Julia Montes remarked that her friendship with Enchong Dee has truly flourished through working together in Muling Buksan ang Puso. “’Yung friendship namin open na open na, okay na okay na kami, komportable po kami sa isa’t isa, so kumbaga hindi na namin naaalala ‘yung mga ano man dati.”
But when asked if they are going to take it to the next level and commit to a relationship anytime soon, the actress relayed that they are both content and happy with what they have right now. “Eh mas masaya po kami kung anong meron sa amin ngayon so ‘yun muna namin yung ini-enjoy namin ngayon.”
As their teleserye is now drawing to a close, the young actress relayed that she learned a lot from the show while working with experienced actresses like Agot Isidro and Cherie Gil. “Marami eh at sa pagiging artista po siguro hindi pwedeng iisa lang ‘yung atake mo at kada artistang makakatrabaho mo hindi sila pare-pareho po. So this show po natutunan ko na kung ka-eksena ko si Ms. Agot, iba siya kung ka-eksena ko si Ms. Cherie, iba po ‘yung intensity nilang dalawa so ‘yun po ‘yung natutunan ko na hindi ako pwedeng masanay sa isang level lang po,” she said.
When asked as to how she was able to portray her character “Sarah” successfully, she relayed, “Ano po siguro po may ugali po akong pag nagti-take, pag-hindi ko po nararamdaman kahit na umiiyak na ako pinapa-cut ko po kay direk, tapos sasabihin ko ‘Direk pwede po cut? Pwede isa pa? Tapos iisipin ko na ano ‘yung nangyayari sa character ko, ifa-flashback ko kung anong nangyari bago mangyari ang scene na ‘yun kung bakit umabot sa punto na ‘yun.” She added, “Before po aminado naman po ako na humugot ako sa totoong nangyari sa buhay ko pero ngayon po mas affected ako bilang character na kumbaga nadadala ako.”
But was there ever a time that she had difficulties acting in some scenes? “Yes po lalo na pag may ka-eksena po akong veteran. Every time na sinsabi na magti-take na tayo ito ‘yung sequence kasama mo si Ms. ganito or Mr. ganito, [sabi ko] ‘Oh my gosh ito na parang iniisip ko na kung papaano ko ibabato ‘yung lines, parang super conscious po ako noon kung papaano siya bibitawan,” she said.
