Another Kapamilya love team is giving viewers a daily dose of kilig. Joshua Garcia and Kira Balinger’s budding romance in ABS-CBN afternoon drama The Greatest Love is thrilling fans to no end.
Viewers are drawn to the on-screen chemistry of Kira and Joshua, who play Y and Z. Netizens also shared their appreciation for the rising love team as they went giddy over their first kilig moments.
“Right now, we are still in the ‘getting to know each other’ stage. But our story has just started. There is still a lot to watch out for,” said Joshua.
The Kapamilya star also reacted positively to the fans’ constant comparison between him and multi-awarded actor John Lloyd Cruz. “I am very happy, who would not be? It’s John Lloyd Cruz,” he said.
This has also led to fans dubbing his love team with Kira the next John Lloyd-Bea Alonzo tandem.
Meanwhile, Kira, who was introduced in the primetime series The Story of Us, treats her role in the afternoon drama as a huge challenge and an opportunity to learn. “It is really a big adjustment, because I spoke fluent English in The Story of Us, whereas here, I grew up in the slums, and I need to speak pure Tagalog. But it is all part of my growth as an artist,” explained Kira.
Y and Z’s paths have finally crossed. How will their budding friendship affect the lives of Gloria (Sylvia Sanchez) and her family?
The Greatest Love airs after Doble Kara on ABS-CBN or ABS-CBN HD (SkyCable ch 167).
