NAPAKAGANDA ng pasok ng 2018 para kay Lovi Poe. Simula pa lang ng taon, ipalalabas na ang primetime rom-com series na The One That Got Away ng GMA Network.Pinagbibidahan ito ng Kapuso Drama King na si Dennis Trillo at isa si Lovi sa leading ladies, kasama sina Rhian Ramos at Max Collins.
“I love 2017. Super-nice. It was travel and everything. It was very light and I learned a lot, meet new people and it was such a fantastic year and I’m looking forward to this year,” kuwento ng Premier Drama Actress.
Excited siya sa role niya sa TOTGA.
“I’m really excited to share the show to everybody because it’s... kakaiba ito. Very nice.”
Kuwento pa ni Lovi, “‘Yung pagiging normal when it comes to relationships kasi medyo extreme rito si Rhian, she’s like very quirky and very Samantha (played by Kim Cattrall in Sex In The City), very ganu’n siya. Whereas ‘yung character ko, she’s not very loud. Medyo normal. She’s bubbly and she’s super-gay lingo kung magsalita. May pagkaganu’n ‘yung character ko.”
Nilinaw ng award-winning actress na hindi kinopya ang TOTGA sa Sex In The City.
“Hindi ito patterned at all, so, it’s just like the fact that we talk about relationships, friendship and love and about all these things kaya they said it’s kinda like Sex In The City.
“I think the only reason they said it’s like Sex In The City because it talks all about, you know, it concerns about love and friendships and everything but then basically, it’s very different because it’s about exes who became friends,” paglilinaw ng dalaga.
Bakit niya tinanggap ang project samantalang mas gamay niya ang drama kaysa sa rom-com?
“I just want to do a project that is very, very light. It’s my first TV show na hindi drama plus I’m with good friends pa. I’m really excited to do these things,” maikling sagot ng aktres.
Excited din si Lovi to work with Dennis again.
“Parang nakakapanibago ulit kasi ‘yung last time namin was how many years ago and it was for a movie pa and this one is very light, so, it’s talagang very different especially I’m sharing it with someone like Dennis.”
Inaabangan na rin ng mga tagahanga ang mga intimate scene nila sa serye.
“Lahat kaming tatlo, may mga intimate scene. Siguro sa loob ng isang araw, merong tatlong ka-kiss si Dennis,” sabay tawag kuwento ng dalaga.
In real life, hindi pa siya nakapagsusuot ng wedding dress. Kelan ba ito mangyayari?
“Pero nakailang wedding dress na ako,” paglilinaw ng aktres, “bawat show yata sa GMA. “Wala pa talaga akong plans, wala talaga. And I don’t have a marrying age. I only have an ideal man but not an ideal marriage.”
What if biglang mag-propose ang boyfriend niyang si Chris Johnson ngayong taon?
“I donno,” mabilis na sagot. “It’s not yet part of the plan. Malayo pa. We’re very career-oriented. I’m a career-oriented and we’re on the same page regarding that.”
Hindi ba nila napag-uusapan ng kanyang Filipino-French boyfriend ang tungkol sa kasal?
“We don’t talk about it. I don’t think it’s something that I’m ready to talk about, I mean, bacause if some people would try to talk about it, I would be squirming away. Just kidding. I’m just kidding.
“It’s normal naman na may pahaging pero sasabihin ko, ‘Ano’ng kakainin natin?’ No, I’m just kidding. Joke lang but of course, it will happen naman. If it’s gonna happen, it’ll gonna happen. I’m open to that but not now.”
Follow-up namin, But you’re not getting younger!’
“But I’m getting wiser!” sagot agad ni Lovi.
Ang TOTGA ay mapapanood simula ngayong Lunes at kasama rin sa series sina Snooky Serna, Bembol Roco, Ervic Vijandre, Migo Adecer, Jason Abalos, Jason Francisco, Ayra Mariano, Ashley Rivera at maraming iba pa mula sa direksyon nina Mark de la Cruz at Conrado Peru.
