Pinoy remake of hit Korean drama 'Stairway to Heaven' returns to GMA Afternoon Prime

Prepare to cry over the love story of Jodi and Cholo once again as the Pinoy remake of "Stairway to Heaven" returns to GMA Afternoon Prime on Monday.

It will temporarily replace "Prima Donnas" at 3:25 pm as tapings of GMA-7 entertainment programs were suspended amid the threat of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

In Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras," lead actors Dingdong Dantes and Rhian Ramos reminisced about their portrayal of the hit Korean drama series.

"Makikita mo talaga 'yung popularity ng kuwento 'Stairway to Heaven,' napaka-timeless niya talaga," Rhian said.

"Kahit 'yung mga nauuso na Koreanovela ngayon, tulad ng 'Crash Landing [On You],' nababanggit 'yung kuwento ng Stairway to Heaven," she added.

One of the North Korean soldiers in CLOY is a fan of Choi Ji Woo (Jodi), who made a cameo as herself in the series.

Dingdong said he hopes the audience will appreciate the remake again 11 years after it first aired on GMA.

"Hindi man mapapanod ang 'Descendants of the Sun' na gawang Koreano rin, ito isa na namang Korean remake na 'Stairway to Heaven,'" he said. —MGP, GMA News
