Ysabel Ortega admits she felt challenged by Enchan, fight scenes in 'Sang'gre'
In Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Monday, the Sparkle star shared that there were times she would forget the nuances of language when they were shooting scenes for the series.
"Sobrang complex pala ng mundo [ng Encantadia], it's literally an alternate universe to the point na first day ko, as in, may mga times na I still forget 'yung mga nuances. May isa akong eksena nasabi ko, 'Tulungan mo ko, please' so syempre nag-cut kami. Sabi nila, 'Ysabel walang please sa Encantadia ha,'" she said.
Ysabel also talked about her challenging yet rewarding role as Armea, which required fight scenes.
"More on refresher na lang sa sword fighting, kasi sword po 'yung weapon ko dito sa 'Sang'gre,' so of course training din for the scenes that we have," she said.
"Nag-t-training talaga kami a day before shooting para talagang ma-master na 'yung mga fight scenes na gagawin namin for the show," she added.
Ysabel stars as Armea, the daughter of King Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid) and Queen Alena (Gabbi Garcia) of Sapiro. On last Wednesday's episode, Armea was officially crowned queen of the kingdom following the death of Ybrahim.
"Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube.
