Melissa Gohing ‘furious’ over husband Rocco Nacino’s ‘Descedants’ love team with Jasmine Curtis-Smith
MANILA, Philippines — Whenever star athlete Melissa Gohing has time, she would watch Rocco Nacino’s movies and TV series. But among her husband’s projects, her most favorite is the Philippine adaptation of hit Korean drama “Descendants of the Sun” (DOTS).
In an exclusive interview with Philstar.com at the recent opening of Old Navy in One Ayala Mall in Makati City, Melissa said “Descendants” is her favorite since she is also a fan of the K-drama.
"I still love his scenes with Jasmine (Curtis-Smith)," Melissa professed.
She recalled that during their second year together, she insisted that Rocco looks like Jin Goo, the Korean actor who originally starred as Wolf in "DOTS."
"As in, I edited the two pictures (of Rocco and Jin Goo), I put them together, I said, 'You really look alike!'" Melissa recalled on how her composite image of her husband and Jin Goo became a trending social media topic even before the Philippine adaptation was in the works.
"Because at that time, 'Encantadia' was trending, then at the bottom, 'Wolf Rocco - Descendants of the Sun' was trending, so I said, who is it? What is Jin Goo?,” Rocco shared, admitting that he did not know of the series and the actor at the time.
"Fast-forward to 2016, we're doing 'Descendants of the Sun,' with a replay of 'Encantadia,' in reverse," Rocco reminisced.
Melissa and Rocco were also among the guests at the recent new collection launch of footwear label Mini Melissa, which boasts of new arrivals, including Disney's iconic princesses, Mickey Mouse and Friends, Peppa Pig, Ultragirl Sweet, Possession, Shiny Elements, Charlie sneaker style collections, which, like other Mini Melissa shoes, are Vegan Society-registered, cruelty-free, and made of flexible EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) insole for stability and comfort, as well as MelFlex, a resilient kind of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC or vinyl) developed with Melissa's own technology. — Video by Deni Rose M.
