Kapamilya actress Kim Chiu can't help but put a smile on her face after the success of their Prime series "Linlang" with Paulo Avelino and JM De Guzman. 

Playing the role of Juliana in the series, Kim's acting skills have gained the attention of the viewers, saying that the actress could be the next Vilma Santos in the making. 

During their thanksgiving media conference at the Terrace Manila in Quezon City on Oct. 31, Kim shared her reaction when people call her the next Drama Queen. 

"Punong-puno po ng pasasalamat yung puso ko ngayon, punong-puno ng pagmamahal. Parang wala pong paglagyan ng kalungkutan sa puso ko ngayon kundi buong-buong kasiyahan po, kasi parang yung takot ko dati parang napalitan po ng isang malaking success na hindi namin inakala," Kim shared. 

(My heart is full of gratitude now, full of love. It seems that there is no sadness in my heart now but full of happiness because it seems that my fear before has been replaced by a great success that we did not expect.) 

Kim also shared that she's a bit nervous and blushing thinking about the new title given to her. 

"Jusko nahiya ako kay ma'am Vilma pero hello po! Nagkasama po kami sa trabaho sobrang bait po niya. Pero jusko wag naman ganun agad (laughs) but I'm very grateful now" she added. 

(I was almost embarrassed by ma'am Vilma but hello! We worked together before. She was very kind. But don't call me drama queen (laughs), but I'm very grateful now.) 

For the last six episodes of the series, more revelations from the cast will unravel as they reach the end of the story. 

Kim on 'Linlang' experience 

Taking a leap of faith in portraying the role of Juliana, Kim shared that doing the project has been a great experience for her. 

"Fear ko nung una is baka hindi ito suportahan ng ibang tao, yun talaga yung kinakatakot ko kasi first time ko gumawa ng black or gray role na hindi usually nakikita sa akin ng viewers, and first time ko din sumugal, kaya sabi ko sige try ko," Kim said. 

(My fear at first was that other people might not support it, that's what I was really afraid of because this is also the first time I did a black or gray role that viewers don't usually see, and it was also the first time I gambled on a role. So I said go ahead and try.) 

According to Kim, she was happy and shocked that people were able to separate her character as Juliana from real life. 

"Okay naman siya and sobrang happy ako and nagulat talaga ako napaghihiwalay nila si Juliana at Kim Chiu, yung parang sabi nila Kim mahal na mahal kita pero galit na galit ako kay Juliana, like ako parang aww thank you so much," she added. 

(It's okay and I'm very happy and I'm really surprised that they separated Juliana and Kim Chiu. It's like they said Kim I love you so much, but I'm so mad at Juliana, I'm like aww thank you so much)
