MANILA, Philippines — A tandem that perhaps no one imagined will retell one of the best-selling films in Korea.

“Miracle Cell No. 7” is a 2013 multi-awarded Korean comedy-drama film starring Ryu Seung-ryong, Kal So-won, and Park Shin-hye.

It tells the story of a mentally challenged man who was wrongfully imprisoned and was helped by criminals in his cell to see his daughter again.

Viva has yet to announce other details of the upcoming film.
