In the series, Magdayao plays the role of Princess Mira, a fairy whose mission is to protect the lead character, Juan dela Cruz, which is portrayed by actor Coco Martin.
"Sino ba naman ang tatanggi kay Coco Martin. Noong in-offer nila sa akin ito, oo agad-agad," she said.
"Mundo ng fairies po ang dala-dala ko at ipapakilala ko," she added.
Magdayao, whose last TV project is the ABS-CBN afternoon soap "Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo," believes that she was "destined" to be part of "Juan dela Cruz."
"Ako ay nagpapahinga sa Europe, at may text ako na natanggap from Sir Deo Endrinal at Biboy Arboleda, nagsho-shooting sila ng film nina Coco at Julia (Montes). Mag-isa ako sa Paris at sinabi nila kung gusto kong makipag-meeting sa kanila. Doon po naungkat na bakit di pa kami nagkakatrabaho [ni Coco] at pagkatapos, noong dinner, naisip ko na baka dumating din ang panahon na magkatrabaho kami ni Coco. At ito na, ngayon, dumating na," she said.
Unlike other guest stars, Magdayao is said to play a big role in "Juan dela Cruz," which airs weeknights after "TV Patrol."
