Reid also reflected on the pressure of returning to the screen after nearly seven years since his last teleserye, noting: “It’s very new again. I’m still getting used to it. There’s always pressure, but pressure is good. It means people have high expectations, it means everyone’s very excited.”
While details about the Dreamscape Entertainment project remain under wraps, Reid kept fans intrigued.
“It’s something we’re going to work out along the way. It’s very exciting. It’s my first time working with another leading lady. So I’m trying to just give it my best, give it my all, and then see what happens. Hope for the best,” he added.
The two are set to start taping this September.
