Sparkle actor Migs Almendras and Karina Bautista bring kilig to viewers via 'Almost Lovers.'
Sparkle actor Migs Almendras, together with Karina Bautista, is set to bring kilig vibes in vertical microseries titled Almost Lovers.
The 20-episode vertical series is a project spearheaded by Premiere Condoms.
In their guest appearance on Ang Walang Kwentang Podcast, Migs and Karina talked about this exciting series.
Migs said, “Siguro 'yung condom 'yung naging symbol na parang handa ba tayo na i-take to the next level 'yung relationship namin. Kung ano man 'yung namamagitan sa aming dalawa parang ganun.”
The Sparkle heartthrob plays the role of Romeo, while Karina portrays Julie.
Talking about the dynamics of the two lead characters, Karin said, “[It's] about two people na parang almost in a relationship [or] situationships sila, may past sila. 'Tapos, magre-reunite sila through a café and then more on pagiging prepared when it comes to sex.”
Initially, she was surprised when she found out about the producer of the series. But Karina said, "When I read the script, wala, parang super cute ng story, very rom-com feels. Very friendly siya for everyone to see.”
Meanwhile, Almost Lovers director Rodina Singh shared their vision for this microseries.
“What if just the thought na gawin nating romantic ang pakikipagtalik… So paano natin i-bring 'yung conversation that na ang idea ay hindi na safe sex, hindi na practice safe sex.
“Having fun safely yung idea na kapag makikikpagsex kayo, masaya naman dapat. Pero dapat safe.”
Almost Lovers will premiere on TikTok on July 6.
