HEART EVANGELISTA’s wedding scene with Alexander Lee in South Korea made loyal viewers of “My Korean Jagiya” squeal with glee. “Nakakakilig!” they all say in social media. “Heart as Gia achieved her fan girl dreams. Pero nakaka-suspense din kasi baka maagaw pa ni Valeen Montenegro si Alexander as Jun Ho mula sa kanya.”
Does she like her character as Gia? “Oo naman, nae-enjoy ko siya kasi lovable siya. Innocent, bubbly, laging good vibes kasi masayahin. Kahit broken hearted, nakangiti pa rin. Gusto ko yun, yung very positive siya. Ang ayoko sa kanya, masyado siyang hopia. Parang tatanga-tanga pagdating sa pag-ibig.”
Has Heart discovered anything new in Xander and their other Korean co-stars? “Ang tagal na naming nagte-taping, so kilala ko na sila, parang barkada na kami na comfortable sa isa’t isa.”
Is it true Jinri Park and David Kim really had a fling? “Niloloko ko nga sila. Kinukulit ko. Pareho kayong single, sabi ko, so mag-date na kayo. Umalis na si David, e. But he said babalik pa raw siya.” What’s the difference between Filipino and Korean actors? “Mas serious ang Koreans, more discipline. Minsan, when we invite Alexander sa house, he’d say, ‘Sorry, but I have to memorize my lines tonight for the taping.’ Lagi silang very well behaved. Siguro rin kasi they’re working a foreign country. Filipinos, in comparison, are more relaxed, hindi nagpapa-stress.”
