Goodbye, Samsoon!

You have exactly one week left to enjoy the romantic comedy "Ako si Kim Samsoon." Having a successful run capturing the hearts of the prime time viewers, GMA's first Koreanovela remake will surely be missed. Text by Loretta G. Ramirez. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio. But wait--the viewers are not the only ones who will miss this heart-warming show! iGMA asked the cast of Ako si Kim Samsoon what or who they will miss most about the show and here's what they had to say: Regine Velasquez: Nasa-sad ako kasi ma mi-miss ko everybody. The staff, the cast, the crew, everybody! Kasi syempre we've been working together for a month and a half din halos so I'm going to miss everybody. This is such a great experience for me. The taping is so light, wala masyadong aberya, wala lang. We were all just having fun, eating, making tsismis, hay naku ang sarap-sarap so sana sa susunod kong project ganito din. Mark Anthony Fernandez: Mami-miss ko talaga si Ms. Regine, dahil si Ms. Regine kahit puyat na ako, kahit maiinit ulo ko, kapag nakita namin siya hindi lang ako, kung baga nawawala lahat ng pagod namin eh. Para bang pag nandyan siya, she makes us want to be a better person. Eugene Domingo: In general 'yung company kasi masaya, hindi mabigat kasi hindi mo naman masasabi na lahat ng set ganun 'di 'ba? Iba-iba talaga 'yung flavor eh. So definitely ito iba kasi kengkoy eh at saka kain nang kain. Tumaba kami lahat (laughs)! Lahat kami parang naka-fat suit. Lahat kami enjoy kumain, enjoy magtawanan, enjoy magwork. Everybody is so generous of their talent, of their time, of their food (smiles). Bonggang bongga! Bigay na bigay! Jennica Garcia: Medyo nalulungkot ako, kasi mamimiss ko yung mga nakatrabaho ko na, lalong-lalo na ang pinakama-mimiss ko dito si Ate Reg at tsaka si Nay Tessie kasi sila 'yung palagi kong kasama sa eksena. Napalapit na talaga ako sa kanila, tsaka mahal ko talaga silang dalawa. Pati 'yung staff, kung paano nila ako alagaan, 'yung mga bonding moments namin, mami-miss ko rin 'yun. Tsaka si Direk Dom--ang sarap niyang maging direktor kasi very light lang palabiro, ganyan. Mart Escudero: Halo-halo po, madami eh. Malungkot, masaya na excited, kasi lahat ng tao rito parang lahat sila magaan katrabaho, walang umiinit ulo, masaya. Kahit madaling araw na tawanan pa rin. 'Yun yung mga mami-miss ko po eh. 'Yung mga direktor laging nagpapatawa. Sheena Halili: Mami-miss ko rin 'yung mga eksena namin na natatawa kami sa isa't-isa. ‘Tsaka mami-miss ko number one dito si Direk Dom. Si Ate Reg din na sobrang bait, napaka down-to-earth. Pero dito kasi nakakatawa kami ni Ate Uge, 'yung mga away naming dalawa marami kaming ina-dlib eh. Wino-workshop pa niya ako palagi tuwing mag-eeksena kami, 'O ganito ang gagawin mo, ganyan ang gawin mo.' Kasi mami-miss ko din 'yun. Kelan kaya ko ulit makaka-work si Ate Uge? Kelan ko ulit makaka-work si Ate Reg? Tessie Tomas: Parang nakakalungkot naman patapos na. [I had a] wonderful [experience], the taping is about to wind down. Medyo kinda sad, and parang nakakabigla na ang bilis, parang mabilis na mabilis ang taping, short and sweet, so to speak. Direk Dominic Zapata: Si Regine ma-miss ko kasi hindi ko siya kasama sa next project ko (smiles). Si Sheena was a revelation to me because this is the first time I've worked with her na malaki 'yung role nya at saka 'yung demand ko sa kanya was sa comedy na hindi ko pa nagagawa. 'Yung pagiging komedyante, tricky 'yun eh, pero na-pull off naman nya. Si Uge (Eugene Domingo), baka ma-miss ko kasi kino-kumbinse ko pa siya na mag-La Lola. She said she wants to rest muna. Hopefully I get to work with her so I won't have to miss her. Masaya ang grupo and I'd like to think na everybody feels the same way. I mean, each person [and] not only Regine. I know Regine's happy with the show, she's happy with the whole production. Everyone in the cast agrees that they had a great time doing Ako si Kim Samsoon. Sharing laughs with each other definitely made their work much easier and lighter. In fact, this maybe their secret as to why the show is such a big success. What about you?
