If I still remember vividly the movie "Kurdapya," based on Pablo S. Gomez's classic novel, it is because it starred a fellow Ilocana, Ms. Gloria Romero, who left an indelible mark in the minds of moviegoers with her title role. As for me, it was because the erstwhile "movie queen" was the first movie star I interviewed at Sampaguita Studios.
And now, the story of "Kurdapya" is being retold by TV5 as the "twintastic komediserye ng taon" with multi-talented Yassi Pressman playing distinctive dual roles as Kuring and Daphne who are polar opposites. This of course is a most challenging role for Yassi, who finds it heartwarming doing the comic misadventures of Kuring and Daphne.
Yassi, who is also into hosting, said that it seems that she's in a learning process again as she indulges into another genre - this time comedy. Before she was assigned to do "Kudapya," she was taking things easy, giving her family her 100% attention after working continuously for five years.
Like Yassi, Ryzo Cenon who plays the gold-digging girlfriend of Daphne's father, finds "Kurdapya," an avenue to explore another genre. Although Ryza already has a family with children, she still looks young and doesn't actually looks like a mother.
Both Yassi and Ryza said they are greatly challenged by their roles, but "masaya naman kami at naging relaxing naman ang trabaho at relationship namin sa set."
But most of all, this was for the benefit of their director, Direk Easy whose job became easier because of his stars' cooperation and dedication to their work. As to Yassi, "mahal ni Yassi ang role niya kaya naging madali ang trabaho ko," he said. He also said that "Kurdapya" is a most welcomed project for him (he is actually with Regal Films but Roselle Monteverde allowed him to do "Kurdapya") because "nasa puso ko ang comedy."
Premiering on March 18, the highly-anticipated series follows the journey of two long-lost twins who reunite in a strange accident after living vastly different lives. Kuring grew up in the province with her cruel extended family, while Daphne was raised in the city under the guidance of her strict father who is the CEO of a publishing conglomerate. Both of them feel unhappy with their current realities so their unexpected reunion turns into a twist that will ultimately change their lives.
Exploring the themes on family, love, and self-discovery, "Kurdapya" also stars Marco Gumabao as Carlos, Kuring's childhood friend and the apple of her eye; Nikko Natividad as the nouveau rich and "jojologin" Tadeo, who was handpicked by Daphne's father to be her suitor; Katya Santos as Kuring's strict and ambitious aunt; Candy Pangilinan as the funny ex-con mom of Kuring and Daphne; and Lander Vera-Perez as the twins' father.
As the story unfolds, viewers will witness the funny misadventures of Kuring and Daphne as they try to escape their current realities by switching identities, navigate through life's challenges, and come face-to-face with their past. How will the twins learn to overcome their adversities and forge a better future for themselves?
Inspired by Pablo S. Gomez's popular classic, "Kurdapya" is sure to bring a double dose of entertainment every Saturday night from 6pm to 7pm starting on March 18 on TV5, with catch-up airings on Sari Sari Channel (Available on Cignal Ch. 3) every Sunday starting on March 19.
