Actress Jennylyn Mercado is teaming up with Filipino-Spanish model Gil Cuerva on GMA-7’s “My Love From The Star” remake.
The hit Koreanovela is about an alien named Matteo Do, who has been on earth for four centuries before getting involved in the life of model Steffi Cheon.
“Laging may personal touch, laging nagbibigay ako ng a little of myself. Binibigay ko ’yung konting attitude ko, buhay ko para maging effective siya,” Jennylyn said of playing Steffi (originally portrayed by Jun Ji-Hyun) during a live interview on “24 Oras.”
Her character, she added, is quirky and funny and “papatawanin namin kayo na may konting inis.”
Gil admitted having mixed feelings on bagging the big role as it is his first-ever acting project.
“It’s a bit overwhelming but it’s also very exciting. It was also very surprising kasi it’s all unexpected. I got an email from my management to audition for the role. Nagkataon na I was really going to come back to fix some papers for my school and for my visa. Pupunta din ako dapat sa Thailand, pero sabi ko, ‘I might as well audition and malay mo makuha ako,” he said.
Gil already has a gameplan for his role.
“Ipapakita ko kung paano ako magmahal ng isang babae. I want to show my romantic side and I want to portray kung paano magmahal ang isang Pinoy through the character of Matteo,” he said.
