An Advanced Birthday Gift
After securing the franchise for the 2006 hit Korean series “My Girl” from South Korea’s SBS, ABS-CBN formally announced Kim Chiu to be the lead role in hit tv series. This type of collaboration between two giant television networks is a first between the two Asian countries.
Kim will play the role of Yoo Rin, also known as Jasmine by Filipino fans which was originally played by Lee Da Hae. Kim Chiu’s hopes have materilaized as the role of Gong Chan a.k.a. Julian, which was originally played by Lee Dong Wook, will be played by his love team, Gerald Anderson.
Kim Chiu, the first Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition winner shed tears of happiness when the formal announcement was given in the presscon for the start of the new season for Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus and Pinoy Dream Academy. The cast has just recently participated in a photo shoot for Star Studio magazine in promotion for the said series. The show will be aired sometime this year.

For a newbie, Kim is getting a lot of good offers. No doubt, Kim is pretty with a fresh personality. But let’s face it: She just looks the same in every angle I see her in. She’s no good in drama. I can’t possibly understand what she says (must be because she has the Chinese accent) and her crying scenes are not that convincing. Sigh.
Lee Da Hae of My Girl gave a GREAT PERFORMANCE. It was really superb that I felt happy when she was happy and I even felt sad for her when she was crying. I do not think Kim is capable of stirring the emotions of the viewers like the original can (no offense). With the acting skills she is showing now, it is VERY DOUBTFUL that she can pull off the acting versatility LDH showed.
Gerald is more like a tag-along. If Kim plays the lead role, there should be no leading man other than Gerald Anderson. I find this disappointing. Gerald is even WORSE than Kim. And I’m being really kind already with that comment.
I really hoped that ABS-CBN would get a better and more experienced actress for this venture. My Girl is a great KDRAMA and I don’t want it to be butchered. Toni Gonzaga would’ve been a MUCH BETTER choice but oh well. ABS-CBN is just counting on the KIMERALD tandem to work its magic. I just hope that it does not lose its charm.
Best wishes to the Kapamilya station anyway…! CHEERS!
(P.S.: It was GMA 7 network who first proposed a collaboration between Korean and remaking a drama. They were planning out since early-mid 2007 in case you did’n know.)
