Following the success of her TV series My Beloved and Tweets for my Sweets, Marian Rivera caps of 2012 with another top-rating primetime drama series Temptation of Wife.

Based on the very popular Korean drama of the same title, Marian says she is quite intent on making her own mark as one of the lead characters even declaring that she has foregone all limi-tations to make sure it becomes one of her most memorable performances.

“Pinaghandaan ko talaga ang Tempta-tion of Wife, lalo na sa magiging bago kong character. Talagang pinag-usapan namin ng director and executive producer namin kung anong approach ang pwedeng gawin. Ang sabi ko I don’t have any limi-tations when it comes to my role. Kung kailangang mag-bathing suit, na di ko naman ginagawa, sabi ko go!” Marian explained.

While her fans might be surprised about her new feisty and daring per-sona, Marian explains it was necessary to give justice to her character—a wife betrayed by her husband and best friend who would return to avenge herself.

“Ito yung soap na ma-sasabi kong kina-limutan ko na ang li-mitations ko. Hindi naman nakaka-takot yung decision ko. Ayaw ko lang talaga nagre-reject. Parang ang dami ko na ring pinagdaanan so sayang din,” she further adds.

It is also natural for Marian to push her acting skills as she is pitted with award-winning actor Dennis Trillo, respected dramatic actress Glaiza de Castro and the newest Kapuso actor Rafael Rosell.

So far she is happy about the good reviews she’s been hearing about the show. This she says, is the driving force to excel more in her craft as an actress.

Apart from her television show, Marian is also looking forward to doing another film and hopes that her movie with Coco Martin begins and finishes next year. She is also scheduled to do a reunion movie with Richard Gutierrez which is also set for release next year. There are also talks of a project with another Kapamilya actor as well as an action flick produced by her boyfriend Dingdong Dantes.

Marian says she is grateful for another busy and productive career and is looking forward and hoping for more blessings in 2013.

She, however, admits that due to their hectic schedules, she and boyfriend Dingdong have less time to spend together. Dingdong is also busy working on his own drama series entitled “Pahiram ng Sandali” with Lorna Tolentino, Christopher de Leon and Max Collins.

“Tawagan na lang kami lagi. Pero natutuwa ako pag dumadalaw siya sa set. Ako hindi ko siya mapuntahan kasi malalayo ang taping nila,” related Marian.

But the celebrity couple makes sure they make time for themselves, as the two left for Las Vegas yesterday, December 6 for a much needed vacation.
