The KCC has been hosting a Korean film festival for several years now, with screenings in different parts of the country to cater to many people.
On Oct. 15 last year, my sister and I attended the 2016 Korean Film Festival at SM Megamall in Manila. The theme was “Strong hearts.” The festival featured five different movies that depicted people’s strong spirit and determination amid life’s overwhelming difficulties.

Last year was our first time to attend the film festival, and we wanted to see all of the films that day, but due to time constraints, we decided to see just one movie.
We chose to watch "The Suspect" (용의자) (2013), an action thriller film starring Gong Yoo, the famous actor we know from soap operas like "Coffee Prince," "Big" and "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God," and from the movie "Train to Busan."

| Waiting is never a problem if you know it’s for something worthwhile. Here, we eagerly wait in line to be let inside Cinema 6 for the movie 'The Suspect' last year.( Myrtle Iris Villaraza) |
"The Suspect" is about a former North Korean spy who's abandoned and betrayed by his own country during a mission. As he runs away, he faces serious challenges that test his heart and willpower. These include discovering that his wife and kids have been killed by a colleague, and being accused of murdering a man who became his boss when he defected to South Korea. During his escape, he's helped by a documentary maker as they try to uncover the truth behind an important secret entrusted to him by his boss.
When the movie ended, the cinema was filled with the sound of applause. Many people even rose to their feet to give the screen a standing ovation. The movie was great and I highly recommend that you see it. It’s a combination of suspense, action, drama and even comedy. It also has clever plot twists that will most likely leave you stunned.

When we left the cinema, we still had a faint hope to see another movie, but we learnred that many people had already lined up for it. We asked one of the staff members if the number of people who attend the Korean Film Festival is always like that every year. She smiled and said yes.
 |
| Each year, lots of people flock to the Korean Film Festival in the Philippines. (Myrtle Iris Villaraza) |
As mentioned earlier, the tickets are free. However, based on our experience and as mentioned in the guidelines above, it’s good to be at the festival venue early. This way, you’ll have a higher chance of getting a ticket because they run out fast. You can also ask for a ticket from the Korean Film Festival staff at the venue. Last year, there were only 500 tickets available per movie screening, the same number of seats available in the cinema.
So, mark your calendar now and get ready for the 2017 Korean Film Festival! You won’t only have lots of fun, but you’ll also take home some valuable lessons you can apply to your life and share with your family and friends.
