As the second season of Nine Perfect Strangers released its final episode, Golden Globe-nominated Filipino actress Dolly de Leon took to social media to share heartfelt reflections and behind-the-scenes photos from her time on the show.
"And just like that. Six months of filming. Six weeks of waiting. People I’m CRAZY about. Nine Perfect Strangers. All eps out. I think it’s time to binge," she wrote on her Instagram page.
Dolly gave fans a peek behind the camera, posting candid shots of the cast and crew on set, as well as glimpses of the breathtaking locations where the series was filmed.
Fans online were quick to react to Dolly's post.
"Amazing! Super proud," one fan commented.
"You were amazing!! I finished the whole thing!!! Congratulations to you and all the cast and crew!" another fan wrote.
In a previous interview with ABS-CBN News, Dolly recalled the moment she was offered the role of Agnes in the series.
"Binasa ko 'yung script and I fell in love with the character immediately and that's primarily also why I said yes it. I love my character. Her name is Agnes, dating siya madre, pumasok siya sa wellness center ni Nicole Kidman para mag self-healing," she said.
The series was filmed over six months, from January to June of the previous year, in Munich in Germany and Austria.
Dolly remarked that working with Nicole, who is not only the lead star but also one of the producers of the show, was a surreal yet rewarding experience.
"She's super nice, warm, and friendly. Hindi ko akalain na for someone with that stature, but hindi. She's very accessible, she's so much fun on the set, very in the moment siya when we're doing our scenes together," the actress relayed.
Dolly described this as a valuable opportunity to highlight Filipino talent on the global stage.
"Importante sa akin na makita tayo sa world stage na makita ang Pinoy na marami tayong maambag sa industriya, na mahusay naman talaga tayo. We have so much talent here in the Philippines and I feel so proud na may representative tayo sa proyektong ito," she remarked.
