In Miracle in Cell No. 7, Vigor will play the younger version of Bela Padilla’s character. Miracle in Cell No. 7 is a multi-awarded Korean drama-comedy film that was released in 2013. It follows the story of Yong-gu, a mentally challenged single father who was wrongly imprisoned for the murder of a young girl. The remake was named one of the official entries for the annual movie festival later in December.
Bela Padilla doesn’t mind being the second choice after Nadine Lustre.
