The actress says: “My character and I in life are two different people. I, at my core, am a “crazy girl”, cheerful, joking, running, having fun.

In addition, I have long had a dream - to star in a film in which the action would take place in a village. So that there are village cows and goats around. I won’t say that I dreamed of mysticism, but when I found out that the series was conceived in this genre, I wasn’t scared at all. This is probably why nothing strange happened to me during the entire filming period - I simply pushed all these thoughts away from myself, because I don’t believe in such things. In general, I am very happy that I got into this project and that the filming took place in Kyiv. I just felt like I was in a fairy tale. It’s a pity that it’s all over,” recalls Natalya.
