RICHARD Gutierrez is back to being normal.

After playing fantastic characters in "Mulawin," "Capt. Barbell," "Kamandag," "Zorro" and other actioners, he now plays a role dear to himself in real life, that of a top movie star in the local remake of the Koreanovela, "Full House," a hit series all over Asia that starred Korean superstar, Rain, who now stars in the Hollywood actioner "Ninja Assassin."

"I love my role as Justin as he's a normal guy, hindi lumilipad o nakikipag-espadahan," says Chard. "It's both romantic and comic, something I've done on the big screen but first time ko sa TV."

Paired with Heart Evangelista, they play a couple living under the roof of one beautiful house, supposedly married but in paper only. Many comic and intriguing situations arise while they're living together, with them starting off as enemies until they realize that... but that's getting ahead of the story, so be sure to watch out for "Full House" when it starts airing on November 30 to replace "Rosalinda". As you read this, Chard, Director Mark Reyes and other members of the cast have flown to Prague to tape some important scenes there. One of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe, it's best known for the Infant Jesus of Prague (their version of the Sto. NiƱo) who attracts millions of devotees all over the world.

Chard is elated to work with Heart again after "Code- name: Asero." "We have good on-screen chemistry and I'm sure viewers will enjoy seeing her in the role of the perky, bubbly Jessie, originally played by Korean actress Song Hye Kyo. Jessie is a writer who owns the house called Full House."

Supporting them in "Full House" are Patrick Garcia, Isabel Oli and Pilita Corrales. With "Full House," we're sure Richard's reign as the Primetime King will continue. The question now is: will Richard's version of "Full House" top that of Rain’s in the ratings game?
