Confirmed na ang collaboration ng ABS-CBN at GMA sa series na Unbreak My Heart na pagbibidahan ng ilan sa kanilang biggest stars.
The series is presented by Dreamscape Entertainment Production, and directed by Dolly Dulu and Emmanuel Quindo Palo.
Aside from casting showbiz's big-ticket stars, the show will feature stars who are making a comeback in the limelight.
Pak na pak din ang cinematography ng series, lalo pa na some of the scenes are shot in Italy and Zurich, Switzerland.
Other shows na produkto rin ng collab ng dalawang networks ang Love Before Sunrise, starring Dennis Trillo at Bea Alonzo, and The Write One, starring Ruru Madrid and Bianca Umali.
Kahit hindi pa nila puwedeng i-reveal ang maseselang details ng Unbreak My Heart cast at ang magiging takbo ng kuwento at this point, sinisiguro nila sa mga manonood na kakaiba ang project na ito kumpara sa mga nagawa na nila dati.
It’s a combination of a love story and suspense thriller, ayon kay Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, GMA senior vice-president for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Groups.
“Napakaganda ng istorya, maraming twists and turns… It's not just a love story, medyo may pagka-suspense rin. So, maraming aabangan ang ating viewers para rito sa Unbreak My Heart,” aniya sa kanyang statement sa isang article na published ng GMA Network last January 24, 2023.
Main Unbreak My Heart cast
Richard Yap
Richard will take on the role of Matt Tansengco Zhang. Wala pang solid na description for his role based on the first trailer, but his character seems to be a strict and imposing person.
Makikita rin natin sa trailer na he is a very jealous man.
Aside from his phenomenal break as Sir Chief sa Be Careful With My Heart (2012), he also starred as Chen Sy in My Binondo Girl (2011), Henry de Dios sa Walang Hanggan (2012), at Philip Tang sa Ang Probinsyano (2015).
Jodi Sta. Maria
Si Jodi naman ang gaganap bilang si Rose Jacinto-Zhang. Unlike the other characters in the series, hindi pa gaanong malinaw ang role niya rito aside from being part of the main cast. What is clear at this point is that she seems to have a relationship with a much younger man.
Some kissing scenes, sweet nothings, the desperation of a young man in love are enough giveaways to show the dynamics.
“Exciting times ahead,” ang masasabi ni Jodi sa show. This unlike dati na tila fixed ang celebrities kung saang network sila nakapirmi.
She’s bound to have a reunion with Richard Yap through the series, after their Be Careful With My Heart pair-up. Aside from BCWMH, they also had a reunion in 2016 via The Achy Breaky Hearts, which turned out to be a box office success. She also starred in Chassis in 2010.
Joshua Garcia
This generation’s ultimate leading man, as per their press conference last January 2023, will play the role of Renz Isidro, the young man Richard's character is jealous of because of his affair with Jodi ’s character.
“Honored and grateful to be part of this historical collaboration between ABS and GMA and excited ako sobra to work with Gabbi, miss Jodi, and sir Richard,” ang masasabi naman ni Joshua when asked about this collab sa kanyang panayam sa 24 Oras last March 2023.
Some of the other shows where he starred in include Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita (2015), The Killer Bride (2019), at Block Z (2020).
Gabbi Garcia
Si Alex Jacinto Zhang naman ang magiging role ni Gabbi sa series na ito.
“Very out of the box role,” according sa panayam ni Gabbi with 24 Oras noong March 2023 when asked about her character sa upcoming series.
Ito ang first time niya to work with Joshua Garcia in a series, ngunit napansin kaagad ng netizens ang kakaiba at interesting na chemistry ng dalawa onscreen during the release of the first trailer.
Bukod sa pagganap niya sa Unbreak My Heart, kilala rin siya bilang si Lena sa Victor Magtanggol (2018), Wanda Dimaano sa Love on Air (2021), at Crystal Davino sa Mga Lihim ni Urduja (2023).
Supporting Unbreak My Heart cast
The other stars who will grace the show include Laurice Guillen, Nikki Valdez, Eula Valdez, Will Ashley, Maey Bautista, Bianca de Vera, Jeremiah Lisbo, Sunshine Cruz, Romnick Sarmenta, Victor Neri, and Dionne Monsanto.
