Kailan Ba Tama ang Mali? female leads Max Collins and Empress Schuck have both previously admitted to being intimidated by the the brooding Geoff Eigenmann. His male co-star Dion Ignacio, joins the roster of cast members who were initially intimidated by actor's quiet demeanor.
"Nakaka-intimidate 'yung dating niya nung una kasi parang tahimik, cool," Dion says of Geoff who he is working with for the first time.
Dion and Geoff will be playing Oliver and Leo, rivals for the love of Amanda, played by Max.
"Kapag inapproach mo, mabait. Mukhang maangas lang talaga siya, pero ang bait niya," he adds.
Dion also shares that he goes to Geoff for help with some of his lines.
"Magaling siyang magsalita. Tinutulangan niya ko kapag mayroon akong hirap sabihin," Dion says.
The character of Oliver requires him to deliver his lines in English, a language that he admits he does not have mastery of. As such, he has taken to going through the script a number of times, reading a lot of reference books, and asking his co-star for help.
"Sabi ko nga [sa kanya] sa workshop, tulungan din [niya] ako kasi siya 'yung magaling eh," he shares.
Kailan Ba Tama and Mali? also marks the first time Dion will be working with Empress Schuck. What was his first impression of the Kapuso returnee?
"Si Empress parang sosyalerang coño, pero simple lang din pala," he says of his co-star.
Dion and Max have already worked together in Innamorata, but he got to know her even better through this next project of theirs.
"Simple lang pala itong mga ito. Kasi nag-workshop kami ng tatlong araw, parang bonding workshop. Doon ko sila nakilala na parang okay [sila]," says Dion.
Dion is optimistic that the chemistry of the lead actors will shine through in the drama series.
"Magiging maganda itong Kailan Ba Tama ang Mali?. Magagaan silang ka-trabaho," he ends.
Kailan Ba Tama ang Mali? also stars Chariz Solomon, Ashley Ortega, Ken Alfonso and Ervic Vijandre. Catch it soon on GMA Afternoon Prime.
