On August 22, Kapuso actress Yasmien Kurdi highlighted how ‘The Missing Husband’ was fit for the streaming platform Netflix.
At the media conference of ‘The Missing Husband,’ which LionhearTV covered, Kurdi emphasized the quality of their series and how it could compete internationally.
“I think ang The Missing Husband, it’s very modern. Kasi kung makikita mo– nakakita na ako ng kaunting pakita ng aming pilot episode. Para siyang pang-Netflix, parang pang international ang gawa, in fairness. Hindi mo nga malalaman kung ano ang hapon at ano ang gabi, kasi pareho ang quality, pareho ang lahat, I mean maganda ang quality, I mean Direk Mark Reyes yan siyempre.”
She also noted the work their director, Mark Reyes, put into the project.
“Ako isa ‘yun talaga sa nagpapayag sa akin. It’s because of Direk Mark Reyes. Alam kong quality, dadalhin niya sa hapon. And makikita talaga ‘yun sa show namin.
“Gusto ko talaga ‘yung execution, kung paano siya. Parang siyang– para siyang K-drama na Filipino, pero ang linis-linis ng lahat, pero nandoon lahat ng emotions. It’s very different for Dramarama sa Hapon, kasi akala mo Telebabad ang pinapanood mo at hindi Afternoon Prime.”
She also noted her hands-on involvement in translating the Arabic language they had in the series.
“When it comes to Arabic translations, yes kasi noong pinadala sa akin ng mga PA, ang daming ipapa-translate, sabi ko pupunta na lang ako sa GMA, nandito lang naman ako nagte-taping ako that time for Sarap Diva, and Unang Hirit, alam ko marami akong ginawa that day.
“Nandito lang naman ako sa GMA, akyat na lang ako sa fourth floor. So ayun nakita ko ‘yung editing crew, na-miss ko na ‘yung editing booth sa GMA Fourth Floor, kasi ‘yun ‘yung tambayan ng Starstruck days ‘yung Fourth floor na ‘yun, habang nag-eedit sila for Starstruck.”
‘The Missing Husband’ stars Rocco Nacino, Yasmien Kurdi, Joross Gamboa, Sophie Albert, and Jak Roberto.
The cast also features Max Eigenmann, Michael Flores, Bryce Eusebio, Cai Cortez, Mark Herras, Nadine Samonte, and Patricia Coma.
Under the direction of Mark Reyes, ‘The Missing Husband,’ airs on August 28 on GMA Afternoon Prime.
