Barbie Forteza and David Licauco’s heartfelt social media exchange following the conclusion of their series ‘Maging Sino Ka Man’ has left fans hopeful for more romantic moments, despite a somewhat underwhelming ending.

In a Twitter exchange, Barbie and David expressed their mutual appreciation for their work on the show. David praised Barbie’s performance and sought some acting tips from her, to which she responded with compliments, expressing her pride in his efforts. The interaction between the two stars on social media delighted their dedicated fans.

However, not everything about the show’s ending left fans in high spirits, particularly a scene involving an on-screen kiss between the lead actors. Viewers noted that the kiss in question lacked the genuine passion they had hoped for. They pointed out that during a wedding scene, David appeared to avoid kissing Barbie on the lips, instead opting to kiss his own thumb, creating an awkward impression.

Disappointed fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the matter:

In response to her fans’ feedback, Barbie lightheartedly created a hashtag, #MSKMLumapatBa (Did the kiss land?). Despite the disappointment in the kiss scene, it is evident that fans’ love for the BarDa (Barbie and David) pair remains unwavering.

Fans are already looking forward to the next project featuring the two actors. Some fans encouraged them to do even better in their upcoming endeavors.

Reports suggest that an upcoming teleserye featuring BarDa is in the works, although their movie project was not selected for the MMFF 2023. The new series, rumored to be titled ‘Pulang Araw,’ is expected to be another historical drama, akin to “Maria Clara at Ibarra,” which initially catapulted their love team to stardom.

Fans are optimistic that future projects will offer more substantial and authentic romantic moments from the beloved pair.
