Will they live happily ever after?

Piolo Pascual, KC Concepcion and Zanjoe Marudo, stars of ABS-CBN’s Lovers in Paris

MANILA, Philippines - They found love at a perfect place, but they have yet to find out if they are truly the perfect pair.

In the Philippine remake of the 2004 Koreanovela hit Lovers in Paris, Vivian Vizcarra and Carlo Aranaz, played respectively by KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual, continue to embark on a difficult journey towards proving themselves worthy of the love they found in one of the most romantic cities in the world. However, Martin Aranaz Barrameda, played by Zanjoe Marudo, also remains determined to prove them wrong.

Whose love will come out victorious? Who would have to let love go? The verdict is in, but the revelation is yet to unfold. After a three-month run, the program is set to air its final telecast tonight. Will it be a happy ending? If it is, whose happy ending will it be?

Ironically, for everyone involved in the hit series, no happy ending could wipe away the sadness, now that production is about to come to a close. “Parang kailan lang nung nag-uumpisa pa lang kaming kilalanin and isa’t isa,” recalls the show’s director, FM Reyes. “Ang bilis talaga tumakbo ng oras kapag masaya sa set,” he adds.

Piolo says he has nothing but fond memories to take with him from his Lovers In Paris stint, especially from their shoot in Paris. This was the first time he truly enjoyed Paris, as he was given the chance to see it through the eyes of his leading lady. “Syempre lagi ko nang maaalala ‘yun tuwing mapupunta ako sa Paris,” Piolo admits.

KC, who finished her studies in Paris, is also thankful for the opportunity to come back and make her own series in her previous home, and in the company of people she had come to love. “Kung espesyal sa kanila yung time na yon, syempre mas espesyal yun sa akin,” confesses KC.

Even Zanjoe admits how sad he feels leaving this chapter in his career, which he fondly shared with some of the best actors among his contemporaries as well as a few established thespians in the industry like Christopher de Leon and Mark Gil. “Nakakalungkot talaga, lalo na kung naging close na kayong lahat sa isa’t isa. Pero hindi ko makakalimutan lahat ng natutunan ko sa kanila,” Zanjoe shares.

Lovers In Paris is Zanjoe’s first dramatic vehicle on Primetime Bida of ABS-CBN while it is KC’s first venture into a television series and her first team-up with Piolo.
