My Korean Jagiya spreads 'K-lig' to MassKara Festival

Expect this year’s celebration of MassKara Festival to be extra colorful and filled with ‘Korean kilig’ or ‘k-lig’ as the cast of the hit primetime romcom series My Korean Jagiya joins in the annual celebration on October 22.

No less than Philippine TV’s Sweetheart Heart Evangelista-Escudero will lead the Kapuso stars who will treat their Negrense fans during a Kapuso Mall Show in SM City Bacolod at 4p.m. Heart plays Gia in the series—the quirky, bubbly, and hopelessly romantic K-drama fan girl who somehow ended up marrying her idol, Korean superstar Kim Jun Ho.

Joining Heart to spread the ‘K-lig’ fever is her leading man, Kapuso oppa Alexander Lee, who plays Kim Jun Ho in the series. Jun Ho marries Gia to secure custody over his nephew but will he find himself falling for Gia, too?

Treating their My Korean Jagiya supporters as well are Iya Villania-Arellano and Divine Aucina. In the series, Iya is Kennedy Santos, Gia’s perky and cheerful best friend; while Divine is Clarissa, Gia’s shy and conservative cousin.

Since its pilot airing, My Korean Jagiya has been getting positive feedback and reviews from viewers and netizens. The series’ entertaining and relatable storyline has made its followers stay up at night to watch how the love story of Gia and Jum Ho will unfold.

“We would like to thank our loyal viewers for making My Korean Jagiya one of the country’s most-watched shows every evening,” says Oliver Amoroso, Vice President and Head of GMA’s Regional TV Department. “The MassKara Festival is one of the Philippines’ most popular and colorful festivals. And this year, we are happy to bring the first-ever Filipino-Korean romantic comedy—My Korean Jagiya—to Bacolod, closer to our Kapusong Negrense,” he adds.
