We hope to delight fans of Korean shows with Jinny’s Kitchen, and are excited to see the show and this genre to find new audiences from different countries on Prime Video.”

Nah Yung Suk and Jang Eun Jeong, the directors of Jinny’s Kitchen, said, “All the cast has worked really hard in making Korean street food themselves. We expect fans to get very excited to see the five members’ struggles in their effort to satisfy international customers while running a Korean street food restaurant. We really hope this show will bring lots of fun and laughter to Korean and global viewers.”

Jinny’s Kitchen joins the thousands of TV shows and movies in the Prime Video catalogue, including exclusive titles from Southeast Asia, Korean titles such as Island and Love in Contract, anime hits such as Chainsaw Man, on top of award-winning and critically acclaimed Amazon Originals like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Boys, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, and Emmy and Golden Globe winners Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Five Digitally-Restored Classics That You Can Add To Your February Watchlist

Today’s audiences and movie-buffs can enjoy watching all-time Pinoy cinematic classics this February as Sagip Pelikula brings more of its digitally-restored titles for free on ABS-CBN Superview via Star Cinema’s official YouTube channel.

Apart from the catalog of free-to-watch Kapamilya films of different genres, Star Cinema will also offer restored and remastered Filipino classics from different film outfits in crisp visual and audio quality—courtesy of ABS-CBN Film Restoration.

As these titles make their way to ABS-CBN Superview on YouTube, here are five of the digitally-restored films that you can add to your watchlist this February:

1) Captain Barbell

The Mars Ravelo fever continues following Darna’s sought-after run in primetime as Sagip Pelikula brings the restored version of one of the earliest film adaptations of his iconic works with the 1973 “Captain Barbell” starring the King of Comedy himself, Dolphy. Apart from his signature slapstick antics alongside Panchito and Babalu, the film also showcases Dolphy’s acting chops in doing action-packed scenes.

Follow the story of a wimpy but good-hearted man, Tenteng (Dolphy), who was left distraught after being rejected by the woman he loves. But his life would turn around upon astoundingly lifting a mystical barbell that would grant him super strength and abilities, transforming him into Captain Barbell—protecting citizens from the forces of evil!

Stream here: https://bit.ly/YT_DolphyCB

2) Ikaw Ay Akin

What happens when two of the country’s premier actresses, Vilma Santos and Nora Aunor, share the big screen? It’s surely an epic drama-fest filled with intense emotions and hard-hitting confrontations, as shown in one of their collaborative projects, the 1978 romance-affair film “Ikaw Ay Akin,” co-starring Christopher de Leon.

Find out how two women, the long-time girlfriend Teresita (Nora) and the ‘other woman’ Sandra (Vilma), get entangled in a web stemming from an illicit affair as they share the same love for Rex (Christopher), whose guilt continues to haunt him due to his infidel acts.

Aside from its story and compelling directive work from renowned filmmaker Ishmael Bernal, the film will be known to many for its intense final staredown scene from both Vilma and Nora, letting only their expressive eyes do the talking for them—a true testament to effective ‘mata-mata’ acting.

Stream here: https://bit.ly/YT_IAA

3) Kapag Langit ang Humatol

Another must-watch restored title to add to audiences’ watchlists this February is the 1990 revenge-drama film “Kapag Langit ang Humatol,” top-billed yet again by the Star for All Seasons, Vilma, alongside Richard Gomez, Gloria Romero, and Charo Santos.

Relive how the oppressed housemaid, Florida (Vilma), exacts her vengeful retribution against the prominent family led by the stern matriarch Octavia (Gloria). Following a series of abuses under Octavia’s reign, which stemmed from her affair with the matriarch’s son Hector (Richard), she slowly rose to power and transformed into an influential mogul, thirsty for revenge against those who made her life miserable. But her vengeance seeps deeper when she finds out Octavia’s hidden secret in the years prior that would gravely affect her.

Stream here: https://bit.ly/YT_KLAH

4) Soltero

Viewers can also stream for free the 1984 experimental film “Soltero,” starring Jay Ilagan, Rio Locsin, and Chanda Romero.

From the story written by acclaimed playwright Bienvenido Noriega Jr., the film recounts the life of a 29-year-old bachelor Crispin (Jay), in his pursuit of finding love, hoping to end his melancholic misery of loneliness and despair.

Stream here: https://bit.ly/YT_Soltero

5) Moral

And capping off the list is the coming-of-age drama movie “Moral,” written by National Artist for Literature Ricky Lee and directed by Marilou Diaz-Abaya.

Its star-studded female cast, Lorna Tolentino, Gina Alajar, Sandy Andolong, and Anna Marin, portray four women from different walks of life, each tackling dilemmas of their own. But along the way, they find peace and joy in their strong friendship forged by their struggles.

Witness love conquer all odds in today’s hottest series – all you can stream with a PLDT Home plan!

HBO GO’s The Last of Us opened the love month of February with a touching romance between two men trying to survive at the end of the world. TLOU episode 3 prompted us to ask the question, “What is love?” Is love letting go of someone sick and helping them end their life or does it mean holding on? Everyone, it seemed, was caught off guard by the ethical and moral issues — and the tenderness! — that surfaced on a show that’s primarily about surviving a zombie apocalypse.

