Real-life sweethearts Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles reunite on the big screen in the delightful romantic-comedy movie ‘Seoul Meyt‘, now showing in cinemas nationwide. Written and directed by the ever-controversial Darryl Yap for Viva Films, VinCentiments and Korean film production company Film Line, this third film project of Viva’s favorite trio is a humorous and heartfelt tale that will make audiences laugh, cry, and feel all the kilig moments it serves — the K-drama way, in no other place but Seoul in South Korea.
The movie follows Luneta “Lunie” Paticul (Kim Molina), a dedicated social worker and avid K-drama fan from a typhoon-devastated village. Lunie finds herself involved in a potential land deal with a Korean conglomerate that promises new opportunities for her community, including jobs and improved housing. Her negotiations take a humorous turn when she meets Juanito “Jun” Mamaril (Jerald Napoles), who pretends to be Park Jun Jun, the assistant to the Korean boss’s son, Park Ju Tae.
Jun’s mission to win Lunie over and finalize the deal takes them on a whirlwind trip to Korea, sparking an unexpected romance. However, chaos ensues when Lunie discovers Jun’s true identity. The film is set against a backdrop of cultural clashes, comical mishaps, and heartwarming moments.
Without a doubt, and expectedly, Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles deliver charming performances, showcasing their impeccable chemistry yet again. Kim’s portrayal of Lunie is both spot-on and relatable, capturing the essence of a resilient Filipino woman with a deep love for K-dramas. Jerald Napoles, on the other hand, shines as Jun, bringing a perfect blend of humor and sincerity to his role. Their on-screen dynamics, just like in their previous works with Direk Darryl (‘#Jowable’, ‘Ang Babaeng Walang Pakiramdam’) provide the film with an engaging and entertaining core.
Watch out for exciting scenes and jokes courtesy of its supporting cast, which includes talented actors like Alma Moreno, Candy Pangilinan, Isay Alvarez, Marni Lapuz, and Kid Yambao, each bringing their characters to life with compelling passion for this project. Not to mention, every joke in the movie has something to say. This new offering from Viva Films is bound to impress, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy in this heartwarming rom-com. With Kim and Jerald leading the charge, this film promises to be an unforgettable experience that will leave audiences both laughing and touched. Don’t miss out on ‘Seoul Meyt’!
