- Yam Concepcion speaks about being second choice for the new KimXi reunion teleserye
- Love Thy Woman is Kim Chiu and Xian Lim’s reunion teleserye after the 2016 teleserye The Story Of Us
- Yam’s inclusion in Love Thy Woman comes less than a week after Erich Gonzales resigned from the show
Yam Concepcion is the newest addition to Kim Chiu and Xian Lim’s reunion series Love Thy Woman after Erich Gonzales backed out of the show.
Dreamscape Entertainment met with Yam Concepcion and her management Viva Artists Agency on July 30. Last July 25, news broke that Erich had backed out of the project. According to the news, Erich withdrew from Love Thy Woman because her character is being turned into a kontrabida, which was not discussed when the role was first pitched to her.
During the recently concluded VivaCon2019, LionhearTV asked Yam some details about her upcoming series Love Thy Woman. According to Yam, her role will be “very interesting” and she’ll be working for the very first time with some veteran actors like Eula Valdez and Christopher de Leon, and with the tandem of Kim Chiu and Xian Lim.
“Actually kinakabahan na naman ako dahil bago na naman. It’s another adjustment for me but I’m excited and I’m ready to take on the challenge,” she said.
When asked if she’s doing another kontrabida in this series, she clarified, “Hindi naman sa kontrabida, ayokong magbigay ng labels pero maganda ‘yung role. Mayaman naman ako rito. Iba naman.”
She also explained how she got the role, “Bago ko naman tinanggap ito, nagkaroon ng pitching sa Viva tapos inexplain nila sa akin ang nangyari, inexplain din nila sa akin ang istorya, ang character, pero humingi muna ako ng script para mabasa ko, tapos the next day nagdecide ako. Sige, trabaho lang ito at saka hello, KimXi ‘yan ‘di ba? Kumbaga, I want to work with other people, actors also, kasi ayun, sana may matutunan din ako. Ayun, completely different at saka Dreamscape ito, second time ko sa Dreamscape.”
Meanwhile, Yam doesn’t mind being the second choice after Erich Gonzales backed out from the Love Thy Woman soap. Yam also said that she is excited to work with Kim Chiu and Xian Lim.
