On October 31, actress Kim Chiu recalled her anxiety and fears about taking on a gray role.
At the Linlang Thanksgiving Media Conference, which LionhearTV covered, Chiu discussed how she felt anxious about the response of viewers about her role as Juliana.
“‘Yung una nating pagkikita with the press, sabi ko sa kanila, sabi nila, ‘Anong fear mo?’ Sabi ko ang fear ko, hindi siya suportahan ng mga tao. ‘Yun talaga ‘yung kinakatakot ko kasi first time ko gumawa ng black role or gray role na hindi dark role na hindi ko naman usually ginagawa ever.
“And first time ko ever na sumugal. Sabi ko, sige try ko kasi ilang taon na rin naman ako. Kung ano man ang maging resulta. Pero, siyempre, gusto ko resulta maging maganda. Ayun nagdasal naman ako sa lahat ng mga santo. Okay naman siya.”
She then noted how happy she felt with the response of viewers to her performance as Juliana.
“And then sobrang happy ako and nagulat talaga ako na napaghiwalay nila si Juliana at si Kim Chiu. Parang ‘yung sabi nila, ‘Kim, mahal na mahal kita, pero galit na galit ako kay Juliana.’ ‘Yung parang, aww thank you so much.”
She also cited some of the messages she got from her fans, supporters, and ‘Linlang’ viewers.
“Oo may mga gifts sa akin. Tsaka ‘yung comment box ko sa Instagram naging group chat na siya ng Juliana haters na kahit nasa ano lang ako– nagro-roller coaster, ‘Uy wag kang nagro-roller coaster, kasi buntis ka.’ Ganon, ‘yung malalaglag ‘yung bata. ‘Oy pasyal ka ng pasyal diyan sa ibang bansa, si Victor at si Abie napapabayaan mo.’ Aw totoo na ‘to. Oo, ‘yung kasama na naman si Alex. Nakakatuwa ‘yung parang ‘yung experience nila sa show.”
