Miss Granny 2014

The Filipino version is almost exactly the same as the South Korean version.  The songs are different, the fruits are different, but it is practically the same.  It's like watching the same musical two different nights, the same script, but with different actors.

Both are equally beautiful.  Of course, nothing beats the original, but the Filipino version adds a little Filipino touch to the story.  There are many montages, and instead of a Fomentation House and an addiction to Telenovelas, there's the Zumba/Aerobics at the park and Lola Fely loves to watch wrestling.

I'm glad that Viva Films worked hand-in-hand with the South Korean producers, and I think it's one of the closest, for lack of a better term right now, remakes or Filipinized versions of a South Korean movie.

The South Korean version has a very great cast, so I'm glad they chose SARAH GERONIMO to play Doo-ri(SHIM EUN-KYUNG)'s counterpart, NOVA VILLA to play Mal-soon(NA MOON-HEE)'s counterpart, JAMES REID as Ji-ha(JIN YOUNG)'s counterpart, XIAN LIM as Seung-woo(LEE JIN-WOOK)'s counterpart, BOBOY GAROVILLO as Mr. Park's counterpart(PARK IN-HWAN), NONIE BUENCAMINO as Hyun-Chul(SUNG DUNG-IL)'s counterpart, LOTLOT DE LEON as Ae-ja(HWANG JUNG-MIN)'s counterpart, KIM MOLINA as Na-young(KIM HYUN SOOK)'s counterpart, MARISSA DELGADO as Ok-ja(PARK HYE-JIN)'s counterpart and DANITA PANER as Soo-yeon(HA YEON-JOO)'s counterpart.  Sorry, I know you all did well, but I couldn't name everyone.

Both versions are worth watching again and again and again.  

Directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal and Written by Ms. Jinky Laurel

This song is composed by JeBoy(James Reid's role) in the movie.  In real life, it's composed by MIGUEL MENDOZA.  It is very moving.

Akala ko hindi na darating ang panahon Na liliwanag ang daang nasisilayan ko Sa libo-libong taong nangangarap Binigyan mo ako ng pagkakataon Kung mababago ang landas na tatahakin ko Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin ng puso ko Sa bawat sandaling kasama kita Binigyan mo ng buhay ang aking mundo Dumadaan ang araw 'Di mo namalayan naubusan ka ng oras Pwede bang humiling Isa pang araw na ikaw lang ang kasama Kulang na kulang ang panahon 'Di sapat and meron tayo ngayon Pwede bang humiling isa pang araw Hindi ko napansin unti-unting nawawala Ang kaba sa 'king dibdib Bawat minutong nakapiling kita Tumatapang ako nang dahil sa 'yo Dumadaan ang araw 'Di mo namalayan naubusan ka ng oras Pwede bang humiling Isa pang araw na ikaw lang ang kasama Kulang na kulang ang panahon 'Di sapat and meron tayo ngayon Pwede bang humiling isa pang araw Sa pagsikat ng araw ikaw ang laging hanap Sa pagpalit ng buwan sana ikaw pa rin ang tangan Kulang na kulang ang panahon 'Di sapat and meron tayo ngayon Pwede bang humiling isa pang araw Dumadaan ang araw 'Di mo namalayan naubusan ka ng oras Pwede bang humiling Isa pang araw na ikaw lang ang kasama Kulang na kulang ang panahon 'Di sapat and meron tayo ngayon Pwede bang Pwede bang Pwede bang humiling isa pang araw
