The stars of the upcoming series “The Rain In Espana” produced by Viva TV were presented during a media conference held at the Le Reve Events Place on Sgt. Esguerra in Quezon City on Nov. 3.
Written by Gwy Saludes, the adaptation of the widely popular series will be directed by Theodore Boborol. Shooting for the 10-part series will begin this month but it will be shown in 2023.
Gwy, 21, thanked her fans for making her novel series phenomenal as it achieved 550 million reads. Through the success of her novels, she was able to buy a brand-new car. Her other goal is to buy a condo unit or a house. She added that she has invested in a commercial building.
Sought to give an advice to the younger ones who want to write novels, Gwy said: “Start writing for yourself first before you can share your writings to other people. So don’t be scared to share it. Don’t be scared of the backlash. Writing is something that you should enjoy. So just write and write. It will come.”
Despite the monster success of her novels, Gwy pointed out that writing is just a hobby. “I want to be a lawyer.”
Theodore said it would still be discussed what platform the series would be shown. Aside from being faithful to the book, the director promised to bring the same kilig factor or thrill to the followers of the university series. Theodore directed the movies “Just The Way You Are,” “Vince and Kath and James,” “Finally Found Someone,” “Iska,” “Connected,” and “The Entitled.”
Heaven admitted that she already read some negative comments after she was cast for the lead role. “But I won’t be affected by bashers. I’m taking it as a challenge to do my best in this series. Ibibigay po namin ng buong puso para magampanan ng tama ang aming mga character.”
The cast are: Heaven Peralejo as Luna; Marco Gallo as Kalix; Gab Lagman (Sevi); Bea Binene (Via); Krissha Viaje (Yanna); Nicole Omillo (Kierra); Aubrey Caraan (Sam); Gabby Padilla (Amethyst); Andre Yllana (Adonis); Frost Sandoval (Leo); and Francis Magundayao (Miguel).
