as i was answering one of the emails i’ve received from a reader (kinda late though since i’ve been busy) who’s a fan of korean dramas, i remember that the first korean drama i saw featured charlene gonzales in the cast… yes! you’ve read it correctly… the charlene gonzales who was miss philippines 1994 and married to forever bagets aga muhlach…
i’m not sure when it was shown but i think it was somewhere between 1997 and 1999… i accidentally tuned in to arirang TV at around 10 in the evening and saw a familiar face in what was supposed to be a foreign drama… i thought the lady looked a lot like charlene gonzales… so i asked my sister and she said it was indeed charlene gonzales… not only that, bernard bonnin (charlene’s younger brother) was also in the drama…
the thing is i didn’t follow that drama and i never knew it’s title… i was just proud and shocked to see somebody familiar in a foreign television channel… with so many korean dramas shown on philippine tv, it would be nice to see a filipino drama someday on korean tv… just like the japanese doramas i see on MBC Movies channel 30 (right now, they’re showing one of Matsumoto Jun’s dorama)… how about “kay tagal kang hinintay”… ?

What? Charlene Gonzalez in a Korean drama? Interesting. Or was it a Filipino drama shown in Korea? Wow! I really want to know the title.
-
hi ione! nice handle… reminded me of ione skye… anwyay, i’m also curious about the title… it’s really a korean drama, not filipino drama… it was actually a period drama, during the early 40’s in korea…
-
thanks, betchay. i actually got my handle from the actress herself “ioneskye.” =) so did charlene act in the drama..um, talking in korean? wow! that got me curious. i’ve been doing searches online of any info pertaining to this drama but to no avail. BTW, i also saw aya medel’s interview on heart to heart… she said she’s going to start an acting career in korea. so another filipina added to the list.

Talaga si charlene? astig naman! dba si aya medel mag-aartista na jan sa korea. Napanood ko sa arirang eh.

i have watched some parts of this drama, but im not sure if it is Korean or Chinese drama…coz Im in china and we have watched it (2004), the timelot of the series runs from 9pm to 10 pm…yes, it was Charlene Gopnzales playing the role of a girl in a war who has a soldier boyfriend.
she was really good at this tv series… hope we could watched her again…idol ko si Charlene Gonzales. -

yes, your right. charlene gonzalez did appear in a korean telenovela. it was called “war and love” . the telenovela was shot in the philippines and in korea. It was made for the 50th anniversity special for one of the popular networks in korea (like abs-cbn).. she had a korean leading man and her brother richard bonnin played a part in the series.
