News are circulating that GMA 7 will be doing a Philippine version of the hit Korean series All About Eve (2000) which will be shown next year.
According to what I’ve read, they have already eyed actresses Iza Calzado and Sunshine Dizon to play as Nicole (Jin Sun Mi) and Erika (Heo Young Mi). It’s still not yet determined who’s playing who though since both actresses have played both the nice and baddie roles.
Iza and Sunshine has been doing soap operas together, the latest of which was Impostora where they played as twins.
Sunshine Dizon
Iza CalzadoOn the other hand, Jean Garcia and Eula Valdez, who were last seen together as rivals in Pangako Sa Yo, will be reunited to play as senior reporters in drama, one of which was characterized by Kim Jung Eun (Lovers in Paris).
Eula Valdez
Jean Garcia
The last question now is who will be playing Jang Dong Gun’s character Kenneth (Yun Hyong Chul) in the series. Kenneth is the most ideal man in the world: caring, sincere, handsome etc. etc. You name every good trait in a man and that’s him. Even Jang Dong Gun didn’t believe that a man like him exists. hahaha!
The criteria should be:
1. He must be HANDSOME!!!
2. He must be old enough to look good either with Jean Garcia or Eula Valdez (whoever plays Kim Jung Eun’s character) since she has an interest with him initially and they are of the same age (in the Korean drama at least.)
3. He must not look too old for Sunshine or Iza since he will end up with either one of them.
So any actors in mind? I haven’t thought of one yet. Hopefull they will find one to fit the bill.
I do pray they will give justice to this drama. The original version is actually a must-see for every Korean drama fanatic. For someone like me who really, really loves this (it introduced me to the most wonderful friends I have now), I am worried that it will fall short of the original (here i go again.) Maybe I’m just traumatized since am not really liking the way they treated Ako si Kim Sam Soon.
So will you watch this once it’s shown?

so GMA 7 is planning yet again a remake of a korean series. actually, i’m getting the hang of ako si kim samsoon. but my reaction is half and half.
for all about eve, i’ve watched it while it aired by GMA which is dubbed and watched some episodes with subtitle. the story is great and the actors did their part very well.
and so, if the remake is true, i’m hoping that they can be at par with the acting of the lead characters.
i’m very excited for the upcoming project of ms.jean garcia…i’m really her no.1 fan…she’s really professional and she deserves more projects…more power to her…i love her!
Im so xcited for the upcoming show of Ms. Sunshine Dizon…I hope she will be played the role of NICOLE…!!!!!!
Nice tandem…Sunshine & Iza…gudluck…
Sunshine…..idol tlaga kita..promizzzzzzzz…..
