MANILA -- Maja Salvador didn't have seconds thoughts about accepting her role as Nicole in the upcoming primetime drama, "The Legal Wife."
In an interview on "Umagang Kay Ganda" on Monday, Salvador said she took the role to get a break from her usual "sweet" roles.
"Halos lahat ng ginagawa ko parang pa-goody-goody...kaya feeling ko kailangan ko nang mag-level up sa ibang role, sa ibang characters naman," she explained.
Salvador said it would be a challenge to play a mistress for the first time.

"Big challenge din sa akin kasi never pa naman akong naging mistress sa buong buhay ko," she said. "Malayo naman siya sa kung anong nangyari sa totoong buhay."
"Ang nagiging problema ni Nicole, lost kasi sya eh. Parang, feeling niya palagi nalang siyang pangalawa sa lahat, So parang ano bang kaya niyang gawin para maging first naman sya sa lahat?" she explained.
When asked if she is still affected by her bashers after she entered into a relationship with actor Gerald Anderson, Salvador said she is just being professional.
"Nagtatrabaho lang ako, artista ako. Ang laking project nung in-offer sa akin so bakit ko tatanggihan?" she said.
"The Legal Wife," which will premiere on January 27 on ABS-CBN, also stars Angel Locsin, Jericho Rosales and JC de Vera.
