Bukod sa pagiging excited na makatrabaho si Kapuso actress Heart Evangelista, inihayag ni 'My Korean Jagiya' leading man Alexander Lee na bukas daw siya sa paggawa ng Filipino drama.
Sa pagsisimula ng taping para sa kaniyang serye, sinabi ni Alexander na masaya raw siya sa kanyang bagong working environment dito sa Pilipinas.
"I am enjoying everything. Nice food. Nice people. Working environment is good. Perfect," sabi ni Alexander nang mag-courtesy call kay GMA Network Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon sa GMA Network Center nitong Biyernes.
Natutuwa raw siya sa pagtutulungan ng mga Pinoy at mga Korean para sa mga bago at kakaibang proyekto tulad ng "My Korean Jagiya."
"When I first got the project, I saw that the story lines are interesting and the most important thing is, Filipinos and Koreans working together. It's [part of] history, you know? It's something new, never done before so I was very excited," aniya.
"The most important thing is GMA, I worked with them long time ago when I was in U-KISS. And I've had a really good impression. So when I saw the project, it's meaningful, it's cross-cultural.
"And last but not the least, Heart Evangelista! You know. I definitely was really excited. I said yes to the project," dagdag pa ng Korean actor.
"Koreans produce very good movies and TV programs. So this is our chance to show our Filipino viewers what our station can do if we are partnering with the best of the producers in the TV industry," ani Atty. Gozon.
Ibinahagi din ni Alexander ang mga napansin niyang pagkakaiba ng Pinoy drama sa Korean drama.
"I would say that Filipino drama is very sentimental and it's very free. Korean drama is very structured, but Filipino drama has more freedom, it's more loose. They could just express themselves very well."
Sabi ni Alexander, masaya raw siya sa malaya siyang naihahayag ang kanyang sarili sa paggawa ng Philippine-Korean dramaserye.
"It's really good. Even now when filming, Director Mark (Reyes) and everybody allowed me to use my own words and to express myself. Because in Korea, you have to memorize every single word. In here, you're given more freedom. It's really nice to do that."
Bukas naman si Alexander sa pananatili sa Pilipinas, lalo na kung maging matagumpay ang kaniyang serye.
"If 'My Korean Jagiya' does well, I'm willing to stay here longer. Do more shows here. And I hope that Filipino audience will love me."
Si Alexander ay dating miyembro ng South Korean boy band na U-KISS. Bumida siya sa "3 Peas in a Pod," "Immortal Masterpiece," at "Moorim School." — AT, GMA News
