The date was awkward, funny, and ‘kilig’ all at the same time!
You have surely caught up with the recent episodes of 2 Good 2 Be True over the weekend, and we know you’re as crazy ‘kilig’ as us watching Captain Rosales/Kap (Cris Villanueva) and Margie (Gelli de Belen)’s “friendly” date.
There was a high dose of laughtrip, the adorable and sparkly kind, as Margie dolls up with the help of Pat (Bianca de Vera) and gets Ali (Kathryn Bernardo)’s approval after. Meanwhile, Kap low-key solicits suggestions to impress his date. His men sensed the panic and excitement and knew right away he is going out with Margie, adding another layer of ‘kulit’ to the episode.
The night turned romantic with Margie’s breathtaking entrance, then awkward as they arrive at the restaurant. But the date was pretty good for a nerbiyoso’t nerbiyosa. He drove her home. And after a shy and 'unli' exchange of goodbyes, he accidentally kissed her. Their facial expressions completely captured their shyness and crazy, confusing feelings.
Honestly, more than the good vibes, MarKap brings us a real representation of chivalry not being dead, and of a single mom with a traumatic past trying to revive her fun side. Thus, we’re looking forward to what happens next to their blossoming friendship, emphasis on friendship.
For now, we cure our hangovers with these behind-the-scenes photos of MarKap!

Far different from their awkwardness on-cam, the seasoned actors feel at ease with each other in real life. If you have been an avid follower of local showbiz since the ‘80s, you know for a fact that Gelli and Cris were two of the most popular stars of their generation.
In 2017, they were also cast in another Kapamilya series Magpahanggang Wakas as two of the show’s antagonists. It is therefore a breath of fresh air to see their rom-com chops currently on full display in 2 Good 2 Be True.

Isn’t it amusing how Margie comes up with a thousand-word response to Kap’s awkward one-liner? He may be a tough police investigator, but with Margie, tanggal-angas ni Kap.

Chemistry knows no age! But, of course, it also requires versatility and natural charm on the actors’ part. Good thing, Gelli and Cris have it all.

As for us, MarKap fans, we have Pat (Bianca De Vera) as our fairy godmother, the president of our ship. Honestly, it's heart-warming how Kap low-key plays daddy figure to Margie’s ‘bunso.’ He once chaperoned Pat to a party, then fixed the mother and daughter’s slight misunderstanding. He balances out the intense energy in the Fajardo abode.
