The seeds of love, deceit, and revenge have been planted in the trending premiere of the newest Kapamilya series, "Lavender Fields." On the surface, everything seemed light and breezy as the romance between Jasmin (Jodi Sta. Maria) and Arthur (Jericho Rosales) began to blossom, much like a fresh bouquet, after she found him in her family’s garden and helped him when she realized he had been in an accident.
But the radiance only stretched as far as the eye could see. Beneath the sweet love affair lies a different reality, as the pilot carefully unravels the double life that Arthur leads. Dig beneath the surface, and you’ll find the roots and stems beginning to wilt—just like the scenes revealing his cracked, dry, and brittle marriage with Iris (Janine Gutierrez).
While Episode 1 of “Lavender Fields” was filled with hidden thorns, things were much more laid-back behind the scenes. Well, if you’re surrounded by the refreshing blooms of Atok, Benguet, the vibe is bound to be playful and full of sunshine!
Check out the gallery for some behind-the-scenes photos from the show’s pilot episode that are pure eye candy and sure to brighten your day!
In the photos, we see Jodi and Jericho goofing around between takes, their chemistry even more enchanting as they stand amidst the flower fields—hyacinths, hydrangeas, lavender, and countless other blooms surround them in the backdrop. This floral paradise isn’t just for show—it’s central to the story, as Jasmin's family owns a garden that supplies flowers for sale.
We caught Jodi sharing light-hearted moments with her on-screen mom, Lotlot de Leon. There are also snaps from their indoor scenes, where director Manny Palo is spotted deep in discussion with his stars, ensuring every detail sprouts perfectly on screen.
A few stills are included in the album, and doesn’t Jodi look beautiful as she embodies the simple life of Jasmin? She fully immerses herself in the role of a gardener, and you can sense how much she enjoys every scene surrounded by the serenity and charm of flowers.
As Jodi puts it in her caption, filming the episode reminded her of the oft-quoted adage: “Where life plants you, bloom with grace.” We can’t wait to see how this saying reflects Jasmin’s journey, where every moment will flaunt her character’s resilience and beauty.
Catch all episodes of “Lavender Fields,” airing weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, TV5, and A2Z.