Since cinema and TV were invented, the exploration of love in all its forms and disguises has taken us from the ancient past to post-apocalyptic new age. With its blazing internet speeds, PLDT Home offers an uninterrupted viewing experience on top of complimentary or discounted vouchers on your favorite entertainment content platforms.

Watch love cross borders and conquer the most complicated twists on these shows – just in time for Love Month!

1. The Last of Us
The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.

The series’ third episode is one of the most highly rated episodes on TV with most people predicting acting awards for the two guest stars, Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) and Murray Bartlett (White Lotus), who are actually better known as comedians than dramatic actors. It’s love, loneliness, sacrifice, and “resource management” at their peak!

Stream The Last of Us on HBO GO

2. The Bachelor Indonesia Season 1

3. Departure
There are quite a few series involving unexplained avionic phenomenon that you sometimes wonder if what you’re watching is pure fiction or real. Departure is partly real. It was inspired by Martin Caidin’s 2003 book Ghosts of Air, which recounts inexplicable events happening thousands of feet in the air. Pilots told Caidin the strange phenomena they experienced, such as Bermuda Triangle accounts, sightings of aircraft from the past and ghost warnings to prevent a plane crash. Departure follows a brilliant man in 1973 Miami investigating how a 727 suddenly vanished into thin air and then reappeared 10 minutes later in the exact same spot.

Stream Departure on Lionsgate Play

4. Normal People
The Guardian calls Normal People “a beautiful, hugely beautiful thing . . . a triumph in every way,” citing outstanding acting, direction and script. Normal People is an Irish romantic psychological drama based on Sally Rooney’s 2018 novel of the same name. It follows the relationship between Marianne Sheridan (Daisy Edgar-Jones, Where the Crawdads Sing) and Connell Waldron (Paul Mescal, God’s Creatures) starting from their final days in high school to their university years at Trinity College. Like any interesting couple, the two have a complex relationship and opposing personalities.

5. K-Love
Filipino series K-Love chronicles the story of five friends who share a love for Korean content. The cast includes Iza Calzado, Jake Cuenca, Isabelle Daza, Sue Ramirez, and Gabby Padilla. “What is it about K-drama that draws people?” asked the narrator. The answer is the same as what the series offers: love, loss, second chances, career, and relationships that are both good and bad that we immediately relate to their stories.

Stream K-Love on Viu

6. Why Her
“Why her (or him)?” might as well be a question we ask our friends when they begin a new relationship. The series is about Oh Soo-jae, who works as a lawyer in the best law firm in South Korea, whose chairman is enamored of her and would do anything to have her. She is a talented, ambitious and self-righteous lawyer, but one case gets her kicked out of the firm and she ends up teaching at Seojung University. There, she meets Gong Chan, a law student who falls in love with her.

Somewhere Between an A-list professional killer and being a Single Mom Stands Kill Boksoon

Kill Boksoon is an action film following Boksoon, who leads a double life of an ordinary single mom and a legendary killer at a top-tier killing agency, MK Ent. Amid early-on attention due to being officially invited to the 73rd annual Berlin International Film Festival for the Berlinale Special, the second poster and the trailer have been revealed, amplifying curiosity about the film.

The released second trailer explicitly portrays Boksoon’s dual life as an ordinary mom and an A-list killer, showing strongly contrasting scenes of her grocery shopping to sharp transition into her life as an assassin backed by suspenseful and intense BGM.

Gil Boksoon using weapons from axes to long swords, glass cups, ropes, guns, etc., to fight her opponents provide a tease into the dynamic action sequence that will take place in the film.

Meanwhile, the appearance of characters Han Hee-sung (Koo Kyo-hwan), a killer who is unrecognized as an A-list, and Cha Min-hee (Esom), Cha Min-kyu’s younger sister and director of MK Ent, adds spice to the plot and doubles its tension.

The second poster revealed along with the trailer shows Gil Boksoon (Jeon Do-yeon) holding a bloody ax in one hand as if she had just completed “work” she had been commissioned to do, and on the other, a bag of groceries as if she had gone grocery shopping like any other loving mother. Gil Boksoon’s items that hint at her ‘double life,’ as seen from the second poster, spark curiosity about which path she’ll take as she stands at the crossroads of her career as a professional killer and her responsibilities as a mom.

Kill Boksoon has viewers worldwide focused with its star ensemble cast from Jeon Do-yeon to Sul Kyung-gu, Kim Si-A, Esom, and Koo Kyo-hwan. The production is spearheaded by Director Byun Sung-hyun known for his stylish directing, unrivaled character narrative, and solid storytelling.

Kill Boksoon unfolds only only on Netflix, on March 31st.

Netflix has revealed the first teaser trailer for their upcoming anime series Pluto, which turns classic manga and anime series Astro Boy into a suspense thriller. Watch the sneak peek teaser trailer for Pluto below:

A highly-acclaimed manga, Pluto was created by Naoki Urasawa and his longtime co-creator Takashi Nagasaki based on Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy “The Greatest Robot on Earth” arc from 1964. Urasawa who is known for popular manga series such as Monster, 20th Century Boys, and Master Keaton to name a few, injected his dark drama and suspenseful style into his retelling of the iconic franchise.

“I applaud the courage of everyone that has taken on the challenge of making an anime based on PLUTO. I am excited about the birth of this new series to win over people’s hearts. I hope that now more than ever, Osamu Tezuka’s message reaches the world,” shared author Naoki Urasawa in a statement via Netflix.
