00:00 Why you? I told you, God feel, and it felt so right.

00:04 I'm gonna cry too because you're the one who started it.

00:06 Hello, Julia Montes.

00:13 Hi, Alan Richard.

00:15 How are you?

00:16 I'm good, I'm very happy. How about you?

00:18 I'm full because I ate the food I took out from your house.

00:21 It was so delicious because...

00:24 It was so delicious. I don't know, maybe with your cooking,

00:27 you'll really feel that you love what you're cooking.

00:30 Yes.

00:32 How about you, Jules?

00:33 Your insight, general insight about this whole journey

00:37 that we went through while making 5 Breakups in a Row.

00:40 I always say that it's my first time being proud of a project.

00:44 I mean, I'm happy with the past projects that I've done.

00:47 But I have a dilemma with that.

00:50 I have a self-dilemma that I'm being embarrassed.

00:53 It's not because I'm not proud of the project,

00:55 but I'm not proud of myself.

00:57 But on this project, it's my first time feeling

00:59 that I'm excited to see what my group went through.

01:03 Maybe the feeling is different,

01:05 you know it's beautiful,

01:07 but the feeling is different that it's beautiful and you love it.

01:09 Yes, it has that impact on me.

01:11 So more than as an actor,

01:14 on my personal side, it has a happiness that I fulfilled.

01:19 Because sometimes, we're looking for happiness as an actor.

01:22 Now, I realized that it's okay to have both.

01:25 Your personal and as an actor, you can fulfill both.

01:29 That's how I made the film.

01:31 The character, the journey of on and off cam.

01:35 It's like, for the books,

01:37 you know you can't repeat it to others.

01:40 And you can't repeat it even to us.

01:43 Because the journey is different.

01:44 So you set your standards with 5 bars.

01:48 It became 5 stars.

01:50 I also want to add the part that you said it's okay.

01:54 Sometimes, whenever I get the chance to speak with people who has high wisdom,

01:58 they always say that sometimes,

02:00 you can't choose both, you need to compromise.

02:04 I beg to disagree.

02:05 Because with what's happening,

02:07 like this one, it's surprising, it's okay.

02:10 It's all about balance.

02:12 If it's okay, why not?

02:13 Because sooner or later, the situation in our lives,

02:17 eventually,

02:18 the situation will tell us that it's not okay.

02:21 But as long as you can try,

02:23 just try.

02:25 Let's just try.

02:26 If not, then no.

02:27 I have a question.

02:29 Of course, I say this every time I interview people.

02:33 My question is, why me?

02:35 So I'll ask you, why me?

02:38 Of course, this is your first time producing.

02:41 Yes.

02:42 It's a risk for you because it's not a joke to produce.

02:44 You're just starting.

02:46 And coming from the past works that you've done,

02:51 of course, there's pressure.

02:53 You can't leave that.

02:54 Why me?

02:56 It's a risk.

02:58 Why you?

03:00 I told you, God feel.

03:02 And it feels so right.

03:08 When I haven't met Jules,

03:11 there were so many fears, so many questions.

03:14 I only know you on the surface.

03:19 I think everything happens for a reason.

03:21 God gives us opportunities in life

03:25 because it needs to happen in our lives.

03:28 And this was meant to happen.

03:29 This was meant to happen.

03:31 I have no regrets.

03:33 Not even a single regret.

03:36 I got touched.

03:38 I just thought of following up on you.

03:41 I said earlier that my feeling on our journey

03:44 was fulfillment and happiness.

03:46 On your journey,

03:48 you produced and there's God Feel.

03:50 What's your feeling?

03:52 Did you feel the fulfillment as an actor?

03:56 I felt like I became proud of the project

04:00 even though people haven't seen it yet.

04:04 Do you have that feeling?

04:06 I think it was only on day one of the shoot that I had that feeling.

04:09 Every circumstance that comes.

04:12 Finishing day one, two, three, Singapore, home.

04:14 We saw the whole thing.

04:16 On day one, I was fulfilled.

04:18 All those succeedings,

04:20 bonus.

04:21 Every day that I'm with this group,

04:23 it's like fate is telling me

04:25 that it's proving to me

04:28 that my decision for this project

04:30 is the right decision.

04:32 Jules, any memorable instances?

04:36 Maybe on and off cam?

04:37 On or off cam while doing this?

04:40 That's one of my hardest questions.

04:43 It's hard even for me.

04:45 How can I say this?

04:47 Sometimes, the story

04:49 in a TV series has a peak.

04:53 So when we're asked,

04:56 we automatically answer,

04:58 "I want this because that's the peak."

05:00 The emotions, everything.

05:02 Intense.

05:04 But this time, it's different.

05:06 It's a peak.

05:08 Peak to the point that

05:10 how can you choose?

05:12 It's hard because it's different.

05:14 It's hard to say, "This is what I want."

05:16 Or, "This is what's memorable."

05:18 Wait, I want this too.

05:20 I want this too.

05:22 It's hard to answer.

05:24 But if you have to answer,

05:26 just the finale.

05:28 Because that's when it sunk in to me

05:30 that the impact is different.

05:32 Because it's not about the emotions

05:34 or the conversation.

05:36 How can you let go?

05:38 Yes.

05:40 Direk gave us this, this, this.

05:42 And then, while doing that

05:44 back shot,

05:46 "Oh, this is it. You're there."

05:48 Oh my gosh.

05:50 That's when it sunk in to us that this is what we went through.

05:52 The characters.

05:54 It's the first time I had a scene

05:56 without lines.

05:58 But,

06:00 that moment when we were

06:02 looking at each other's eyes

06:04 was a whole conversation

06:06 by itself.

06:08 We weren't saying anything.

06:10 I was asking myself,

06:12 I was very emotional that time.

06:14 Why did I understand you?

06:16 That time.

06:18 Yeah, I was

06:20 going back.

06:22 Why did I understand Jules?

06:24 Even though she wasn't saying anything.

06:26 Maybe because we didn't

06:28 have any...

06:30 We didn't have a friendship

06:32 that made me cry.

06:34 You're the one who started it.

06:36 No, it's just that she's just now

06:38 talking to me.

06:40 That's the effect.

06:42 I just realized it now.

06:44 We're talking,

06:46 but you're not saying anything.

06:48 But I understand you.

06:50 I'm the one who appreciates you.

06:52 Because sometimes,

06:54 you can feel it when there's a wall.

06:56 And we feel

06:58 each other.

07:00 "Did I read it right?"

07:02 "Oh, he read it."

07:04 There's that.

07:06 It's different.

07:08 It's not because we're facing each other

07:10 or doing something.

07:12 It's a different flow.

07:14 Yes, I have to agree.

07:16 For me,

07:24 favorite scene?

07:26 Oh, I'll go.

07:28 (gentle music)
