, Kathryn shares the reason why everything felt so real. It was because her director, Cathy Garcia-Molina, made her feel the pain of isolation and fatigue on set. She was not allowed to join the cast and crew when they were having fun. She was forbidden from using her phone during breaks to vent to her real-life partner, Daniel Padilla.Cathy would shout at her. She would cry every night on set.
