Janna Nick is cheerful and buoyant as she sits down for a chat with Star2, cracking jokes and letting out bouts of laughter throughout our interview. But the 22-year-old actress’ jaunty demeanour betrays the immense expectation and responsibility she feels as the lead actress of My Coffee Prince. For the uninitiated, My Coffee Prince is the highly-anticipated Malaysian remake of the 2007 hit K-drama, Coffee Prince, which airs Nov 27.

“In the very early stages (of this project), I was really scared. So much so that in the first or second week of (filming), I cried,” Janna shares in between takes at the set of My Coffee Prince in Seremban. “Every behind-the-scene shot of us filming that came out on social media, people were comparing them with the scenes from the original K-drama. That really stressed me out.”
