“Pareho kami natuwa sa isa’t-isa,” admitted Maja. “Even if he spoke very little English, he was fun to talk to, may sense pa rin siya kausap. I had to talk to him slowly at hindi kelangan ‘yung hindi malalalim na words ang gamitin.” Maja’s call time was 5 a.m. and that of Kim Bum was after lunch.
“When he arrived on set, he would ask me, ‘Are you tired?’ Sabi ko, ‘Yes.’ Then he would say, ‘But you’re still pretty.’ Marunong mambola. Hehehehe! And then he would smile; kakaiba ang smile niya, nakakawala ng pagod.”
Recently aired on ABS-CBN, Boys Over Flowers is the Korean version of Meteor Garden, the popular Chinovela starring the F4 guys. Kim Bum and the other BOF guys are Korea’s answer to Taiwan’s F4.
“Hindi niya akalain na ganoon ang fans dito,” said Maja. “In Korea daw kasi, hindi ganoon kainit ang pagtanggap. Here daw, he could feel the fans’ love and support. He asked me if I would go to Seoul if there’s a chance and I teased him, ‘Only if you invite me’.”
Maja said that on the set, Kim Bum was playful.
“One time, it was drizzling and he heard people saying, ‘O, payong, payong!’ Ginagaya-gaya niya, ‘Payong, payong!’ and then asked me what payong means. I said, ‘Umbrella’ and he nodded. Korean food was served on the set pero hindi siya choosy. Kung ano ang pagkain, kinakain niya. Simple lang siya; walang kaartehan sa katawan.”
Kim Bum, 20, will soon be seen in Dream, another Koreanovela to be aired also on ABS-CBN. Maja is starring (with Coco Martin, Jason Abalos and Nikki Gil) in the ABS-CBN’s Nagsimula sa Puso, a TV remake of the 1990 movie directed by Mel Chionglo and starring Jay Ilagan, Hilda Koronel, Armida Siguion-Reyna and Richard Gomez.
