After joining her mother Sharon Cuneta in the latter’s Mega Concert tour in the US, KC Concepcion is back to work on Lovers in Paris, her first teleserye which is scheduled to air in August on ABS-CBN. KC told ABS-CBN.com that taping for Lovers in Paris has been a great learning experience for her. “Parang against all odds ang situation naming lahat. This is my first teleserye pero lahat ng mga kasama ko, both actors and the production team, ang dami na nilang experiences sa paggawa teleserye. Sobrang ko silang tinitingala. I believe I’m learning from the best. Lahat ng Kapamilya stars na gumagawa ng teleserye e magagaling. They really show it. Humahanga ako sa kanila.”
Lovers in Paris is an adaptation of the popular Koreanovela of the same name. ABS-CBN has produced several top-rating teleserye adaptations like Kim Chiu’s My Girl, Bea Alonzo’s I Love Betty La Fea, and Angel Locsin’s Only You. For her part, KC admitted that she feels pressured to continue that winning streak. “We’re hoping for the best. Syempre ‘yung Only You ang lakas sa ratings. ‘Yung Betty La Fea successful din. Napag-uusapan na rin ‘yung bagong shows na makakatapat namin sa kabilang network. We’re all doing the best we can.”
However, KC clarified with ABS-CBN.com that she is not competing to surpass the success that Kim, Bea, and Angel have achieved with their respective teleseryes. “Kaming mga artista, we’re not here to compete naman with each other. Ang networks lang talaga ang nagko-compete. As artists we only do our best. We love the character na ginagampanan namin.”
The daughter of the Megastar promised the legions of ABS-CBN Primetime Bida followers that they will see a very different KC when Lovers in Paris debuts on TV. “Mahirap din ‘yung character ko kasi sobrang iba siya sa kung ano ‘yung nakikita sa akin ng mga tao. Madalas akong makita na nakabihis nang maganda, sa mga events at pictorials. Pero through my character in Lovers in Paris makikita niyo how I will try to reach out to a much broader audience. Iba ‘yung histura ko, galaw, mga pagdadaanan, lahat.”
The 24-year-old beauty added that she chose to make her own version of the character Vivian compared to that of the original Koreanovela. “Nung una pinapanood ko ‘yung Lovers in Paris pero naisip ko what if hindi ko na lang panoorin and gumawa ako ng sarili kong Vivian. Makikita niyo talaga na ibang-iba ako. Maingay, loka loka, makulit. Character talaga siya. Mestiza siyang Pilipina pero naging simple lang ang buhay. Hindi naging artista o beauty queen kaya maraming makaka-relate.”
