Following the success of the hitting painting "Train To Busan" (부산행) (2016), I noticed that to a greater extent than Korean movies were beingness released inward cinemas across the Philippines. Usually, Koreaphiles could entirely rely on the annual Korean Film Festival in addition to painting screenings at the Korean Cultural Center inward the Philippines to instruct their Korean painting fix. Despite local TV networks showing Korean TV shows, non a lot of Korean movies were released inward cinemas here, unless they were widely known inward other countries first.
Now, however, it looks similar Filipinos volition survive able to indulge themselves inward watching to a greater extent than Korean movies on the big concealment alongside beau painting goers. I produce mean value that there’s a unlike feeling betwixt watching a painting inward the painting house compared to simply watching it at home. I mean value it’s prissy to survive immersed inward the movie, alongside either beau fans or those who aren't technically avid followers of Korean pop, but who soundless savour in addition to appreciate adept films. Thank goodness for English linguistic communication subtitles!
The commencement Korean painting that was released inward the Philippines this twelvemonth was the crime-comedy "A Violent Prosecutor" (검사외전) starring Kang Dong-won in addition to Hwang Jung-min. It seems similar Filipino viewers volition survive able to run across to a greater extent than of Korean histrion Kang Dong-won since he’ll survive inward ii back-to-back movies that volition survive shown inward the Philippines. Another painting that he is in, the action-packed painting "Master" (마스터), was shown inward February.
Personally, I mean value that enough of people volition describe upward for "Master" for ii top dog reasons. First: the combination of Kim Woo-bin, Kang Dong-won in addition to Lee Byung-hun every bit the Pb actors for the star-studded movie. Let’s non forget that other award-winning actresses/actors Jin Kyung, Uhm Ji-won in addition to Oh Dal-su are also inward the movie.
Second: a lot of the scenes inward the painting were filmed inward the Philippines. I’m certain a lot of Filipinos volition dear to run across this. It volition pique their involvement inward watching the movie, to run across where the shooting took place. Maybe fifty-fifty a lot of us would think, "I know that place. I’ve been there! I alive close that area. Why didn’t I run across them? Wow! I can’t believe they were there."
I call back a lot of fans tried to figure out where "Master" was going to shoot, simply in addition to thence they could select grip of a glimpse of the big stars.
Lee Byung-hun fifty-fifty jokingly said that they had a difficult fourth dimension filming due to Kim Woo-bin's popularity inward Manila. Kim Woo-bin’s TV shows "The Heirs" (상속자) in addition to "Uncontrollably Fond" (함부로 애틋하게) were both shown on local TV networks, which made him a trouble solid advert here. So I’m non surprised if shouts of Kim Woo Bin’s advert resounded wherever he went.
In an interview, Lee Byung-hun said that Manila's hot in addition to humid conditions was 1 component that made their filming quite tough. Despite the harsh conditions conditions, challenging locations in addition to stunts, they soundless completed the painting successfully.
I can’t hold off to picket the thrilling film. I mean value the acting in addition to plot volition instruct all of us inward the audience hooked on every scene. I produce promise that this is simply the start for to a greater extent than Korean movies to survive shown hither inward the Philippines.
