Sultry newcomer opens up about doing intimate scenes in Vivamax’s ‘Higop’

“They took care of me, we discussed everything beforehand. So, every intimate scene was well-communicated and rehearsed. Everything was done with my consent,” emphasized Hart, who sees her roles in Vivamax as a potential stepping stone toward her dream of becoming a recognized dramatic actress.

Directed by Topel Lee, Higop is a sexy drama that follows the story of Noah (played by Josef Elizalde), a charismatic lady’s man who undergoes a transformation when he reconnects with his past love, Ysa (Angelica).

Noah is a carefree individual known for his ability to charm and please women. Despite his numerous relationships, he remains haunted by memories of Ysa. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Noah stumbles upon Ysa, now going by the name Okinawa, working in a milk tea shop that transforms into a secret nightlife venue after dark.

“Noah’s longing and misery for his ex-lover changes when he chances upon Ysa working at a milk tea shop. However, she goes by the name Okinawa and denies their past,” Josef said.

A motivated and determined Noah is not about to let Ysa slip away again, so he investigates and finds out that the milk tea shop is a façade for a prostitution house. The names of the women that customers will “order” are based on milk tea flavors.

As Noah endeavors to win back Ysa’s heart, he uncovers a hidden world of underground business and learns that Ysa’s involvement is not by choice but rather a result of her relationship with Mon (played by Fabio Ide), a foreigner and the proprietor of the clandestine establishment.

“It’s a sexy movie that also tells an intriguing story. It’s not just about the skin, it has a story that a lot of people can relate to,” Fabio shared.

Completing the cast are Van Allen Ong, Lester Llansang, Aila Cruz, Zsara Laxamana, Princess Zian, Jonica Lazo, Joanna David, and Chloe Mendoza.

Higop is now streaming exclusively on Vivamax. — Nickie Wang
