In Episode 7 of “Unbreak My Heart: Europe Experience” vlog series on YouTube, the show’s cast and directors could be seen making each other smile with their antics, creating a more relaxed atmosphere on the set.“Masaya ako na habang nagtatrabaho, nakakapag-bonding kami,” enthused Joshua Garcia. His co-lead stars Jodi Sta. Maria, Gabbi Garcia, and Richard Yap share the same sentiments about how fun their off-cam moments are that make even working abroad a breeze.Of course, what’s an international shoot without the travel and food trips. “Lahat ‘ata ng spots napuntahan namin, picturesque. It’s nice to learn and shoot at a country that offer culture na pwede namin matutunan at madala pag-uwi namin sa bansa namin sa Pilipinas,” Nikki Valdez reflected. Since they got the Switzerland-based Dionne Monsanto in the cast, she happily posed as the group’s tour guide.Bianca de Vera talked about their food trips and shopping activities, while Jeremiah Lisbo said he enjoyed the in-between-takes strolls with his co-stars, adding that there were challenges as well – and their number one struggle was the weather.“Okay na ‘yung malamig, pero ‘yung malamig na tapos mahangin pa, sobrang challenging. As much as you really try to focus to get in your character, kaya lang ‘pag may nafe-feel ka na biglang humangin, parang, ‘Wooh’ mapapa-ganu’n ka talaga,” shared Jodi. Check out snippets that captured their struggle with the cold, such as when they went to Mt. Pilatus!The next part of the video is all about the crying scenes in the series. We could see the actors squeezing all their dramatic juices to deliver the narrative well, that is, again, despite the challenges brought about by the cold weather. Each of the stars had their own techniques in plucking out their emotions, like Bianca, who had to open old wounds since the story hits close to home. Will Ashley took his ‘hugot’ from the lonesome feeling of being away from his family.We move next to captured kilig moments, which Bianca and Will had plenty of. Remember when they rode scooters around the streets of Milan? Joshua and Gabbi had their share of sweet times as well, like when they were caught enjoying the sight of hundreds of pigeons that flocked in front of Duomo di Milano.Joshua shared tender on- and off-cam scenes with Jodi, too. They look so refreshing when together, especially when they engage in endearing banters.The “Unbreak My Heart” cast has turned into family, according to PJ Endrinal. It reflects how OFWs become close even when they’re far from home, thought Mark Rivera.And when you’re with family, cheerful things happen. Even Eula Valdes, who plays quite an antagonistic role in story, is caught bursting into huge laughter.For the cast of “Unbreak My Heart,” the bond they built is priceless, as Gabbi puts it, “hindi mo siya mapupulot kahit saan.”
