If you've seen the trailer of the movie, there's that scene where Kathryn's character, Joy, tells Alden's character, Ethan, "I love you," and Ethan replies, "Kaso I don't love you."

In a video uploaded by Star Cinema, Kathryn and Alden share fun facts about making the film, including why that particular "I love you-I don't love you" scene actually took a long time to film.

The video opens with Kathryn and Alden belting out a line from the movie's theme song, "Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw." They then watch the "I love you" scene together and Alden even poked fun at how he said the words "Next time."

Video:

"This scene was shot in two days," Alden revealed. "Because the scene is a bit difficult. And at the same time, there are a lot of external factors that are considered at that time. Light continuity, since we're shooting the light background behind us.

By the time it was my reverse shot, I had already died. the light. So we had to come back the second time plus the wind, then it rained that time."

Here's where Kathryn connects the dots to the time her boyfriend Daniel Padilla surprised her when he visited her in Hong Kong when the Hello, Love, Goodbye team was busy filming the movie.

"That scene, that's when DJ surprised me," Kathryn shared. "So they hid DJ because that scene was heavy. So I had to be sad that day. That morning, DJ had already arrived, but they hid him in the room so I wouldn't be happy."

Alden and Kathryn go on to talk about why that scene is so important in the movie and how it sets the stage for their characters' transformation in the film.

"The big thing about the script and how it was written to make this scene work is that there's no "We were just sitting there, talking," Alden said, facing Kathryn. "It was really the lines, and how Direk Cathy directed it and how Kath and I did the scene. I guess it was a collaboration."

Kathryn has a super important tip to share with those who haven't watched the movie yet. Listen well.

"'When it's released in the cinema, don't go there and do a CR because he's important," Kathryn shared. LOL!

"We're very happy, " Alden said when asked to share how he felt when he saw the scene for the first time. "It's like we're not. When I saw it, I didn't see Kath. Then it's like I didn't see myself either."

Kathryn along with other ABS-CBN stars was recently part of a network event in San Francisco, and will be promoting Hello, Love, Goodbye with Alden in the Middle East. Alden, on the other hand, is set to appear in a new GMA teleserye.
