As main character, MNL48 Abby has been preparing for her role and she will flying to japan for taping. “Bukod po sa singing and dancing, forte ko po talaga ang acting kaya sobrang natutuwa po ako.

A casting audition and screening was held last april where MNL48 members were given a chance to audition for the film’s leads, aside from Abby, Brei binuya and Coleen Trinidad will also be part of the film playing supporting roles as Abby’s sisters while Kay Ishiyama will be part of the casts.
