa kanya.”
Was something rekindled between them while shooting “24/7 in Love”? “Yung nangyari sa amin, matagal na yun, pero yung mga tao sa shoot, tinutukso pa rin kami. Ako, masaya na akong ganito lang kami, friends,” says Kim.
Does that mean they’re closing their hearts to each other? “Hindi naman dapat sinasara ang puso,” says Gerald. “Basta yung sa’kin, laging naka-open.”
How is it to be in love? “Siyempre, lagi kang nakangiti,” Kim says. “Meron kang inner glow, galing kay Angelica Panganiban yung term na yun. Oo, gano’n. Masaya ka lang lagi and you look forward na makita ‘yung taong ‘yon.”
In “24/7 in Love”, Kim plays an account executive who wants to get as a model a real life hero who rescued his neighbors from a fire while clad only in his underwear. It turns out that the guy who became an instant celebrity is her ex-boyfriend with whom she had a bad breakup.
