So, it's Mark Anthony already...Well, all I can say is pwedeng pwede sya role and it will be fun seeing new people give life to MNIKSS.

**marae13** · 04-20-2008, 12:33 AM

kasama rin daw sa local version si Hayden Co. wala akong nakikitang chemistry between Regine and Mark

meg25 · 04-20-2008, 05:59 AM

Well, I just want to wait and see.

My Girl will premiere in ABS CBN on May 4th. Tapos ang MNIKSS will start shooting ata by May.

**marae13** · 04-20-2008, 07:11 AM

meg- according sa newspaper, May 1 pa sila magstastart ng shooting ng local MNIKSS

**L i N d $ @ y** · 04-20-2008, 07:12 AM

May 4 na ang My Girl? parang wala pa akong nakikitang trailer ah. but that's because i don't watch anything local nga diba?

okay so di na si Trillo but si Mark Anthony na ang partner ni Regine?

**Mrs. Somerhalder** · 04-20-2008, 09:08 AM

Wow ang lapit na pala ng My Girl! Pero wala pa rin akong nakikitang trailer, or meron na ba? Baka di lang natin talaga nakikita Linds.

Yung dun sa pinost ko na actors na mag play sa parts sa Kim Sam Soon pinoy version, nabasa ko lang din siya sa forum, so di ko pa rin sure kung gaano ka-credible ang info na yan. Hehehe

**L i N d $ @ y** · 04-20-2008, 09:43 AM

baka nga di lang natin nakikita ung trailer. ako talaga malamang di nga at di ako nood ng local channels.

meg25 · 04-20-2008, 09:42 PM

Nope wala pang trailer ng My Girl, kasi di ba ang dami pang new shows ng ABS that they will be launching, like Maligno..where in kasama rin si Kim and Gerald. They did mention that My Girl is May 4th

**L i N d $ @ y** · 04-21-2008, 06:50 AM

yun ata ung nakita kong trailer, Maligno. so ibig sabihin matagal pa ang My Girl?

**Mrs. Somerhalder** · 04-21-2008, 08:46 AM

Ah yeah may nakita na ako trailer ng Maligno (at nandon din pala si Kim and Gerald huh).

Linds: May 4th na daw My Girl although wala pa trailer. Baka this week maglabas na sila since lapit na May 4.

Here's the original news regarding remake of MNIKSS..

GMA Network, one of the leading TV networks in the Philippines, has acquired the rights to make a local version of My Lovely Samsoon. The original version of the drama, which starred Kim Sun-ah and Hyunbin, was aired by the channel in 2006.

Singer/actress Regine Velasquez is set to portray the titular character Sam-soon, who is a 30-year-old patissier looking for love.

Tackling the role of Jin-heon (played by Hyunbin in the original) is Mark Anthony Fernandez.
