Devon Seron Willing To Work In Korea If Given The Chance, Believes Her Movie 'You With Me' Will Click With Local Audiences

DEVON SERON is optimistic that Filipino viewers will enjoy her movie with two K-drama actors, Hyun Woo and Jin Ju Hyung, that had its premiere night at Trinoma last night with both actors as her escorts. Their romantic-comedy shot in Korea and Manila, “You With Me”, will be up against the Piolo-Toni movie that also opens today, September 27, and no doubt it’s a formidable rival at the box office.

“Ang maipapangako ko lang, hindi kami mapapahiya sa movie namin,” she says. “First movie collaboration ito with Filipinos and Koreans at talagang pinaganda nang husto ng director naming si Rommel Ricafort kasi hindi lang ito sa bansa natin ipalalabas but also in Korea and other Asian countries. You’ll see all the beautiful scenic spots in Korea at para na rin kayong bumisita roon.”

Devon reveals that when she auditioned for “You With Me”, she didn’t have an idea that they will shoot the movie on location in Korea and she will be having Korean leading men.

“Narinig ko lang sa make up artist na kaibigan ko na may gagawing audition for an indie film. E, noon ko pa talaga pangarap na makagawa ng indie kasi I know I will learn a lot from the experience. So nag-gate crash lang ako sa audition at nalaman ko, magsu-shoot nga sa Korea. Hindi ko pa agad nalamang Korean actors ang leading men. Nung ako ang makuha, naiyak ako sa tuwa dahil talagang big blessing ito for me.”

Devon is a discovery of PBB Teens in 2010 where James Reid won and they were first paired together. “Pero sana, huwag na lang banggitin si James kasi may mga namba-bash sa akin. Ginagamit ko raw si James to promote ‘You With Me’. E, tinatanong lang naman ako ng press about him kaya ako sumasagot. So please, huwag na lang po siyang banggitin ng hindi ako maakusahang ginagamit ko siya.”

Since their movie will next be shown in Korea, does she consider having a career there also? “Why not? Kung bibigyan po ng chance, pero siempre, kailangang matuto muna akong magsalita ng language nila.”
