'Full House' opens Monday


KAPUSO Star Richard Gutierrez and Famas Best Actress Heart Evangelista will once again capture the hearts of many as they star in the Filipino version of the Korean TV series "Full House" on Monday.

Richard will breathe life to the character of Justin, a famous actor who has a complicated relationship with his father and is secretly in love with his best friend Elaine played by Isabel Oli.

Heart will play the role of Jessie, a struggling writer supposedly won an all-expense paid trip to Prague where he will first meet Richard's character Justin.

Upon arriving in Prague, Jessie will discover that she was deceived by his brother Donald played by Rainier Castillo who sold her house to Justin.

Jessie comes home to an empty house and with an empty bank account.

In debt with Justin, Jessie will work as his housekeeper to get her house back.

As they lived in one house, they will be hounded by series of controversies.

To save his showbiz career, Justin will be forced to marry Jessie but only in papers.

Prague

The production team of "Full House" shot several sequences in Prague, Czech Republic.

They paid careful attention to its costume, production design and location.

When asked by the press on their experience in Prague, Richard was very thrilled and said that he was happy to be with Heart in another country.

Heart on the other hand said: "Before when we were still doing Asero, we were a little bit distant to each other but now we are closer and we were able to talk about life and our problems."

She also said that Richard gave him something during their stay in the city. "He gave the cup with the map of Prague."

Roles

Heart said she watched the Korean version of the show to know more about the role and Song Hye's acting in the original series.

She also said that the character is very similar to her.

"She's very happy go lucky and I'm the same. I live life a day at a time, and she's like a child," Heart said.

Richard echoed the same sentiment about his character.

"We have a lot of similarities. He's an artist and so am I and I also value my private life," he said.

Heart said that the difference of the Filipino from the Korean version would be their attack in the humor of story.

Richard also said that they have to prolong the series because it was shown once a week in Korea.

"With the story we have to make it a little bit longer because the original version of the Koreanovela was shown once a week in Korea. So we have to make it longer and give more volume to its story," he said.

The entertainment press also noticed Richard's new look - he said that he wanted to change his look for this project as compared to previous show "Zorro" where he achieved an ancient look.

During the press launch, a VTR was shown in which Heart and Richard shared a kiss in the middle of the Plaza in Prague.

"I almost died in the middle of the Astronomical Clock. We were shooting and then suddenly they said that we need to kiss each other, so we were really shocked," Heart said.

"All the tourists were laughing and then after they started to clap their hands," Richard added.

The two also promised a light and romantic feel every GMA Telebabad.

"We will be their dessert," Heart said.

Richard added: There will be lightness, romance and fun in primetime."

Included in the cast are Patrick Garcia, Keempee de Leon, Epi Quizon, John Lapus, Sheena Halili, Raquel Villavicencio, Chariz Solomon, Marky Lopez, Ronaldo Valdez and Ms. Pilita Corrales.

Full house opens November 30 over GMA-7 Network. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex)
