Director: Jodi, Richard chemistry makes series successful

TELEVISION and movie director Jeffrey Jeturian said Jodi Sta. Maria and Richard Yap's chemistry on screen is one of the many reasons why viewers are hooked in "Be Careful with my Heart."

"The soap is effective as a romance comedy. There's chemistry between Jodi as Maya and Richard as Richard," he said.

Jeturian said Sta. Maria and Yap are effective in portraying a naive, pure-hearted nanny and a hard-headed widower, respectively.

"The followers of the soap are looking forward to the day when Maya will be able to melt Richard's heart," he said.

He said the morning series has a feel-good tone that was able to capture the attention of viewers.

"The show doesn't only leave one feeling romantic every time, but also with a smile in the heart each time," Jeturian said.

Since its premier in July, "Be Careful with my Heart" managed to get its own following and earned good reviews in its "movie-like" presentation.

The director said the soap is the first project of ABS-CBN that was shot using a high-definition camera.

"That explains the glossy look of the show when people watch it on screen, plus we shoot the series film-style so it has the feel, look, and 'magic' of a movie," he said.

He thanked the viewers for their continued support for the series. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex)
