Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Kimerald to do another Asian remake?
PEOPLE laughed, tickled, and fell in love with the tandem of Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson in their recently ended local adaptation of Korean hit series "My Girl."
Although the two had their final bow last month, the public is still craving for more Kimerald (term coined by fans from Kim and Gerald).
Unconfirmed reports said that Kim and Gerald will again light up the small screen to do another popular Asian series, this time not from Korea but from Taiwan - "Hana Kimi."
Hana Kimi, which is a Taiwanese remake from a Japanese manga, starred Taiwanese heartthrob Wu Chun (who played Bryan) and superstar Ella Chen (Joey). It ran on ABS-CBN from March to June 2008 and had turned to be a mania when Wu Chun and his co-star Calvin Chen visited the country.
Although ABS-CBN has no confirmation if this project would really push through, the Kimerald fans are keeping their fingers crossed and eagerly wait to see their most-loved tandem on the Primetime block the second time around.
For now, what is 100 percent sure is that Kim and Gerald will be in the Sunday afternoon presentation of "Your Song: My Only Hope."
They are accompanied by their co-stars in "My Girl," namely: Enchong Dee, Nina Jose, Regine Angeles, David Chua, and Alex Gonzaga.
In the story, Gerald is Keemo, a rich guy who has a dark past. April, played by Kim, is his opposite - cheerful and has a positive look in life.
Two promising celebrities Enchong, as the cook Jhun, and Keemo's girlfriend Jessie, played by Nina will compete for their attention.
For the series, these young stars have their "actor reinvention."
Gerald trades his wholesome image for a very edgy haircut and rugged look.
Enchong, from rich preppy boy, is now a "jologs" chef. The "perfect beauty queen" Nina now has a scar on her face.
"Your Song Presents: My Only Hope" is expected to air on the first week of October after the mid-December love affair mini-series of John Prats and Aiko Melendez. (JRDB/Sunnex)
