Currently playing: "Promdi" by Regine Velasquez
Just found out from my equally-frigid cousin that Regine was offered by GMA to do the Philippine version of Kim Sam Soon after not getting the role for Betty La Fea in ABS-CBN. I checked on the internet and found a lot of write ups and comments that Regine is way more okay to play Betty than Kim. I agree. I'd prefer to see Jolina Magdangal or Rufa Mae Quinto as Kim. Although I'm confident that Regine can carry the role the way Korean actress Kim Sun Ah justify the character of Kim, Regine has a natural ability to make the people laugh and love her. I just hope that GMA will be able to make a good remake of Kim right after they murdered MariMar with too much filipinism. But if I were Regine, I would consider doing a remake of Stairway to Heaven instead and leave Kim Sam Soon as Kim Sam Soon since pinoy cannot relate to the real meaning of her name since it's a Korean term for a country bumpkin (during the old times in Korea, a baby girl gets the name when a parent expects their third child as a boy), the name connotes humor so there's no way for a Philippine version to change the name into a Filipino translation, in fact, the name (the title) is the main focus of how the story evolves.Whatever! I think I'll swap my First Love of a Prince for a Kim Sam-Soon dvd next week with a better subtitles.
