Award-winning series brings in K-drama and Sparkle actors for thrilling conclusion

As the highly acclaimed series “Black Rider” gears up for its explosive finale this July, fans are in for a treat as two new characters are set to make their debut. K-drama actor Kim Jo Soo and Sparkle actor Jak Roberto join the cast, with Roberto taking on the role of Moises, a streetwise man with a tough exterior and a mysterious past.

Moises is described as someone who isn’t afraid to take matters into his own hands, making him a formidable presence in the world of “Black Rider.” However, as a secret from his past comes to light, his connections to main character Elias (played by Ruru Madrid) could change everything.

Meanwhile, K-drama actor Kim Ji Soo made headlines recently after GMA Public Affairs announced that he is set to debut on Philippine TV via Black Rider.

Ji Soo is known for his work in hit Korean dramas Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo and Strong Girl Bong Soon, as well as Bad Guys 2  and My First First Love.

In Black Rider, Ji Soo portrays the self-defense coach Adrian Park, who will train Vanessa (Yassi Pressman) after she gets her life threatened. It can be recalled that Vanessa was introduced as the presidential daughter of interim president William Romero (Roi Vinzon).

Yet aside from training her, will Adrian end up capturing Vanessa’s heart as well? Will she regain her memory and remember who Elias is in her life?

On her social media account, Yassi shared some behind-the-scenes snaps from the set with the South Korean actor, showing the latter teaching Yassi how to fire a gun.

Yassi even wrote, “Para saan kaya ito… let’s goooo @actor_jisoo.”

To which Jisoo replied: “Let’s go!”

In an earlier interview, Yassi dropped hints on the new character joining Black Rider.

“Ang trainer po ni Bane ay napakapamilyar po sa maraming mga Pilipino, lalung-lalo na po sa mga nanonood ng K-drama,” she shares, adding that she is really excited to let viewers know who that person is. “Very, very exciting po. Ang set po namin, nagkakagulo every time na may mga ganoon po kaming eksena. We’re very, very excited to see if you guys would love this character.”

Don’t miss “Black Rider,” 8 p.m. on GMA Prime and 9:40 p.m. on GTV.
