James Reid opened up about how he and Kathryn Bernardo developed their rapport during the early days of working together on the series<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/someone-someday"> Someone, Someday</a>.&quot;Luckily for me it&#x27;s very easy working with Kath. And I think as a person, yeah sure she&#x27;s shy and introverted, but not as much as me. She&#x27;s very friendly on the set, she&#x27;s very open, so that&#x27;s what it made easy for me,&quot; he shared in interview on The B Side.The actor also shared how they prepared for their respective roles, revealing that they had in-depth discussions about their characters.&quot;We really sat down, we talked about the characters, even to the point of like what&#x27;s their love language, what are the things that they love and hate about each other. We went into a lot of details,&quot; he relayed.<div><iframe width="795" height="447" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ll9ERhicgPY" title="How Much Is James Reid Willing to Forgive? | The B Side S3 Full Interview" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>When asked whether he had ever imagined being paired with Kathryn, James admitted that it did not seem possible in the past.&quot;Before no, I didn&#x27;t think it was something that&#x27;s possible. The way it was then with all the fans and everything, it was very kind of separate,&quot; the actor recounted. &quot;But now I think there&#x27;s a lot of opportunities to be able to collaborate with each other and have crossovers like this. I am very grateful that this is the first project that I have coming back.&quot;James also reflected on the excitement surrounding their team-up, noting that some fans had been hoping to see them work together for years.&quot;Actually, there&#x27;s been a fanbase that&#x27;s been around for ten years.

Maybe they really did see this coming,&quot; he shared.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/7/18/james-reid-on-teleserye-comeback-after-10-years-now-is-the-right-time-0847">READ: James Reid on teleserye comeback after 10 years: ‘Now is the right time’</a></div>As for what viewers can expect from the series, James described <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/someone-someday">Someone, Someday</a> as a light and modern drama with a unique story. &quot;It&#x27;s a modern feel-good drama.
