'Yung Libro Sa Napanood Ko' (2023), a Summer MMFF review
Surprisingly, Yoo Min-Gon shines opposite BELLA in #YungLibroSaNapanoodKo
Read Roy Narra's review of the film from the first Summer MMFF here:
Editor’s Note: this review contains minor spoilers.
At its deepest core, Yung Libro sa Napanood Ko has the sincerest intention to not just create the Filipino fantasy of being in a K-Drama setup but to also tackle and explore love, intuition, and trauma. The film’s director and writer Bela Padilla (who is credited as BELA) has the knowledge of capturing the beauty of love, confusion, getting…
