When Ken as Yuan asked Barbie as Billie in the last episode why she chose him, this is her reply: “Ikaw ang na-miss ko sa lahat nung malayo ako. Ikaw ang nagpapalakas ng loob ko. Kahit suplado ka, kahit antipatiko ka, ikaw ang nagpatawa at nagpangiti sa akin. Kaya ikaw ang gusto kong makasama. Kayo nila Luke and Leia (Ken’s babies). Ikaw, Yuan Lee, at lahat ng problemang dadalhin mo sa buhay ko, tatanggapin ko.”
But some quarters are not at all satisfied with her explanation and say they felt so disappointed. They wish Billie chose Ivan instead, or Jak, or Addy. The truth is that whoever it is that Barbie selected, it will still not please all the fans because each group has its own bet for her. So even if she chose Ivan Dorschner or Jak Roberto or Addy Raj, there will still be disgruntled fans as it is simply impossible to please everyone.
One incontrovertible fact remains, though, the acting of Barbie in the show’s last episode's dramatic moments is simply superb, confirming that she’s really one of our best young actresses today and GMA should give her a follow up show, pronto!
We asked those in the know as to why Barbie chose Ken and we’re told it’s simply because Ken got the most number of text votes. “Hindi totoong iba ang nakakuha ng most number of votes,” says our informer. “Si Ken talaga. Also, even online, Ken has the most number of supporters.”
The handlers of the show’s lead stars all say that among the four guys, Ken has the most numerous fans of all. And this is evident whenever they do mall shows in various parts of the country.
“Kahit saang parte ng Manila o Luzon o Visayas o Mindanao, kapag si Ken na ang lumabas on stage, halos magiba ang venue sa lakas ng hiyawan at sigawan para sa kanya,” say the GMA people.
“Nagsisimula pa lang ang show, ganyan na ang reaction sa kanya at hindi nabawasan yan kundi lalong nadagdagan as the show went on. Kaya huwag nang magreklamo yung iba kasi maski sina Ivan, Jak at Addy, alam nila ito. Si Ken talaga ang pinakamaraming fans sa kanilang apat. One thing good about this is naka-develop ang GMA ngayon ng mga bagong leading men. Noon, laging sinasabing kulang sa leading men ang Kapuso network. O ayan ngayon, we have four new leading guys na dapat bigyan agad ng bagong projects.”
