“My character is actually a very strong woman. She’s portrayed as someone who’s strong despite all the challenges she will go through in the film… Once you see the journey of Iris, who is an OFW, just really trying to survive, trying to get through her problems, and eventually falling in love. It wasn’t even something she wanted but you’re going to see [it in the film],” she shared.

“For me, the chemistry is very crucial in the film and I really won’t settle for less. I have to admit that it’s another challenge for me because Win is Thai and Janella is Filipino. Aside from the language barrier and of course, these are two different cultures that you have to merge,” she shared.
