“Supreme Actress” Lovi Poe is on a roll these days. Reason for this is because her highly acclaimed series, “Flower of Evil,” is now part of the Primetime Bida block of the Kapamilya network starting today, November 7.
When the series first aired on Viu, Lovi received glowing reviews for portraying Iris Castillo-del Rosario in the Philippine adaptation of the Korean hit show. The series was Lovi’s first series for the Kapamilya network. It also marks her first entry in the suspense – mystery and action genre. “At least for the duration of this series I fulfilled my dream of being an ‘Action Queen’,” said Lovi.
Lovi could not forget the fact that the people on the set started calling her “LPJ” or “DA Queen” in reference to her father, FPJ. “I really enjoyed having that illusion, even if it was just the duration of the taping of the series,” the actress confessed.
As a police detective, Lovi was required to do a lot of stunts in the action sequences, fight scenes, chase scenes, and instead of a handbag or a purse, her accessory this time was a hand gun. “I’m really proud of our show, and I hope that the television viewers will love it as well. I am truly grateful for having the best production staff, directors and a wonderful cast,” she admitted. “I truly loved working with all my co actors in the show because they were all extremely dedicated to the project. Piolo Pascual, my leading man, who did his best and was very supportive and encouraging, and so were Paulo Avelino who delivered a great performance as the root of all evil, the same goes for the rest of my co-stars,” relayed the actress.
Lovi will return from the US soon because she will show another side of her personality with her musical skills to our fellow kababayans abroad, as she takes part in “Asap NatinTo” at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
“Flower of Evil” starts airing this Monday, 9:30 p.m. on the Kapamilya Channel, Jeepney TV, A2Z and TV 5. The series also stars JC De Vera, Denise Laurel, Agot Isidro, Joem Bascon, Joross Gamboa, Rita Avila, Jett Pangan and Edu Manzano.
