Introducing Andy Ryu (Ryu Sang Wook), The New Korean Actor Paired With Heart Evangelista In 'My Korean Jagiya' To Be Alexander Lee's Rival
"When I got there, they told me they already have an actor who looks like me and it's Song," he says. "When people see me in public, they sometimes mistake me for him."
How did he get the role of Alexander Lee's rival over Heart Evangelista in "My Korean Jagiya". "The manager of Alexander is a friend of my manager. He told my manager they're looking for a new actor in the show and he would like to recommend me. My manager told me about it. At first, I was nervous because I don't speak English well but I got excited because I already heard of 'My Korean Jagiya', so I said yes."
He's been in Manila for a week now and he likes it here because everyone is nice. Does he know Alexander in Korea? "Yes, I know him but just as an acquaintance. But since I arrived here, we get to see each other almost every day because we stay in the same hotel. He introduced me to halo-halo and we now eat it everyday."
How about Heart? "I researched about her so I know she's a big star here. At first, I'm quite nervous to work with her and it's also my first time to work overseas, but she turned out to be very friendly, approachable, charming, talented, full of energy and it's an honor to work with her."
He knows Heart is married to a senator. "I haven't met him but Alexander says he's very nice. Heart says she'll invite us to have dinner at their home soon."
He himself has a girlfriend, Kim Hye Jin, also an actress. It's good she allowed him to work in Manila. "She's very supportive of me. She'll visit me here if she'd find the time. This is the fourth time I'm in Manila. The first three are all for vacations, including Cebu. I never thought I'd get the chance to work here someday."
He just finished his required military service of almost two years in Korea. He is best known for two shows, the romancde "Cinderella Man" and the historical drama "Queen Seondok". He has done one movie and just before he left for Manila, he finished a new soap called 'Run Toward Tomorrow".
In "My Korean Jagiya", he plays a very popular Korean actor named Gong Woo. In the story, he used to be just a supporting actor to Alexander as Jun Ho, but when Xander retired and stayed in Manila, he inherited Xander's popularity. He just did a hit movie in Korea titled "Bus in Busan" and he comes to Manila to promote it. Their company hired Heart as Gia to be his interpreter in Manila and he falls for her, turning the show into a love triangle story with two Koreans fighting over Heart's attention.

Jameson Blake doesn't want to be compared with fellow Hashtags members
2017 has become a shining year for Hashtags member Jameson Blake.
He was part of Bea Alonzo-starrer primetime drama "A Love to Last" and made his film debut with Khalil Ramos in "2 Cool 2 Be 4gotten" where he won a Best Supporting Actor award at the Cinema One Originals Independent Film Festival.
Because he's been getting numerous projects this year,, Jameson is being dubbed as the "best" from Hashtags, as well as being pitted against his fellow member Ronnie Alonte.
However, in an interview with entertainment wevsite PUSH, Jameson said he doesn't pay attention to such comments. He just sticks to perfecting his craft and keeping things low-key.
"It's flattering of course if someone said na mas magaling ka… Pero I won't judge myself na I'm better or anything," he said, adding that what people say are just opinions. "Sila naman 'yung nagde-decide, eh. Nothing against him… I don't want to be competitive with everyone."
Jameson also said that he's not the "best" Hashtags member; they all see each other as equals.
"If someone would say na parang ako 'yung one of the top sa Hashtags, well siguro let's say in terms of getting projects. It's a good sign naman, at least I can say na I'm blessed to have these... It's flattering naman and nice to hear naman but I don't like to compare kasi with each other," he said.
