According to the actress, the movie changed how she perceives love and taught her to be braver in commitments.

“Ito ang pelikulang bumago sa akin, nagturo sa akin na mas lalong maging matapang at nagparealize sa akin importansya ng pagmamahal, pagpapatawad at pagmamahal ng paulit uli,” she wrote on Instagram.

She also thanked the GMA star for joining her in the journey and building a friendship along the way.

“Salamat sa pagsama sa akin sa journey na ito. Salamat sa pagkakaibigan, salamat at napakadali ng lahat dahil magkasama tayo sa proyektong ito,” she added.

Earlier this month, they also shared on their individual social media profiles a brief scene of their characters in a heated argument. Montes confronted him to demand an explanation for coming home late and drunk.

He tells her that he had been part of a group study and lost track of time. This only angers her as she accuses him of infidelity.

While it's definite that the movie will come out this year, the specific release date has not been disclosed yet.

It was only in April when it was announced that Montes and Richards will be collaborating in a movie for the first time.

Montes was last seen on television when she starred with her long-time boyfriend Coco Martin in "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano." The series ended last year.
