MANILA, Philippines — Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that cross borders—of culture, language, and even time. This November, Filipino and Korean audiences alike are about to be part of one such journey with the upcoming romantic comedy road movie Finding Santos.
The film, which has already captured attention even before its release, skyrocketed to viral fame when its teaser dropped on Instagram last September 12. Within days, it racked up over 40 million views, instantly fueling curiosity and excitement among netizens. The short reel gave audiences a glimpse of Maeg Medina (of rising P-Pop girl group YGIG) singing the Korean lullaby Island Baby (Seomjib Aegi), a moment that resonated with viewers worldwide and highlighted the film’s heart: music, healing, and connection.
A Story About Healing, Promises, and Unexpected Friendships
Finding Santos centers on Woojin, played by Jang Theo from the hit reality series Single’s Inferno. Once a K-pop idol, Woojin now lives in the shadows, haunted by fame’s harsh realities. When his terminally ill grandmother expresses her final wish—to find Santos, a Filipino veteran who once saved her life during the Korean War—Woojin reluctantly sets out on an unexpected quest.
But he doesn’t journey alone. His steadfast manager Junha, along with Gabi (Medina), a devoted fan, and her influencer best friend Lara, join him on a trip across the Philippines. What begins as a promise to the past transforms into a present-day adventure of friendship, healing, and rediscovering the beauty of human connection.
A Celebration of History and Unity
More than just a romantic comedy, Finding Santos is also a commemorative project marking 76 years of diplomatic ties between South Korea and the Philippines and the 75th anniversary of the Philippine military’s involvement in the Korean War. It’s a reminder that stories of companionship can transcend generations and cultures, weaving the past into the present.
Produced by S.How Co., Ltd. and Show Biz Town, Inc., the film also features Hans Galendez and SungIn Park, with direction by Son Hyunwoo and Geong Seong Han, and cinematography by Kim Jin Hyung and Chung Younsang.
Why You Should Watch
If you’ve ever loved a film that made you laugh, cry, and believe in the power of connection, Finding Santos promises to be just that kind of cinematic ride. It’s not just about finding a person—it’s about finding healing, meaning, and a shared sense of belonging.
Whether you’re a fan of K-dramas, P-pop, or simply a believer in the magic of cross-cultural stories, this movie is shaping up to be one of 2025’s must-watch releases.
