Saying Filipinos are big Hallyu fans is an understatement.
Our love for anything Korean can be seen in our choice of beauty products, our preferred dining experience, and down to the songs that are dominating our music charts. Our passion for it can also be seen in our obsession with K-dramas and -films.
But before that, Manila Bulletin Lifestyle got the chance to talk to one of the show’s stellar cast. Giving life and personality to the uber-relatable Fran is Gabby Padilla. First gracing the theater stage as a thespian, Gabby’s passion for her craft led her to explore acting in front of the camera. Since 2018, she has been part of indie films such as “Billie and Emma,” “Kalel 15,” and “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral,” among others.
During our chat with the actress, Gabby walked us through her “K-Love” journey, detailed her fondest memories on the set, and shared her view on Filipinos’ love for K-drama.It still feels very surreal being here. We worked on this for six weeks. We all lived with each other so we saw each other each day. There were a lot of bonded relationships by the end of filming. I look back and I have nothing but fondest memories.
Last year, talks about banning ‘Korean and other foreign-made movies in the country’ made the headlines. What’s your view on this? I think, no one benefits from limiting any kind of media, art forms, or any form of cultural experience. If anything, these enrich society or a person when you expose them to these experiences. Just give people the agency to choose what they want to consume. If there is anything that we can do from what we see in the Korean entertainment industry, it is to learn from them and see how important government support is when it comes to the arts industry.
