Kapamilya star Alexa Ilacad and South Korean actor Kim Ji Soo’s upcoming family movie “Mujigae” dropped its first official teaser.
On Monday, Sept. 9, Cinema Bravo warmed the hearts of netizens by posting the 34-second teaser of “Mujigae.”
The teaser shows the cast members having genuine moments with newbie child star Ryrie Turingan, who will play the role of Mujigae, which translates to “rainbow” in English.
Ilacad’s character is seen helping the five-year-old Mujigae for school, as she also hypes her up during school activities.
On the other hand, Ji Soo is captured giving Korean snacks to Mujigae and teaching her how to ride a bicycle.
Based on the short clip, Mujigae appears to be a half-Filipino and half-Korean child that is well-loved among the people around her.
The film is also set to feature Rufa Mae Quinto and Lito Pimentel, among others.
Quinto first announced the movie in July after she shared clips from the film’s story conference.
“Anyeong… umabot na tayo sa South Korea international movie sa isang magandang blessing na naman ito. Todo na ‘to!” she wrote in her caption at the time.
Meanwhile, Ji Soo recently officially became a Kapuso last month after he signed a contract with Sparkle GMA Artist Center.
The Korean star’s recent career move raised eyebrows following past controversy in his home country.
Ji Soo recently addressed his past issues by asserting that the sexual allegations made against him were all “false.”
“I’ve been able to clear up misunderstandings with the friends involved. We talked and reconciled, and I am now focused on moving forward with my life and career,” he said in a recent interview with Sports Chosun.
“Many rumors have become public knowledge and established facts because of things I didn’t do. All sexual assault allegations were false, and even an apology was received,” added the actor.
Ji Soo is known for starring in several Korean dramas, including “Strong Girl Bong Soon” and “Moonlight Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.”
Meanwhile, Ilacad was last seen in the TV series “Pira-Pirasong Paraiso” and the movie “Toss Coin,” where she starred alongside KD Estrada, her on-screen partner.
