The fashion-themed comedy-drama series marks the first team-up of Kim Chiu and Jake Ejercito, with the latter admitting that he felt pressured working with the Kapamilya actress.<\/p>\n

\u201cNoong una kong nalaman that I will be teamed up with her [Kim], na-pressure ako kasi siyempre it\u2019s multimedia star Kim Chiu. We actually did a couple of workshops before kami nag-start, which really helped ma-break \u2018yung ice,\u201d Jake said.<\/p>\n

As for Kim, she shared that she used humor to make Jake feel more comfortable on set. \u201cBiruan lang para tumawa naman siya. Ganun lang, mga simpleng joke, banatan,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In the eight-episode series, Kim plays Melanie, an aspiring fashion designer abandoned by her mother and sells ukay clothes for a living. When she meets a young fashion executive (Jake Ejercito) who takes notice of her talent, Melanie\u2019s life is turned upside down as she navigates the cutthroat world of the fashion industry where she embarks on a journey of self-awareness, empowerment, forgiveness, and love.<\/p>\n

Because the series showcases the Filipino\u2019s love for ukay-ukay (pre-loved clothes), Kim also embraced her character\u2019s vibrant and innovative fashion style by wearing clothes made from scrap materials and designed by local artists during the show\u2019s promo.<\/p>\n

In fact, Kim wore a basahan-inspired outfit in one of the media events that received positive feedback from netizens.<\/p>\n

Aside from Kim and Jake, \u201cFit Check\u201d also stars Angel Aquino, Kylie Verzosa, Christopher De Leon, KaladKaren, Liza Lorena, Frenchie Dy, Leo Consul, Lie Reposposa, and Justine Luzares. It also features cameos from the country\u2019s top fashion designers, models, and influencers.<\/p>\n

\u201cFit Check: Confessions of an Ukay Queen\u201d is now streaming in the Philippines and over 240 countries on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
