Inamin ni Yam Concepcion sa presscon ng upcoming series, Pure Love, co-starring her with Alex Gonzaga, Yen Santos, Arjo Atayde, Matt Evans, and Joseph Marco, na nagkaroon sila ng relasyon ni Ejay Falcon, while they were doing the series Dugong Buhay, were Arjo played a kontrabida.
But obviously, pagkatapos ng airing ng Dugong…, kasabay ding nagtapos ang kanilang naramdaman sa isa’t isa.
Dito sa Pure Love, makakasamang muli nina Yam hindi lang si Arjo kung hindi si Sunshine Cruz din. Pumapel sa Dugong Buhay bilang ina nina Ejay at Arjo si Sunshine.
Asked about what to her is pure love, sagot ni Yam, siguro raw one’s feeling for the Almighty. At kung ano sa akala niya pagtinging nararamdaman niyang mayroon ang Panginoon sa kanya.
For Yam, nothing can beat the purest of love na ipinararamdam sa isang tao ng Diyos.
Inamin ni Yam na, at one time, she felt lost. Nang muli lang daw matagpuan niya ang Panginoon at saka feeling niyang ‘‘nabuhay’’ siyang muli.
Directed by Veronica Velasco, Pure Love is an adaptation of a Korean nobela na sinusubaybayan ng mga Pilipino, kabilang na si Alex, aniya.
‘‘Kaya, nang malaman ko na magkakaroon ng Tagalog version, I kept hoping na mapasama ako,’’ pag-amin ni Alex.
Ito ang bale pang-apat na programa ni Alex as she is also co-host to Luis Manzano in the top-rating reality show, The Voice Kids, and the gag shows, Banana Nite and Banana Split Extra Scoop.
Wonder if matutuloy din siyang co-host ng kanyang Ate Toni (Gonzaga) at nina Bianca Gonzales, Robi Domingo, at John Prats sa existing edition ng Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) All in.

Ganunpaman ’di si Julia ang magiging leading-lady niya. Instead si Liza Soberano, who was his partner sa Bea Alonzo-Dingdong Dantes blockbuster starrer, She’s the One.
In the movie, matindi ang naging chemistry ng dalawa. Kaya, obviously, napansin ng Star Cinema.

Huling napanood si Liza sa top series na Got to Believe, top billed by the popular love team nina Kathryn Bernardo at Daniel Padilla.
