The South Korean film “The Golden Holiday” starring veteran actor Mon Confiado is coming to Philippine cinemas this month.
Viva International Pictures announced that the film, described as “A Korean blockbuster shot entirely in the Philippines,” will be showing in the country starting Dec. 16.
“Catch the Pinoy pride and award-winning actor Mon Confiado in the upcoming Korean action movie, The Golden Holiday. Coming to cinemas on December 16!” the company posted on Instagram yesterday, Dec. 11.
Confiado likewise announced the upcoming film’s scheduled release date via his own Instagram account earlier today, Dec. 12.
“Don’t forget to wear mask please. Social Distancing inside the theater. Keep Safe everyone!” Confiado reminded fans in his announcement.
“The Golden Holiday,” produced by Showbox Entertainment Corp., was directed by Kim Bong-han, who is known for films “Can You See Me?” and “Ordinary Person,” among others.
Confiado is starring alongside actors Kwak Do-won, Kim Dae-myung, Kim Hee-won, Kim Sang-ho, Shin Dong-mi and Lee Yoo-jin-Ito.
The film tells the story of a detective’s supposed family trip to the Philippines that turned into an investigation of a local murder involving “Yamashita’s Gold.”
“A laid-back countryside detective Byung-su (Kwak Do-won) takes his family to the Philippines for his 10th wedding anniversary. In fact, his hidden agenda is to track down his old friend Yong-bae (Kim Sang-ho) who scammed him and got away a few years ago. In Manila, Byung-su finds Yong-bae in prison for murder, and hears about the case surrounding ‘Yamashita’s Gold.’ Swayed by a share of the Gold that Yong-bae offers, Byung-su suddenly becomes embroiled in the case,” the synopsis reads. /ra
