This is the first time the network is shooting in South Korea for an original series and the first time Kapuso stars will work with popular Korean actors. Heart Evangelista and Alexander instantly warmed up to each other when they started filming for 'My Korean Jagiya.' at MBC Cultural Village, the same exact location where the famous former Kapuso series, Jewel in the Palace was filmed.
