MY GIRL REMAKE Got me on TV?
Click to viewLOL so this was apparently shown in "Umagang Kay Ganda" A Morning News show in the Philippines from the ABS-CBN Network.
MY GIRL is my favorite LEE DA HAE drama, so ABS-CBN decides to screw with my life and remake it. They chose Kim Chiu, a breakout star from Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition to play the wacky Ju Yoo Rin. I do have my (big) doubts that this 18 year old chinita would be able to pull off Da Hae's role, but she could pass as Ju Yoo Rin, for the character is a compulsive liar and a bit childish, it is not as age appropriate so it does not really matter if Kim is only 18 years old. Though she just has to work on her line delivery, she has an innate endearing quality about her that's click with the masses.
But getting her "loveteam" Gerald Anderson as Gong Chan (Lee Dong Wook's role) is a No-No. HELLO. PLEASE. He would look like a little kid having a field trip in the hotel. He just lacks any kind of angst or depth that is needed in this role. He looks boyish and jocky. He looks 14. So a bunch of My Girl fans are petitioning for casting Gong Chan/Julian right. So, I decided to make a mock video to put out our sentiments...
lo and behold, it went crazy. On March 18, 2008 it was shown in UMAGANG KAY GANDA (A Morning News Show in Philippine Network ABS-CBN). Now, petitions are going insane. Would they ever listen to us? We are still fighting for it! Sam Milby, ftw! hahahaha. Bring on the chaos.
