An elderly woman (Na Moon Hee) regains her youthful appearance, changes her name and embarks on a quest for happiness. Director :  Hwang Dong-hyuk Featured song :  Raindrop Revised Romanization :  Susanghan gunyeo Adaptations :  Sweet 20  (2017),  Sweet 20  (2015),  Miss Granny  (2018) Writers(from imdb ): Dong-ik Shin Yoon-jeong Hong Hee-seon Dong Dong-hyuk Hwang ... (adaptation) 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 a...

From Jodi's Instagram.    Btw, she's one of my favourite actors because she's so versatile.  She can play any role and she definitely proved that in this movie. From Star Cinema What we are today are products of things we did in the past.  The unavoidable circumstances, the unforced errors, the decisions we make, so forth and so on.   Vanessa B. Velasco  and co-writer,  Jinky Laurel, present two situations and people have different reactions to it.  Some say it's like "Sliding Doors".  Others say it's like a mirror image or a parallel self.  Others say, since it's a "what if" film and the title says, "Dear Other Self", that one is real (the one with Xian in it) and the other one(the one with Joseph Marco in it) is not.   I guess others don't want to believe the other is not real because both situations have their own sets of triumphs and victories.   Xian and Joseph are both worthy leading men. ...

TUHOG main cast:  Jake Cuenca, Enchong Dee, Eugene Domingo and Leo Martinez TUHOG theme song Tuhog is a very unconventional film noir that pulls the heartstrings and opens the mind.   The ending for me and my mom was quite unexpected, so I won't talk about it here...and for those who are wondering, NO, this is NOT a remake of a Klaudia Koronel film(aka Larger than Life). I got interested in this movie the moment the trailer was shown. The number one reason was because of Eugene Domingo as FIESTA . She for me is one of the best actors/performers/comediennes in the world.  She is also very, very intelligent and witty.  Being all that, one would think it would get into her head, but she is one of the humblest beings in the entire universe. Perhaps, that's an exaggeration, but that's how I see her. Now, add the very dashing debonair Jake Cuenca, the ultra talented Leo Martinez and the  muy simpatico  Enchong Dee , then the sum is a MUST SEE...
