Effective role for Jackie Rice
It seems Jackie Rice is playing Lucy in “My Love From The Star” effectively because she’s getting into the nerves of fans of the series.
Her being “plastic” to Steffi (Jennylyn Mercado) is clear to fans who are, of course, on Steffi’s side. Lucy is also in love with Winston (Christian Bautista) who in turn has eyes only for Steffi.
The Philippine adaptation of the hit Koreanovela “My Love From The Star,” also starring Gil Cuerva, airs weeknights on GMA Telebabad.
