The second season of the 2019 spy-thriller Korean series "Vagabond" is set to be filmed in the Philippines, according to former Ilocos Sur Gov. Chavit Singson.
In an interview during the opening of one of the branches of his restaurant, Singson revealed that he will serve as one of the producers of the series and that its production is already underway.
"Iyong series na very popular sa Korea, ‘Vagabond’. Itutuloy dito. Nakatapos na sila, tapos ‘yung continuation, dito na sa Pilipinas kukunan," he said.
"Tinatapos muna ‘yung istorya para may susundan sila. Unlike the others na kapag gumawa, hinuhulaan kung saan susunod, ‘yun ayaw nila, gusto nila kumpleto na ‘yung istorya," he added.
Singson also teased that Filipino actors will participate in special roles, and he himself will also be part of the production.
"Yes, makakasama ako sa production dahil niyayaya nila ako," he said.
"Vagabond" stars Korean actors Lee Seung-gi, Bae Suzy, and Shin Sung-rok.
Released in 2019, the series follows Cha Dal-gun (Lee), a stuntman who will be forced to team up with Go Hae-ri (Bae), a determined covert operative for the National Intelligence Service, who discovers that the plane crash where Dal-gun’s nephew died was not caused by a machine malfunction but by hidden corruption that demands a dangerous investigation.
The first season of “Vagabond” took home awards from the SBS Drama Awards, bagging the Top Male Excellence Award in Miniseries for Lee, Top Female Excellence Award in Miniseries for Bae, Best Couple Award for both the lead stars, Best Supporting Actress for Moon Jeong-hee, and Hallyu Contents Award for the series itself.
