“Challenge accepted,” she wrote in the caption on her TikTok.

Several TikTok users shared how nostalgic the background music was for them as they grew up watching Marian’s 2007 version of Marimar. The hit Philippine adaptation originated from Mexico under the same title back in 1994. It starred the singer-actress Thalia who sang the theme song that was also used in the Philippine remake. 

Marimar is a story of a girl who lives with her grandparents but gets caught up in the drama of a rich family as she falls in love with the handsome heir who also has a secret of his own. 

“AYAN NA NGA!! GINALAW NA ANG CUP,” a fan shared.

“Marian doesn't have to follow the trend BECAUSE SHE IS THE TREND,” another fan added.

Meanwhile, Marian showed the full transformation look on her Instagram account. She shared in her Instagram Stories that she had to upload it several times due to the music being removed due to copyright. 

“Taking you back to 2007– Asoka style,” she shared.
