In The Iron Heart, Nyx is a total badass. After all, how bad do you have to be to enter the mafia world of Tatsulok. But, behind the scenes, the actress breathing life to this ‘astig’ character, Sofia Andres, is one to never lose her smile, enough to make her co-stars’ hearts melt.

See her bonding moments with her The Iron Heart family in these behind-the-scenes photos:

Lock-in tapings are extra difficult for mom-actresses with little kids left at home, especially in the case of The Iron Heart stars as they are filming in Cebu City. The good thing is Sofia has found her mommy squad in the bubble, which includes Dimples Romana, who plays Selene in the series.

A bunch of photos was shared on Instagram chronicling their mommy date where they bonded over good food and good stories.

And because empowered women empower each other, Sofia has found the ultimate partner for her ‘fit checks! Here are photos of them power-dressed for their scenes:

When one confident momma meets another, the stage is set for breathtaking selfies.

In the teleserye, Sofia represents the girls-who-fell-for-their-best-friend club, as her character harbors special feelings for her childhood friend and partner-in-crime Eros (Jake Cuenca). They look extremely good together, right? We mean, sophisticated, Hollywood-vibe visuals!

Off-cam, Sofia and Jake work well together.

With the killer charisma she exudes, Sofia is the perfect muse of Tatsulok gang, comprised of gentlemen with classic badassery – Jake, Richard Gutierrez, Albert Martinez, Enzo Pineda, Diether Ocampo, Christian Vasquez, and Manuel Chua.

One thing that keeps us hooked to this series is the great ensemble cast, which Sofia effectively squeezes herself into!

Then, they burst into laughter after every intense on-screen showdown.

The snapshots below highlight her chemistry with seasoned actor Albert Martinez. Welcome to Sofia's new era where she proves she can do more than look beautiful on screen – our girl can throw kicks and punches and hold a gun.

Of course, we couldn’t end this without letting ourselves get completely enamored by Sofia’s fearless, polished looks as Nyx. Here’s her glamor shot wearing a sexy black dress during Priam (Albert)’s charity ball.

The internet even gushes over Sofia’s resemblance to Wonder Woman herself, Hollywood actress Gal Gadot.

Warning: hot!

Sofia is the true definition of girl power! Catch her as Nyx in The Iron Heart, weeknights, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, TV5, and A2Z.
