"Nag-enjoy na ako mag-audition nang mag-audition sa kung saan- saan. Like nag-audition na ako for 'Ang TV,' umakyat pa mga kami sa bakod ng ABS-CBN. Kasi inabot namin yung cut-off like parang sasabihin natin parang 4 p.m. na hindi na nila papasukin 'yung nasa dulo ng pila," pagbabalik-tanaw ni Panganiban sa Celebrity Conversations ng Star Magic.

"Pero siyempre kami na madaling araw pa lang pumila na parang hindi namin matanggap na hindi kami makakapasok, hindi ba? So 'yung mga parents binuhat kami, inakyat kami ng bakod para makapag-audition pa rin kami.

"Masarap sa pakiramdam na kasabay mong nag-grow 'yung mga tao... 'yung nagbigay sa iyo ng project, 'yung mga taong nag-alaga talaga sa iyo since Day 1 na nag-artista ka, gumabay sa iyo. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na sini-celebrate niyo 'yung milestone na ito ng buhay niyo together," aniya.

"Ngayon mas na-open 'yung platform sa atin like 'yung streaming platforms. Mas lumalawak ang knowledge natin pagdating sa mga pelikula. Parang hindi lang sa bagong pelikula, kung maglo-look back ka sa mga classic films, maiisip mo na 'oh wow 'di pa pala ako nakakagawa ng ganitong klaseng pelikula.' So ang sarap na makakita ng mga ganoong pelikula at ma-inspire na sana dito sa Pilipinas ay magkaroon din tayo ng opportunity na makagawa ng mga ganitong klaseng films. So maraming roles na gusto ko pang gawin. At saka ang sarap sa pakiramdam kasi ibig sabihin nun ay hindi nawawala ang hunger mo to learn and to explore more na parang, 'tara game, gawa lang nang gawa,'" aniya.

Nang matanong naman kung ano ang isa sa pinakaimportanteng aral na natutunan niya sa industriya, sagot ni Panganiban: "To be loyal and to be grateful... May magandang reward 'yon kapag nakita ng mga tao na makakapagkatiwalaan ka nila kasi alam nila na may loyalty ka," ani Panganiban, isa sa ginawaran ng Star Magic Loyalty Award.

Bo-young, a darling of romance dramas and widely recognized for playing the titular character in “Strong Woman Do Bong-soon,” echoed her leading man’s sentiment: “Because we are friends of the same age, we were able to grow close to one another at a faster pace than, I think, anyone else I remember.”

Age is a significant marker of social hierarchy in South Korea, where younger individuals are expected to use honorific speech and show respect to their elders. This dynamic gives rise to the concept of “same-age friends,” making it easier for people born in the same year to interact casually and form friendships.

Lee Jun-young as Hong Si-junWhen asked for advice for struggling young creatives, Jun-young said: “I hope that if anyone is out there who, like Si-jun, needs consultation or help from others but you are unable to ask for that, just try to do it. At least once, try to reach out to your loved ones and tell them how you really feel.”

So-nee also stressed on the importance of being surrounded by the right people when pursuing one’s dreams, saying, “I feel like what kind of people you surround yourself with is extremely important, and I think the characters in our drama are also able to gain the courage to go on through the people around them.”
