Heidi secretly detests Angeline because she feels that fate has always favored Angeline over her and has given her the things — and people — that Heidi had always wanted. One of which is Angeline’s husband, Marcel.
Reflecting about her role in the series, Marian says it is way different from her role in her previous series “Amaya” and “My Beloved.”
“Mas malalim ito at saka mas mabigat. Although wala pa naman akong asawa, pero ito yung nakikita mo talagang sa totoong buhay na nangyayari na ang asawa ay may kabit tapos yung kabit pa yung mas matapang kaysa sa asawa,” she said.
In order to have some sort of bases for the internalization of their characters, the cast watched the original (Korean) version of “Temptation of Wife.” Although the scenes are just as intense, Marian says the Philippine version is less violent but more emotional.
“Ang mas importante ay nabibigyan namin ng Pinoy version tayo na mas madamdamin, mas sensitive, mas may puso. Feeling ko yun ang talagang maipaglalaki namin dito sa ‘Temptation of Wife,” she explained.
Asked whether she is fine with the scuffle and tussle required in her scenes with Glaiza, Marian says she has gotten used to having bruises all over her body from her shows.
“Sa lahat naman ng soap ko binubugbog ako. Sanay na yung katawan ko (laughs),” she quipped.
In real life, Marian and Glaiza are very comfortable working together. They became close when they worked together in “Amaya.”
“Nakakatuwa na kahit tapos na yung Amaya ay hindi pa rin nawawala yung tawagan namin sa isa’t isa na ‘Bai’ (pronounced Ba-i). Nakakatawa na kapag nagkikita kami halimbawa sa Party Pilipinas, yun pa rin ang tawagan namin. Kaya natuwa rin ako nang malaman kong siya ang makakasama ko kasi kumportable din, kilala namin ang isa’t isa. Halimbawa ‘pag may eksena na kunwari nasampal ako ni Glaiza yung parang alam namin na wala lang yun, hindi siya magiging big deal,” said Marian.
“Temptation of Wife” airs weeknights after Aso ni San Roque on GMA-7.
