Kim Chiu is undoubtedly the Princess of Primetime television. Hit after hit she continues to reign night time viewing here and TV sets with TFC abroad. Now comes another feather in her illustrious hat in a series called "My Binondo Girl". True enough it's difference with her other projects were evident in day 1. Initially we thought it was Zanjoe Marudo on the tarpaulin but they told us it was actually Kim Chiu! Really?! OMG!
It's a story of a young Filipino Chinese gal named JADE that tried to gain the respect of her Chinese Dad who wanted only his son not knowing he already died years ago. To do this, Kim Chiu had to play the role of a guy promptly named YUAN in order to initially get her Mom and Grandma out of jail then it snowballed as the Dad introduced him to society as his son. This is where the conflict begins.
Kim said she really had a hard time learning how to play the role of a guy but she's been blessed that there are several veteran actresses in the cast that guided her. They did not hold back in giving her recommendations on how to deliver because all she wanted to do was to make this comeback TV show at par with the other successful shows she's done with ABS CBN. I asked her about how she feels some of the fans are still not that happy about Gerard and her parting ways but she said she can't please everybody. She is still very good friends with him and he supports her in whatever she does, just knowing that means a lot to her so it's not all a loss. That's good to know and I hope some of the sad fans find good in that. She said countless times that she is willing to work with him again. She also supports Gerald's show in the same channel.
She really had fun shooting with 3 of her leading men in this flick. Jolo Revilla was extra giving and generous to everyone in the set she mentions. Xian Lim was so nice and they had a great time in their Hong Kong-Macau shooting days. She specially loved the friendship she has now with Matteo Gudicceli because she took advantage of their Cebuano heritage, they talked for countless hours and people almost went out of place because they stayed speaking in that dialect for a long time while shooting. She's excited for everyone to know that this will come out soon on ABSCBN this August.
