Despite the challenge of emotional shifts in front of the camera, she embraces the role with passion. “She&#x27;s like a <em>konyong</em>, <em>maangas</em> girl <em>talaga</em> in the series,” she described. ”So, a character close to who I already am. <em>Kaya parang</em> it was easy to play but at the same time, it was hard <em>kasi</em> I was trying to play Olivia but not to be Rain <em>talaga</em><u></u>.” <em>Love at First Spike</em> is coming soon on iWantTFC!<em></em></p><p>In playing the role of Olivia, Rain sought tips on how to better prepare for her role. She read the script and threw lines on her own to practice her delivery. Rain shared that since the scenes were not filmed in sequence, she found it challenging to transition from one emotion to another, but it nevertheless tested her versatility and adaptability. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJwCjvryq9b/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A1319100.899999991%2C%22ls%22%3A19268.29999999702%2C%22le%22%3A19280.20000000298%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>“Actually <em>po</em>, like in a day, <em>hindi naman </em>in order ’<em>yung</em> sequence <em>na gagawin</em>. So, <em>minsan</em> you&#x27;re happy, <em>minsan</em> you&#x27;re sad in a day. So acting is really like playing with your emotions. That was the challenging part, <em>lalo na</em> it’s my first,” she shared.</p><p>Rain’s character is one to watch for as she poured her heart out for her character that many people of her age—and maybe even those younger or older than her—will find relatable. </p><p>“I think they&#x27;re gonna expect a ‘light’ Olivia. That is, you know, very totoo, very totoo siya na character. And, I&#x27;m excited to show them a relatable character,” Rain said. </p><p>Her friendship with Reign and Andi on-screen turned into a genuine off-screen connection. She said, “<em>Nagko</em>-connect <em>talaga kami sa </em>humor. <em>Parang</em> gets <em>talaga namin ang isa&#x27;t-isa</em>. And, <em>puro tawa na lang talaga</em> on set.” She’s glad to have friends she can rely on, especially because this is her first acting project. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJgYxm0utbn/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A1388498.399999991%2C%22ls%22%3A19268.29999999702%2C%22le%22%3A19280.20000000298%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Rain added, “<em>Naging</em> close<em> talaga kami</em>. We also eat out after… And, I would say <em>na</em> I&#x27;m so happy this is my first series with people <em>na</em> are fun to be with. <em>Kasi</em>, I was just imagining if my first series was with scary people, I would be very pressured. But then, because of them, my co-stars, who are very approachable, guiding, and welcoming, it was easier to work.”</p><p>When asked about the artist she looks up to the most, Rain shared, “Kathryn Bernardo <em>talaga</em>… I tried imagining myself, like, if I could act, how would I do it? <em>Kasi</em>, she&#x27;s doing it so well, so interesting <em>talaga</em>.” Rain would love to act alongside Kathryn Bernardo, and she’s willing to take any role as long as she can share a scene with Asia’s Superstar. “<em>P’wede naman pong kapatid kasi morena kami</em> both,” she said, before continuing with a laugh, “<em>Kahit sampalin niya pa ako sa </em>role!”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJgVADoSXRe/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=864&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A2889426.200000003%2C%22ls%22%3A13678.20000000298%2C%22le%22%3A14122%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Rain also ventures into music and is set to hold an album launch and fan meet, dubbed &quot;Meteor Rain,&quot; on May 30, 2025 at the Skydome in SM North EDSA.</p><div><br/></div><p>Lead photos from <strong>@raincelmar_</strong></p>
