Kilig Prince or Baker King?
Budding from his
Wattpad series,
Baker King is
Mark Neumann's biggest break to date as he jumps from '
kilig' roles to something more serious.
In fact, some of the scenes that viewers will witness tonight and in the next episodes would involve
action scenes that took hours to tape in pursuit of making the execution flawless to deliver quality soap for
Baker King followers.
He also took physical trainings in order to prepare for his fight scenes.
When
Showbiz Manila interviewed
Mark Neumann yesterday asking how he would handle criticisms and comparisons to the original
Korean Baker King TV series, he answered that he is not that worried since this Filipino version would have its own approach and
Pinoy touch that would appeal to the Filipino viewers.
