Barbie Forteza believes that many of the viewers are intelligent where the quality of a project is more important to them than the personal life of the characters.
A perfect example is the BarDa loveteam of Barbie and David Licauco, first enjoyed and loved by viewers in the highly acclaimed primetime series Maria Clara at Ibarra.

"I think there are many people who are smart now, I won't say anyone, but there are many who all watch for the content, for the quality of the film or the series and not so much looking forward to the personal lives of the artists, " Barbie said in an exclusive interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).
After Maria Clara At Ibarra, the projects of the combination of Barbie and David have followed in GMA-7, such as the limited series Maging Sino Ka Man and the upcoming war drama Pulang Araw.
Ngayon ay mapapanood na rin ang BarDa tandem sa pelikula sa pamamagitan ngΒ That Kind of LoveΒ ng Pocket Media Productions. Ipalalabas ito sa mga sinehan simula sa July 10, 2023.
At the presscon of That Kind of Love, held on June 20 at Plaza Ibarra, Timog Avenue, Quezon City, PEP asked Barbie what she thinks are the advantages and disadvantages when a loveteam is not in a real relationship like the case of her and David .
According to the Kapuso actress: "The thrill will always be there. The excitement and the fantasy will always be there, whether it will be us or not will always be there.
"The chemistry won't die because, isn't it, when you give it up, when you become each other, there's no more thrill, no more...
"There's a chance that the thrill will be reduced because the thrill they already have will be reduced, eh, that's how it is, isn't it?
"The disadvantage is when you're not in a relationship and you're in a love team, you have to put in double effort in terms of making the scene work, of course.
"The comfortability it takes is a lot of adjustment. Like, the personal relationship, the bond between the two of you needs to be tight so that you can feel comfortable in the scenes.
"That's because your scenes are scenes of people who dance.
"The only disadvantage is that your effort will be doubled."

BARDA LAUNCHING MOVIE
Because the BarDa loveteam is launching That Kind Of Love, is Barbie feeling nervous or under pressure?
"I'm more excited because, looking back, I was so thrilled while doing this film. I'm very excited to be thrilled again while watching it now," said the actress.
"Here, you have a lot to look forward to. Because here, we try to achieve the movie-like kind of romance.
"That's what we all dream of, isn't it? That life like a movie where a very rich handsome businessman falls in love with you.
