I reposted this because I liked what was written about John Lloyd and Bea. I'm a fan, not ashamed to admit it. For someone who can be considered half-American in terms of taste, watching John Lloyd and Bea keeps me Filipino.
I cannot pinpoint when I fell in love with their loveteam. I didn't catch them in Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay, I was in Chicago then. I saw a bit of them in that show with Claudine and Diether, but I just got back from the U.S. around that time and I felt like I outgrew the whole teleserye thing. I remember watching Now that I Have You, I'm not sure why I did, but I liked it. Then Maging Sino Ka Man came and I just totally fell in love. I don't know if I tuned into the special premiere by accident, but I thought that the cinematography was beautiful and that the storyline was pretty interesting. I continued watching but I missed an episode which caused me to miss several more because I ended up being confused. After a while, I decided to tune in again and I was hooked from then on. If I remember correctly, I even rescheduled some activities just so I could watch the finale. I loved the show so much I bought the entire DVD set as a Christmas present to myself. I haven't gotten around to revisiting the series; I think I'm on the 2nd or 3rd volume.
Nevertheless, from then on, I was a John Lloyd-Bea fan. Watched all their movies. Have them on DVD as well. Followed Book 2, waiting for the DVD but I don't think it's coming. I followed I Love Betty Lafea but not as closely as Maging Sino Ka Man. I'm wishing that they'd release DVDs so I can watch the series completely, but no luck there until now.
As a fan, I'd have to admit I wish they'd end up together off-screen. But that's for fate to decide. I've grown to love both as individual actors as well; both are equally astounding. I watch their individual projects to show my support, but of course, nothing beats watching both of them together. I just simply love their tandem. Aside from the fact that they're absolutely beautiful together, their chemistry is simply unparalleled. Their tandem is classy; it's honest, it's unforced. I can't find the perfect word for it, it's something I'd still have to search for, but it's lovely and simply beautiful.
Reading some of the articles about their upcoming movie Miss You Like Crazy, I got a bit disturbed by the comparisons, especially with John Lloyd's team up with Sarah Geronimo. I'm probably biased. I find JL's team up with Sarah entertaining; I saw both of their movies, I enjoyed it, it was cute. But it doesn't give me the affecting satisfaction that John Lloyd and Bea do. Similarly, I saw And I Love You So, and I was very happy that Bea was finally recognized and given rightful credit as an amazing actress. But my heartstrings just do not get pulled the same way, unless it's John Lloyd and Bea.
With that said, I guess I don't really care what other people say. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. But I sincerely hope that Miss You Like Crazy does extremely well. But regardless of how it does, I'm going out this weekend to watch it. And I know that I will enjoy myself and I will feel like a Filipino once again, because Hollywood love stories definitely tug my heartstrings differently and no one delivers like John Lloyd and Bea.
(And no matter how cheesy it sounds, I have missed them like crazy... :p)

Fate brings them together…Fate tears them apart…Will
As in the case of such immortal loveteams as Carmen Rosales and Rogelio dela Rosa, Nida Blanca and Nestor de Villa, Gloria Romero and Luis Gonzales, Susan Roces and Eddie Gutierrez, Vilma Santos and Christopher de Leon, there’s no romantic love but only pure friendship between John Lloyd and Bea off camera, and yet their loveteam ticks and clicks because on the
You can’t help but fall in love with them, whether on the small screen where their love started to bloom or on the big screen where it continues to flourish. Theirs is a loveteam for all seasons, for all reasons.
Bea was only 14 when she was paired with John Lloyd in the ABS-CBN soap Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay, with Lorna Tolentino among their co-stars, followed by a few more including Maging Sino Ka Man Books 1 and 2 and I Love Betty La Fea. Before Miss You Like Crazy, they starred in three movies, all for Star Cinema, namely Close to You, Now That I Have You and One More Chance.
They have been paired with other partners, Bea with Piolo Pascual and others and John Lloyd with Sarah Geronimo and others, but their fans clamor for more of them together. That’s why the title of their new starrer is really apt. Their fans miss John Lloyd and Bea like crazy.
Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, Miss You Like Crazy will surely rekindle in moviegoers the same beautiful feeling nurtured by previous John Lloyd-Bea starrers.
“I’m happy to be working with direk Cathy again,” said John Lloyd.
“Direk Cathy knows very well John Lloyd and my working habits,” said Bea. “Sanay na kami sa isa’t-isa.”
Also starring Maricar Reyes, Miss You Like Crazy is direk Cathy’s first project since she lost her
In the story, John Lloyd and Maricar play sweethearts until Bea, while on holiday from her work as a hotel front-desk officer in Kuala Lumpur, comes into the picture. Bea and John Lloyd meet and match, only for fate to step in and bring them apart. Then they meet again, only for John Lloyd to find out that it isn’t possible for their love story to start all over again because fate is playing tricks on them. But then, true love triumphs in the end somehow.
