Kyline Alcantara and Kate Valdez are raising the stakes in GMA Network’s newest teleserye, the Philippine adaptation of the popular Korean drama ‘Shining Inheritance,’ with their intense and realistic fight scenes.
In this highly anticipated series, Kyline takes on the role of the kontrabida, bringing tension and drama to Kate’s character through numerous gripping confrontation scenes. Fans can expect powerful performances from both actresses, who are set to deliver scenes that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
During the media conference for ‘Shining Inheritance’ held last Friday, August 30, Kyline shared her thoughts on returning to a kontrabida role, a part she once found to be her comfort zone.
“Sobra-sobra po ‘yung pressure kasi katulad nga po ng sinasabi ko before, dati comfort zone ko po ang pagiging kontrabida. Pero ngayon po, hindi na, so kinakabahan po ako kung paano siya i-a-accept ng ating mga Kapuso,” Kyline admitted, looking stunning and confident.
Interestingly, Kyline herself requested to return to a kontrabida role, expressing how much she missed the challenge it presents. In ‘Shining Inheritance,’ she plays Joanna De La Costa, a character she describes as deeply complex.
“Joanna is really complicated, sobra. Mabait naman po si Joanna pero may mga ginagawa lang po talaga siya na hindi maganda. And Joanna’s feisty, she’s aggressive also. At isa sa mga hindi magandang nagagawa ni Joanna ay naging feisty and aggressive din po siya pagdating sa lola niya (played by Coney Reyes),” Kyline explained.
The actress also talked about how she and Kate prepare for their physically demanding scenes. “Yakapan muna po, pag-uusapan namin, ‘Tototohanin ba natin?’ Pero sa amin po kasing dalawa ni Kate, gusto talaga namin mas totoo para tagos na tagos sa screen ng ating mga Kapuso,” she said.
Despite their professionalism, the physical nature of the scenes sometimes leads to minor injuries. “Pero siyempre, aaminin ko naman po, may moments talaga na ‘di namin maiwasang magkasakitan. Pero kaming dalawa ni Kate, we’re really professional. So alam namin na trabaho ‘to,” Kyline noted.
‘Shining Inheritance,’ directed by Jorron Lee Monroy, will premiere on September 9 on GMA Afternoon Prime. The series also stars Michael Sager, Paul Salas, Wendell Ramos, Glydel Mercado, Aubrey Miles, Roxie Smith, Seth Dela Cruz, and Charlize Ruth Reyes.
