Actress Kim Chiu is sacrificing a lot for her new series "My Binondo Girl."

Chiu said that aside from lowering the tone of her voice, she also needs to endure the pain of binding her breasts.



"Bine-bend ko siya ng bendang benda na konti na lang yung hininga ko. Basta yung hininga mo ay konti lang kasi ang sikip sikip na tapos ang init init pa at sobrang masakit na kapag gumalaw ka ng todo ay masakit," Chiu said.



Despite the hardship, Chiu said there's no reason to worry because the show's production was there to help.



"Hindi naman (nagwo-worry) at ok lang naman yon. At saka kapag take lang naman namin bini-benda kapag cut na tinatanggal namin," she added.



Chiu also shared said that for the series, she had to watch shows where girls pretended to be boys like "Hana Kimi" and "Boys Don't Cry."



"Ang dami kong pinanood na ganoong movie yung babae na nagpanggap na lalaki, ang dami kong napanood at doon madami akong natutunan at nakuhang tip para gampanan yung role," she said.



In the end, Chiu hopes that viewers would see her effort for the show and would watch it from beginning till end.



"Well sana, tina-try ko naman ang full effort ko para mapaganda ang show na ito. Masaya ako na binigyan ako ng ganitong klaseng chance at tiwala. Siyempre gagampanan ko yon sa abot ng aking makakaya. Hanggang kaya ko gagawin ko," she said.



Meamwhile, Chiu was also game in addressing question if she would be willing to do a kissing scene with a girl.



"Kung sa ikakaganda ng show na ito bakit hindi? Napanindigan ko nga na ako ay lalaki, eh role lang naman ito. Ok ako sa ikakaganda ng show na ito, sa ikagugulat niyo bakit hindi?" she said.



Asked which girl she prefers to kiss, she said: "Ayaw ko ng maging choosy. Kahit sino na lang."



"My Binondo Girl" directed by Malu Sevilla will premiere on August 22 (Monday).
