Xian Lim is starring in a Kapuso primetime show. And no less than Jennylyn Mercado will be his co-star.
In a Zoom press con on Tuesday, Xian talked about his excitement to be paired with Jennylyn and also revealed that his mother, lola and girlfriend Kim Chiu are all happy for his new project.
He said his supportive mom and lola jumped for joy when they learned of the good news. Kim was as enthusiastic, said Xian.
“Nung binanggit ko sa kanya (Kim), natuwa siya. Pinalakpakan pa nya ako,” he related.
“We’re really passionate sa lahat ng proyekto na ginagawa namin ang to be given a project sa ibang network, ibang makakasama, it’s such a happy feeling sa aming dalawa.”
In the upcoming primetime series “Love. Die. Repeat.,” “Ultimate Star” Jennylyn Mercado takes on the role of Angela Zafra, a woman who is stuck reliving the day of her husband’s death over and over again.
Known for the many hats he wears — an actor, model, host, and director — Xian is set to portray the character of Bernard Yuzon, Angela’s husband, a civil engineer who works in a company that renovates old houses. He plans on starting his own business/construction company for his family’s future.
The talented actor voices his gratitude to the Kapuso Network for entrusting him the series, “It feels wonderful to be a part of this series na ‘Love. Die. Repeat.’ and I feel grateful sa GMA Network na nabigyan nila ako ng pagkakataon to be part of this project.”
Xian also expressed his enthusiasm to take on the role of Bernard and to work with new faces from the Network, “First page pa lang ng script, gustong-gusto ko na. I’m a huge fan of the genre ng time loop. Unang basa ko pa lang ng script, tuwang-tuwa at excited na ako sa tatahakin ng characters naming lahat. I’ve worked with a couple of people already in this series but the rest of the cast, ngayon ko pa lang makakatrabaho. In terms of accepting the project, the material is really fun and exciting for everyone to watch. At the same time, noong nakita ko ‘yung mga makakasama kong artists, they look really fun to be with and magja-jive kaming lahat to make this project great.”
It’s an exciting project indeed for both the Network and the lead stars as they headline this ground-breaking project with their fresh pairing for the very first time on the small screen.
