MANILA, Philippines — There’s no doubt that the Korean craze in the Philippines only continues to grow stronger and stronger, and now aside from K-beauty, KPOP, and K-dramas, Filipinos have also embraced the wonderful world of Korean cinema.
Now you and your friends and family can binge on all the Korean films you want through GMovies, in partnership with Upstream, the country’s newest video-on-demand streaming service. K-film fans on Globe can enjoy the most entertaining movies and shows starring Korea’s biggest stars from Kim Tae-ri to Kim Seon-Ho.
A highly recommended film to catch is A Day, a Korean mystery thriller starring Kim Myung-Min who plays a father who commits an unethical act in an attempt to save his daughter’s life. Three years later, his actions return to haunt him, trapping him in an endless time loop.
If you’ve already seen the movie and have a knack for solving a good whodunit, you can try your luck and solve one through a special 360 experience inspired by A Day.
From now until September, you can join Breakout Escape Rooms where you and your family or friends will have the chance to crack a mystery in 45 minutes or less. The game can be played with other participants via Screen Share.
