One reason fans are obsessed about KD Estrada and Alexa Ilacad is their big-sized gratitude. For these two, being thankful just comes out naturally. Take for instance how they acknowledge their fans’ effort in making possible their recent back-to-back success with “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-videos/kd-and-alexas-hearts-collide-in-run-to-me-17292" target="_blank">Run To Me</a>” receiving positive feedback and its OST album being an instant chart-topper.Alexa got teary-eyed after learning about the good news on their album. “Hindi ko siya in-expect talaga. Alam kong ginagalingan talaga ng ‘Sweethearts’ pero siyempre ayaw kong mag-assume. Kakaiba pala makita na lahat ng kanta mo sunod-sunod sa number one, two, three, four, five,” said Alexa in this episode of Kapamilya Chat.KD seconded, “’Yung effort po ng supporters namin is just so great kasi ang dami nila. The fact na nagpupuyat sila to stream our songs, they’re always listening to our songs, super grateful.”Apart from the soundtrack, the series’ pilot was highly successful as evinced by numbers and words. Alexa’s heart is jam-packed with amazing feelings, saying she’s happy that they’re able to make their fans happy, which is always their ultimate goal.Grounded as they are, KD and Alexa refused to take all credit. They instead acknowledged the genius of their directors and the whole team that mounted the series, as well as their supporters.From there, KDLex talked about “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-videos/kd-and-alexas-hearts-collide-in-run-to-me-17292" target="_blank">Run To Me</a>,” which revolves around two people from different worlds trying to “escape” and in the process found each other. “Tayong mga tao, marami tayong tinatakbuhan, fears natin, sometimes responsibilities. Pero minsan, tumatakbo tayo para mahanap. Ganun din sa ‘Run To Me,’ ako, tinakbuhan ko ‘yung mga bagay na nagpapalungkot sa akin just to be found by someone else, who is ‘yung character ni KD,” explained Alexa.Alexa is Jewel, a hotel heiress, cash-rich but poor with her parents’ affection. Meanwhile, KD dons the character of Wilson, a musician and a hustler, penniless but loved.In keeping with the series’ theme, KD and Alexa shared what they previously tried to run away from. As young adults, they had experienced typical scenarios of wanting to escape their problems, although they are aware of the dangers of avoidance. For them, escapism is just a momentarily distraction until they’re ready to deal with their emotions.Alexa, for example, is building the habit of evaluating her thoughts and feelings before bed, “Ina-assess ko lang. Anong nangyari today? Anong naramdaman natin today? Paano tayo pwedeng maging better tomorrow?”KD added, “Most of the time, the things we’re looking for are within, eh. Depende naman sa tao. Pero, sa akin lang, hindi naman kailangan tumakas para hanapin ‘yung gusto mo.”Soul searching can be a positive means of looking for an escape, as it recharges the mind and lead to the answers you’re looking for. Alexa equates it to me-time, which is essential to her well-being, “I need it so badly. I need that moment of silence na ako lang talaga, with music or my pets pero ako lang talaga. I think everyone needs that quiet time, that shut down sa mundo, like everything is off except you and yourself.”If music and pets are Alexa’s form of escape; for KD, crying makes him feel good afterwards.Have your sweet escape by watching KD and Alexa in “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-videos/kd-and-alexas-hearts-collide-in-run-to-me-17292" target="_blank">Run To Me</a>,” with fresh episodes every Saturday, 8 pm, on <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/Mkr3OdLk6ab" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a>.
