Erich Gonzales conveyed a stoic emotion from the sidelines of what was supposed to be a merry wedding scene.

In an interview last April, she said her role in the movie is a broken-hearted pastry chef who's jaded about love and relationships.

That is, until she meets a Thai guy "who will change my life and so that's where the magic begins."

Mario Maurer's character doesn't stray far from reality as he plays the role of a Thai superstar named Marcus.

Like Erich's pastry chef, Marcus has also turned into a weary soul because of his superficial celebrity lifestyle.

"One day he just decided he wants to go somewhere, like the Philippines, and that's when the magic starts," he said in a previous interview with PEP.

Onscreen, Mario and Erich really are a good-looking pair.

But even before rumors about their getting romantically involved started flying, Erich dismissed the possibility.

Suddenly It's Magic was shot in the Philippines and in Thailand.

Many of the scenes were filmed in Paoay and Laoag City, Ilocos Norte.

The movie is set to come out later this year.

This captured moment of Mario staring at Erich would surely drive the MarRich (Mario-Erich love team) fans crazy!

As they developed friendship while shooting the movie, Erich and Mario became each other's translator.

Even Joross Gamboa got chummy with the local talents in the movie.
