Maja Salvador, who turned 21 last October 5, considered the chance to work with Kim Bum a great birthday treat. She added that she was flattered by the Korean actor's compliments when they shot a TV commercial together (TVC) for a soft drink endorsement. “Feeling lucky kasi pumunta dito si Kim Bum para gumawa kami ng TVC. Alam ko marami ngayong mga babae na gusto na nasa posisyon ko pero sa akin na lang po muna [siya]. Birthday gift n’yo na sa akin,” she joked.
Maja recalled that Kim Bum made her smile in spite of her exhaustion from an all-day shoot. Maja’s call time was 5 am while Kim Bum’s was 3 pm. When Kim Bum arrived in the afternoon, he asked Maja if she was already tired. “Sabi ko, ‘yes’ dahil 5 am pa nga [ako nagta-taping]. Tapos sabi niya (Kim Bum), ‘But you’re still maganda,’” beamed Maja. Kim Bum's translator also revealed during an October 3 press conference that the commercial's director was very vocal about Maja and Kim Bum’s chemistry extending off the set because they got along really well during their breaks.
Maja confessed that she found the Korean actor very handsome and charming. “Sobrang love ko kapag nagi-smile siya,” she said. “Since lagi pong 5 am ‘yung shoot ko, nung wala pa siya at laging mainit, lagi akong umiinom ganyan. ‘Pag dumating na siya ng set hindi ko na kailangang uminom, okay na ako kaagad. Basta ngiti pa lang.”
Although they are both single, Maja said that she is not expecting that her friendship with Kim Bum to turn into something romantic. “’Yung meron kami ni Kim sobrang nakakatuwa lang na naging magkaibigan kami,” she said. “Para sa akin, okay na po ang na-experience ko na makasama ko siya dahil bihira lamang ang nabibigyan ng chance na makasama ang isang guwapong aktor na katulad ni Kim Bum.”
