Pinay actress Cherish Maningat has this amazing experience with Korean star Lee Sung Kyung
Cherish Maningat, a Pinay actress who is based in South Korea since 2006, shared the amazing experience she had with Korean star Lee Sung Kyung.
In an interview with Cosmo last January, Cherish revealed how landed a role in the series Dr. Romantic Season 2. The 34-year-old theater, film and TV actress shared that she got a call to audition for a TV series.
Initially, she had no idea what show it was. “I just went there. I read the script and then acted it out in front of the directors and producers,” Cherish said. She plays the role of an abused wife. This was not the first Korean series or movie stint of the Pinay actress in Korea. She also appeared in Heart Surgeons, Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life, My Little Hero, Missing, Showdown, Bacchus Lady, Stand By Me, and Romang.
Cherish also shared on her Instagram account the first encounter she had with the lead actress of the series, Lee Sung Kyung. She said that it was the first day of their shooting for the second season and there was a delay.
It was a scene where too many people were rushing to the hospital. Since there was a delay, the Pinay actress said that they were just sitting on a picnic mat on the floor. Then, Sung Kyung mingled with them. “She told us she’s learning English and she told us her life verse (Hebrews 11:1). She told me, “You know, Jesus loves you!” Cherish shared.
According to her, she was going through something painful at that time. “I was praying to God to tell me He loves me. And I told her what I was going through and that I actually asked God to tell me that He loves me. And I know God used her to tell me that!” she said. Cherish also said that the Korean star told her that she will be praying for her.
“Those aren’t empty words. You know when we say something and we don’t do it, we’re lying, right? And I don’t want to sin, so I’m telling you, I WILL REALLY PRAY FOR YOU,” Cherish related what Sung Kyung told her.
The amazing experience of the Pinay actress with the Korean star did not end there. “Whenever she sees me on our shooting days, she will come to me and hug me. She even asks me what happened to the situation that I was in,” she shared. Cherish also shared that the Korean star even prayed with her when the Taal eruption happened.
