K-POP star Nancy McDonie is all set for her Philippine drama debut via ABS-CBN’s “Soulmate Project” with actor James Reid.
McDonie, best known to Filipinos as part of the girl group MOMOLAND, revealed that filming of the series is scheduled to start in February.
Antoinette Jadaone (“Alone/Together,” “Never Not Love You”) is reuniting with Reid and Dreamscape Entertainment (“On the Wings of Love,” “Till I Met You”) as writer and director of this new project.
“I started doing workshops [when I was last in Manila]. Now, there are workshops planned with James in the future,” McDonie said.
The series, she confirmed, will be partly set in the Philippines as well as her home country, saying: “I’m going to stay here for a while. It’s planned in Korea, too.”
Unlike the traditional teleserye, it is set for a 13-episode run and will be “canned” meaning the entire series will have been done filming by the time it premieres. (ABS-CBN)
