In Kailan Ba Tama Ang Mali?, they play rivals for the love of Leo, but in real life, Max Collins and Empress Schuck are colleagues who are reuniting after a few years of not seeing each other.
 
"It's nice kasi nagkatrabaho kami before. It's nice to work with her again after mga five years," Max says of getting to work with Empress again.
 
The two starred in a fantasy drama series in another network back in 2010, with Empress playing the lead character and Max the kontrabida. 
 
Max shares that they have both changed since then. They have both shed their sweet images to take part in the heavy drama of Kailan Ba Tama Ang Mali?
 
"We're more mature na. We're tackling more mature roles na din," Max says.
 
Aside from the happy reunion with Empress, Kailan Ba Tama Ang Mali? also reunites Max with her Innamorata co-star, Dion Ignacio.
 
"Si Dion naman, magaan pa din siya. Magaan pa din siya sa set, nagpapatawa," she says, noting that Dion has stayed the sweet, humble guy she has worked with in the past.
 
"But I think now, he's trying to be more mature kasi ganun ang character niya. He's trying to be less boyish," she adds. 
 
Max also says that she and Dion help each other out, especially when it comes to reading the script. 
 
"Baliktad kami. Tinuturuan niya ko mag-Tagalog, tinutulungan ko siya sa English," says the Kapuso beauty.
 
And their efforts will bear fruit in Kailan Ba Tama Ang Mali?
 
"Ay, ang hirap talaga kasi nahihirapan kaming dalawa. But that's something for people to look out for. Ang layo ng characters from us talaga," Max says, encouraging every one to watch their new drama series.
