<p>MANILA -- Perfect opportunity and the right timing.</p><p>This was how Jeremiah Lisbo and Kaori Oinuma described their feelings as ABS-CBN Entertainment officially launched their first lead project in &quot;Halfmates.&quot;</p><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7wowaU1bQk0?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><p>During the media conference for their upcoming series on Thursday, Lisbo and Oinuma recalled their experience doing their first lead project together.</p><p>&quot;Mas magaan po ngayon. Minsan kahit non-verbal, tinginan lang kami ni Kaori, alam na namin ang mga dapat gawin. Doon niyo makikita &#x27;yung chemistry namin,&quot; Lisbo told the press.</p><p>&quot;I think personally sabi nga niya yes mas magaan, pero when it comes to character naman mas fun &#x27;yung tandem namin this time. Siguro depende na rin sa kuwento na rin but yeah, fun, light and enjoy kung idi-describe ko &#x27;yung tandem naming dalawa&quot; Oinuma added.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DA5qA7iPe9C/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A16753462%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Lisbo and Oinuma have starred in several ABS-CBN series including &quot;He&#x27;s Into Her,&quot; together with Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano where their on-screen chemistry left a mark on fans.</p><p>According to their director Raz Dela Torre, Lisbo and Oinuma promised to deliver that perfect blend of romance and fun.</p><p>&quot;Maybe it was meant to happen that they did other projects. For me what I appreciated when I was working with them, siyempre kahit na maganda &#x27;yung kuwento hindi tayo sigurado once the casting has been set, kung mag-rise to the occasion ang mga characters mo. And when I worked with Kaori, with Jeremiah, I think the chemistry is natural, number one. But we can say that in other love teams pero with them may degree of professionalism and humility as well which is a good combination for actors,&quot; he explains.</p><p>Aside from their working experience, Lisbo and Oinuma were also asked how their team-up set them apart from other love teams.</p><p>&quot;Matagal na po kasi kami talagang magkakilala since launching pa lang pre-pandemic. And then mayroon po kaming habang pandemic, mayroon kaming mga team building through Zoom, so mas lalo namin nakikilala ang isa&#x27;t isa so, I think ayun kilala na namin ang isa&#x27;t isa,&quot; Lisbo shared.</p><p>&quot;Bukod sa matagal na namin kilala ang isa&#x27;t isa, I think it&#x27;s us talaga sa ibang love team, like &#x27;yung personality naming dalawa &#x27;yung connections na mayroon kaming dalawa. And I&#x27;m sure rin naman na like other love teams, mayroon rin silang connections &#x27;yung mga ganung bagay,&quot; Oinuma added.</p><p>With the positive response from their fans, the KaoMiah love team is still hoping for the best.</p><p>&quot;For me, I hope this is the start po na magdire-direcho po ang work namin somehow. But at the same time hindi rin naman namin kino-close ang doors for other opportunity but happy ako na maka-work ko ulit si Jeremiah now and sa susunod pa,&quot; Oinuma said.</p><p>&quot;Kung ano po ang ibigay ng Diyos, if God wills it, it will happen,&quot; Lisbo added.</p><p>&quot;Halfmates&quot; is ready for streaming starting October 18 on ABS-CBN Entertainment&#x27;s YouTube channel.</p>
