MANILA, June 19 ------ Kapamilya actress Kim Chiu is taking the “ukay” culture of Filipinos a notch higher as she is set to star in the upcoming series “Fit Check: Confessions of an Ukay Queen” on Amazon Prime Video.
Chiu will be leading the cast of the comedy-drama series in the international streaming platform that will start airing on July 6 in more than 240 countries and territories across the world. “Fit Check” follows the story of Melanie (Chiu) who sells ukay clothes through her father's business Ukay King. However, she suffered a huge blow when a fire gutted their store which put her in debt. Looking for a way to get back on track, Melanie crosses paths with Chris (Jake Ejercito), who happens to be a fashion executive looking for aspiring designers for his business.
As she steps into the fast-paced and cutthroat world of Filipino fashion, she also finds herself on a journey towards self-awareness, empowerment, forgiveness, and the possibility of true love. “We want to create a hiqh-quality, entertaining show that not only delves into themes of love and family drama, but also female empowerment and self-discovery. It showcases the determination and resilience required to succeed in a competitive industry,” Cory Vidanes, COO for Broadcast of ABS-CBN, said in a press statement.
Joining Chiu and Ejercito in the series are Angel Aquino, Kylie Verzosa, and Christopher De Leon. Nuel Naval is directing the series with a script from Genesis Rodriguez.
