Award-winning actress Jodi Sta. Maria can't help but praise the newest generation leading man, Joshua Garcia, for his groundbreaking role as Renz in their series "Unbreak My Heart."

During their finale media conference at the Dolphy Theater last Oct. 14, Jodi shared how honored and lucky she is to witness Joshua's acting first-hand on the series.

"I'm just so blessed na maexperience first hand yung mga talento niya pagdating pag arte and I know maraming pa siyang magagawang projects in the future kasi napakawide ng range niya when it comes to acting," Jodi said.

(I'm just so blessed to be able to experience firsthand his talents when it comes to acting, and I know he will do many more projects in the future because his range is very wide when it comes to acting.)

Jodi also mentioned what she liked about Joshua's acting. "He is an intense actor. He's always keeping it fresh pagdating sa mga eksena. He is a natural, magaling talaga si Joshua, no doubt about it."

(He is an intense actor. He's always keeping it fresh when it comes to the scenes. He is a natural, Joshua is really good, no doubt about it)

But before heading to the finale, the two stars have created a noise regarding their intimate scenes in the series. According to Jodi, working with Joshua on the intimate scenes was awkward at first, but thanks to their sensuality workshops, she could work comfortably during the shoot.

"Yung mga ganung klase talaga ng scenes hindi siya madaling gawin, but I'm just so thankul to the production kasi they have provided us with sensuality and intimate workshops, and we made sure na nandun yung trust and resperto sa isa't isa," Jodi said.

(Those kinds of scenes are really not easy for me to do, but I'm just so thankful to the production because they have provided us with sensuality and intimate workshops, and we made sure that there is trust and respect for each other)

"Unbreak My Heart" airs on GMA Telebabad, Pinoy Hits, and I Heart Movies at 9:35 p.m. from Mondays to Thursdays, and 11:25 p.m. on GTV. It is also available on GMA Pinoy TV and TFC. It streams 48-hour advanced episodes on Viu and iWantTFC.
