Apart from her regular hosting gigs in It’s Showtime, Anne Curtis will finally star in a teleserye after a decade.
Curtis will lead the Philippine adaptation of the popular 2021 Korean drama It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, which originally starred Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Yea Ji, and Oh Jung Se. She portray the iconic Ko Moon Young, while Joshua Garcia and Carlo Aquino will portray Kim and Oh’s characters, respectively.
The three couldn’t hide their excitement about being a part of the highly-anticipated series, especially Curtis who is a big fan of the original series.
“When they offered this to me, it was an instant yes because I love the original. I couldn’t let it pass,” Curtis said during the series’ press conference.
“The moment I watched the series in 2021, I called my manager in Viva and asked her if I do a series again, I think I would like to do It’s Okay to Not Be Okay,” she added.
Curtis also revealed that she sees herself as the fictional character: “You see it in how she dresses and how she changes her hair, how she speaks, how she controls her emotions how she goes through the process, pati ‘yung mga outburst niya sabi ko ‘I can see myself,’ so I think it was a light bulb moment and she can be relatable to so many. And maybe I recognize and I acknowledge that in myself also.”
