He&#x27;s a charming chef with an edge. He&#x27;s very, on the surface, has everything together. He&#x27;s confident, he&#x27;s very charming, but like all these kinds of characters, there&#x27;s something that&#x27;s just beneath and there&#x27;s so much, so many layers that need to be peeled before you get to him and his vulnerability. It&#x27;s something I think that&#x27;s in all of us, and it&#x27;s fun to explore, and to do it with this cast has just been a blessing,&quot; Tadena said.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="" fu="" kung="" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/tfc/03/09/03092022_kung-fu-cast.jpg"/><figcaption>&quot;Kung Fu&quot; cast.

Tadena said &quot;it&#x27;s pretty crazy because up until I booked this, I still thought it was an impossibility for me to play a love interest on national television, but it&#x27;s here. It&#x27;s happening. Slowly, we&#x27;re making these strides. And I think, you know, it&#x27;s going to be new for people to see. And I think they&#x27;re gonna enjoy it.&quot;</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Photo courtesy: JB Tadena/Leslie Alejandro" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/tfc/03/09/03092022_jb-tadena-3.jpg"/><figcaption>Photo courtesy: JB Tadena/Leslie Alejandro</figcaption></figure></div><p>Tadena&#x27;s past TV credits include a role as a Filipino soldier in an episode of &#x27;Seal Team.&#x27; The actor will also be part of the upcoming Disney animated series &#x27;Firebuds.&#x27;</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XQcqWe76nm8?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
