Bela Padilla is set to headline a new movie titled Yung Libro sa Napanood Ko with Yoo Min-gon. She's also the director and writer of the film.

Bela was all praises for the performance of the Korean actor.

"One thing you should really look out for when you watch this movie is Min-gon’s performance. He was very disciplined on the set. He already knew what he wanted to do from the beginning,” she said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.

Bela relayed that Min-gon's character is the narrator of the story.

"Siya ang magdadala ng kwento. So we had to find the person who would really lift the movie," she highlighted.

She is also working with award-winning actress Lorna Tolentino in the movie.

“I would say Miss LT is the heart of the movie, si Min-gon ang boat. Sasakay ka sa character niya to follow the journey. I needed someone who could bring out all those emotions,” she remarked.

Bela believes that Min-gon and Lorna deserve acting awards for their performance in the film.

“My wish is I really hope Min-gon and Miss LT get nominated because their performances are to watch out for. I hope it’s not a deterrent that Min-gon is not a Filipino because he really deserves it. He’s amazing in this film.”

Bela learned a lot about shooting in Korea through this project.

“We strictly shot for only ten hours a day. Pagsakay mo sa van, kahit 15 minutes away or two hours away ang location, nag-start na ang 10 hours mo,” she said.

She further added: “We shot in one hospital building. At first, nagtatakutan kami kasi hospital. Baka may multo. Narinig siguro kami ng Korean who said that was not a real hospital but only for shooting.

Bela commended how how the Korean government was able to build the facility to support the creative community in the country.

“Imagine, their government built a hospital merely for shoots. May ICU [intensive care unit], may ward, may doctor’s office at nurse’s office. May emergency room [ER]. Lahat ng klase ng scrubs na kailangan, meron sila. Different colors of nurse’s uniforms. They made life easier for us. Tulungan talaga ang nangyari.”

Yung Libro sa Napanood Ko is Viva’s official entry to the upcoming Summer Metro Manila Film Festival.
