Kimerald returns on television via ‘Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin’
A DECADE after they topbilled their first teleserye together, Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson's undeniable onscreen chemistry is still there.
Chiu and Anderson, famously known together as Kimerald, were all smiles on Monday evening when they faced the entertainment media for the grand press launch of their newest series "Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin".
Both actors looked comfortable with each other even though it took them some time to work again in one project.
"Wala ng wall. Kung meron man, siguro hindi namin ito gagawin. Hindi din magiging maganda yung produkto namin," said the Cebuana actress.
Anderson said that it's like 2007 all over again when they headlined "Sana Maulit Muli," their first teleserye on ABS-CBN. But this time, he said, they've both matured as actors.
“Ang dami na naming napagdaanan at natutunan on a personal and professional level,” he said.
The two admitted that there were awkward moments when they started taping for the project, but they were able to overcome it.
"Una awkward talaga kasi hindi naman kami super friends nito. 'Hi, hello' lang naman talaga kami sa 'ASAP'. Medyo awkward din sa mga tao sa harap namin, lalo nung una kasi alam naman nila yung nangyari sa amin at yung mga hindi kagandahang ganap. Pero okay na ngayon,” Chiu said.
Anderson also admitted that when they were paired with other actors in the industry, he knew deep inside that it's only a matter of time before he'll work again with Chiu.
He said that with their loyal following, the fans deserve another Kimerald project.
"Ang tagal na din namin na hindi nagsama. At the end of the day, alam ko na it's inevitable na magkakasama ulit kami. Maraming sumuporta sa amin para hindi pagbigyan yung fans.
