In Miss You Like Crazy, Bea Alonzo plays a receptionist in a Malaysian hotel while John Lloyd Cruz works for the company owned by the family of his girlfriend, played by Maricar Reyes.
Malaysian actor, writer, producer, and director Hans Isaac
is all praise for Miss You Like Crazy director Cathy Garcia-Molina: "She is a
passionate director and you are lucky to have her in the Philippines."
In the movie, Malaysian actor Hans Isaac (second from left) plays a businessman with royal blood.
He helped the family of Bea Alonzo's character financially, making her reluctant to break up with the guy even though she's still in love with the character of John Lloyd Cruz.
At the cast party, Bea Alonzo mentioned her upcoming project with Gretchen
Barreto, and she joked that she would pale in comparison to the beautiful
actress. "Hindi mangyayari yun, sa hikaw mo pa lang!?" teased John
Lloyd.
Bea then quipped, "Kaya ako naghihikaw na ng ganito!"
Gretchen Barretto showed her support for Bea Alonzo, her co-star in an upcoming ABS-CBN soap opera. The role of Bea was initially intended for Claudine Barretto but the latter decided to transfer to GMA-7.
