In
the movie, Dingdong Dantes plays the character of Migs while Marian Rivera assumes the role
of a pretty and humble nurse named Joy.
Iza Calzado (not in photo) is also part of the movie
and she portrays the role of Bela—Migs's original girlfriend who decides to
migrate abroad together with her family.
Marian
cited One True Love as perhaps her
most daring role to date. "Hindi ako nagnana-nighties, ngayon nagna-nighties
ako," said Marian in describing her role in the movie as compared to the
characters she did in her previous TV shows Marimar
and Dyesebel.
The
alleged breakup of Dingdong and Karylle prompted speculation that perhaps
there's a third party involved. The culprit, Marian. But she insists that she and Dong are only good friends.
The director
of One True Love is Mac Alejandre. He explained that the film aims to explore the essence
of true love, no matter how extreme it is. "The film poses several questions.
Some questions are answered, some questions may not be answered. But some of
the questions, ang true love ba ay ‘yong pag-ibig na ipinaglalaban o ‘yong
pag-ibig na nagpaparaya?"
Both
Marian and Dingdong are unfazed by the so-called "sawa" factor in terms of
public acceptance. According to Marian, the roles they portray in the
film are a big departure from the what they did on primetime
television.
Direk Mac stressed that
Dingdong and Marian will assume mature roles in One TrueLove. In fact, part
of the script includes two love scenes which are said to be "pag-uusapan."
Playing
up to the rumor linking them as lovers in real life, Marian jokingly told
Dingdong the moment he acted sweet towards her, "Mag-syota na naman tayo niyan!"
Despite the rumor linking the two lead stars, Direk Mac proudly said that there was no "ilangan" between Dingdong and Marian
during the shoot. "Absolutely wala. And I think because they were well trained
for that."
Marian credited Direk
Mac's approach and expertise by saying, "Sa Dyesebel kasi, kiss lang kami, dito
kasi may mga atake na ginagawa si Direk Mac [Alejandre] na ginawa namin pero
dahil sa mga camera niya, kung paano niya iikot so mag-iiba talaga sa paningin
ng tao. Instead kasi na focus agad sa mukha, kunwari balikat muna. So, ginawa
niyang mas kapanapanabik siya at mas kaayaaya siyang panoorin, na parang hindi
bastos pero wow! Parang nakaka-in love."
