Spooky Nights presents Claudine

Manila, Philippines - Weekend TV viewers will see a different Claudine Barretto (photo) beginning tonight on GMA 7’s Spooky Nights Presents: Nuno sa Feng Shui after Andres de Saya.

In celebration of her birthday month, Claudine stars in the horror-comedy series as Mila, a woman cursed by a nuno since childhood. She may have a beautiful face but her hips and legs are just unusually and distractingly huge.

Mila lives a pretty plain life. She works in a store, takes care of her bedridden father and believes she will be an old maid. Thus, she often daydreams and fascinates herself with Chinese astrology and charms.

Mila’s life only becomes colorful when she meets Stephen Lee (TJ Trinidad), the only son of her Chinese employers. While Mila tries her best to attract Stephen, the latter does not even notice her or her clumsiness due to her enormous lower body.

One night, Mila gives food to an old beggar and shares with him her sentiments about her life and her disfigured body. The man presents to her a magical charm bracelet with a love potion that she has to rub three times against Stephen’s right hand to make him fall for her.

After many funny and desperate attempts, Mila succeeds in using the charm bracelet and Stephen gets smitten by her. However, this also starts many complications in her life.

Stephen’s superstitious mother, Mrs. Lee (Tiya Pusit), does not approve of Mila, a non-Chinese girl who is their store helper and whose zodiac sign is incompatible with Stephen’s. It is also revealed that the old beggar Mila helped is actually the nuno who cursed her.

Also in the cast are Marco Alcaraz, Daniel Fernando and Mona Louise Rey.
