Mikee Quintos finds herself anew in ‘The Dropped Recipe’

From taking part in oppressed supporting figures on Tv set, Mikee Quintos is all set to blossom into a fine top girl via the approaching primetime Television set collection, “The Dropped Recipe.”

The fantasy romance-sequence, which will premiere on GMA News Television on January 18, 8 p.m., revolves around adore, time journey and the culinary planet.

The story centers on Harvey (played by new GMA top person Kelvin Miranda), a unsuccessful chef who gets the likelihood to travel back in time to examine and study below the Matriarch of Filipino Foods herself, Conchita Valencia (Quintos). But Harvey unintentionally normally takes her adobo recipe with him when he returns to the upcoming, as a result shifting the food stuff empire constructed on the famed recipe.

As she performs Conchita and her existing-day reincarnation Apple Valencia, viewers who have adopted Quintos considering that her debut in clearly show enterprise in 2016 could possibly be stunned to see their favourite supporting character sporting new hairdo and fashion sense.

“My higher school close friends, when I sent them photographs from our taping, they teased me and explained, ‘Wow ang ganda ng suot mo. Hindi ka na mahirap sa story?” the bubbly younger actress jested at the virtual media meeting of her forthcoming display.

“Lagi kasi ako nakapambahay for those people reveals so na-take pleasure in ko naman [taping for ‘The Lost Recipe’], ang saya din palang magazine-ayos,” Quintos continued with a chuckle.

She was, of course, referring to the characters in her earlier exhibits that centered on familial features — as Lira in the fantasy sequence, “Encantadia” remake as Maila in “Onanay” as Mia in a further drama-fantasy, “Sirkus” and most lately, as Amor in the Alden Richards-starrer primetime collection, “The Gift.” In these projects she performed a sister or a daughter to the central character.

But much more than the aesthetic change, “The Lost Recipe” also authorized Quintos to check out a little something she has not carried out in earlier demonstrates.

“Ito yung to start with time na nagkakaroon ako ng option mag discover and magazine-aral as an actor how to link in a intimate way sa aking mga major guys.”

‘Nahanap ko sa sarili ko to. One working day, kausap ko yung performing mentor ko na si Ana Feleo at sabi ko, ‘Parang hirap ako magbukas, bakit? Hindi naman ako ganito — ahead of the pandemic, ang dali ng ganito sa akin.”

Then it dawned on Quintos that the months of isolation in 2020 due to the pandemic played a hand.

For so quite a few months, medyo naging survival manner tayong lahat — like, ‘hindi ako pwedeng ma-pressure, magazine-worry, we have to deal with every thing that’s heading on in a clever way.’ So medyo matagal akong nag-remain doon [in that mindset].”

To triumph over this wrestle, Quintos mentioned she had to uncover herself yet again.

“Para akong nag back-to-zero for this project, as in kinilala ko ulit yung sarili ko, I maximed the workshops, ang laking tulong nun.”

As a final result, by the middle of their to start with week in their locked-in taping, Quintos reported she instantly discovered the emotional walls she place up gradually falling down.

“And it support na nagiging near kami [her co-stars] in actual life so na-delight in ko naman but there was a battle [at first],” Quintos ended.
