Belle Mariano, Donny Pangilinan, and a music video with a romantic-comedy spin directed by Antoinette Jadaone? Yes, please!
On most days, we see Belle Mariano and Donny Pangilinan taking on the roles of Caroline Tiu and Bingo Mariano, respectively. As the lead stars of Can’t Buy Me Love, they are unveiling the slow burn romance of their characters. But recently, they DonBelle another set of roles that makes us feel kilig all over again!
In the music video of Adie’s rendition of “Closer You and & I,” Donny and Belle played the roles of two employees who would often ride the same elevator and eventually developed feelings for each other. The equally comical yet endearing scenes were a classic for director Antoinette Jadaone’s previous works.
Unlike her role as Caroline, Belle’s character in the music video was jollier, often getting lost in her thoughts whenever she would daydream about her crush. Meanwhile, Donny shied away from Bingo’s rugged look and had a more polished appearance in the video.
“Kaka-miss din naman mag-romcom,” Jadaone wrote on her Instagram caption. She also thanked Belle, Donny, Adie, and the team for bringing her back to her romantic comedy self.
Marking the music video as the first project of the love team with the director, will we finally get another follow up film or series for them? While there is news that DonBelle will be topbill a horror film this year, they are also busy with their individual projects. Donny is promoting his upcoming film, GG, whereas Belle is also preparing for the release of Solemn, her second EP, the second part of sorts to the first one called Somber.
