Herlene Budol’s confrontation scene on 'Black Rider' applauded by netizens

The performance of Herlene Budol in her first appearance on GMA Telebabad’s “Black Rider” was well-applauded.

According to Aubrey Carampel’s report on “24 Oras," Tuesday, the scene where Herlene's character, Pretty, catches her husband with another woman has generated over 13 million views and counting.

Netizens were impressed by Herlene's excellent performance.

“Ang saya po ng ano ng pagtanggap din po sakin ng Black Rider at saka ng mga taong sumporta po sakin para po mag-guest po ako dito,” she said.

“Nakakatuwa po ‘yung rating po namin na parang may pa-surprise pa kanina ‘huy congrats’ kinongrats din po nila ko kahit guest lang po ako,” Herlene added.

[The joy of acceptance from Black Rider and the people who supported me to guest here is delightful. It's heartwarming that our ratings seemed to have a surprise element, with some saying, "Hey, congrats," and congratulating me even though I’m just a guest.]

Many viewers found the character of Pretty relatable as she is portrayed to be abused and deceived by her husband. According to Ruru Madrid, this is a theme they really want to highlight in the series.

“Hindi lamang po sa masasakit na salita o sa mga kilos na niloloko sila kundi pati sa pisikal di ba sinasaktan din sila so ‘yun po ‘yung nais naming ikwento dito at maka-relate po ‘yung audience po natin at kitang-kita naman po na nabigyan po talagang hustisya ni herlene budol itong kanyang karakter na si Pretty,” Ruru shared.

[Not only through hurtful words or deceptive actions do they get hurt, but even physically, right? So, that's what we want to tell here, and for our audience to relate. It's clear that Herlene Budol has truly done justice to her character Pretty.]

What will be Pretty’s connection to the character of Black Rider?

Viewers need to keep up with the upcoming episodes to find out.

Aside from Herlene, more Kapuso stars will be guesting on "Black Rider" so keep an eye out.
