It is indeed the most challenging roles for Marian so far. She admitted that she will have a hard time portraying the character. Did she consult her husband? Marian answers, “Siyempre, ngayong kapag magdedesisyon na ako, hindi na pwedeng ako na lang at manager ko. Kahit papaano sasabihin ko sa asawa ko na may ganito akong project. Siyempre, nag-uusap kami bilang respeto sa isa’t isa. Kasi, medyo kinabahan akong gawin siya. Bago kasi siya sa akin, hindi ko alam kung anong approach ang gagawin ko. Pero sabi naman niya, take it as a challenge.”
She will be joined by Glaiza De Castro, Luis Alandy, Katrina Halili, Al Tantay, Glydel Mercado, Tony Mabesa, Paolo Contis, Pauleen Luna, TJ Trinidad, Mike Tan, Sheena Halili and Charee Pineda.
