MANILA, Philippines, June 27 ------ After the successful TV partnership of loveteam David Licauco and Barbie Forteza that started in the period teleserye, “Maria Clara at Ibarra,” that wrapped up last year, it was just a matter of time before a project on the big screen was subsequently offered to them. The loveteam brings their undeniable chemistry for the first time to the big screen in the romantic-comedy, “That Kind of Love,” megged by director Catherine Camarillo, her sophomore outing slated to be shown starting July 10, following “Chances Are, You and I.” Barbie plays Mila, while David is Adam as they display their chemistry anew, this time on the big screen in “That Kind of Love.” Two people who are brought together by the quest of finding love.
Barbie, who’s turning 27 in July, plays Mila, a dating coach and psychologist, an independent and successful woman. She tries to help Adam, a successful and rich businessman in search for a special someone. But what happens if he falls for her, instead? The young loveteam flew to South Korea last February to shoot some scenes there. “That Kind of Love” was an entry to the Jinseo Arigato International Film Festival.
The film dropped its teaser trailer recently and many are anticipating the July playdate of director Catherine “CC” Camarillo project, written by her daughter Ellis Catrina Camarillo. Even if they are not romantically involved, Barbie and David have managed to make their screen partnership work. As most everyone knows, Barbie is romantically involved with actor Jak Roberto. Their seven-year relationship does not hinder the BarDa loveteam and is even going for the better. “I don’t really believe in the perfect timing,” said Barbie. “Even our loveteam really came unexpectedly. I think ‘timing’ is not the success of the BarDa loveteam. We are always just taking risks and working together very well and hopefully, the audience will respond positively.”
In terms of their loveteam, it was never about the timing. “It’s always the chemistry and the good partnership we’ve built and with ‘That Kind of Love,’ I feel like showing a feel-good rom-com is a good timing. Let’s say you’re stressed with work, this is the genre that you will really look for. So you can sleep well at night.” Deciding on this film, Barbie’s relationship with Jak was never a factor. “It’s always clear to me that my personal life is separated from my professional life,” she said. “At that time this project was offered to David and I, the BarDa loveteam was picking up.” “So David and I decided the film is a good follow-up project to ‘Maria Clara at Ibarra.’ This came before ‘Maging Sino Ka Man.’ We shot this last year in Korea. Everyone said yes right away. Everyone got on board right away. We were all very excited to do the film,” she added. “From direk Cathy, Pocket Media Productions, David and I, we were all looking forward to starting the film already. It took a year before this gets to be shown. We wanted to watch the film already. Nakaka kilig siya talaga.”
