Korean Hit Film 'A Werewolf Boy' Set for Philippine Remake; Local Sweethearts Rabin Angeles and Angela Muji to Lead

The beloved 2012 Korean film 'A Werewolf Boy,' which catapulted stars Song Joong-ki and Park Bo-young to fame, is getting a new lease on life with a Philippine remake.

This cinematic reimagining will feature Rabin Angeles and Angela Muji, a popular young couple in the Philippines known to millions of fans, making their big-screen debut as leads, amidst immense anticipation.

Angeles is set to portray the titular werewolf boy, while Muji will take on the role of Sun-yi, promising to deliver a fresh narrative infused with contemporary sensibilities and interpretations, building upon the original's touching story. The film's quality is further bolstered by the addition of veteran actors, including Lorna Tolentino.

Helming the project is director Crisanto B. Aquino, known for his work on 'Instant Daddy' and 'My Future You.' Produced jointly by Viva Films, Studio Viva, and CJ Entertainment, the remake aims to captivate audiences with high-quality performances and sophisticated cinematography, while remaining faithful to the original narrative's essence.

This venture follows Milagro's strategic Memorandum of Agreement signed last summer with Viva Communications, one of the Philippines' largest entertainment groups, signaling a stepped-up commitment to global entertainment business expansion through continued collaboration.

Netizens are expressing excitement and curiosity, with comments like "Can't believe 'A Werewolf Boy,' the legendary film starring Song Joong-ki and Park Bo-young, is being remade in the Philippines?" and "Wondering how the local actors will interpret the roles. Hope they capture the original's emotional depth."
