A lot of us want to live in a K-drama where everything's romantic and where there's always a happy ending (and where COVID-19 is nonexistent). And over the years, many Pinoy couples have somehow ~brought this dream to life~ by having K-drama-inspired prenup shoots! Here are the best ones we've spotted:
1. Reply 1988
The couple: Mhy Encinares and Mon Arias
Both are #TeamJungHwan, and that's why they gave him and Deok Sun a happy ending in their prenup shoot! Their photos were taken all over Bonifacio Global City—in a bus, outside a Korean store, and along sidewalks. In an interview with Cosmo.ph, Mon shares why they absolutely love the drama: "Pang-family talaga siya. Ang gaganda ng mga lines, ang gaganda ng mga eksena. May mga nakakakilig, may nakakaiyak, may nakakatuwa. Mix of emotions talaga habang nanonood ka and 'di mo napapansin na sobrang nadadala ka na."
2. Crash Landing On You
The couple: Bai Rihan Mangudadatu Sakaluran and Al-shadat Hassan Abdurajak
The self-proclaimed K-drama addicts shot their prenup video + photos in various locations throughout Mindanao. Jay is from North Zamboanga, "like Captain Ri is from North Korea," while Rihan hails from the south, from "Seoul-tan Kudarat!"
3. It's Okay To Not Be Okay
The couple: Ann Tamano and Alfred Limos
The shoot took place at The Forest Barn in Cavite, and Ann told Cosmo: "I have to admit that I was the one who insisted to have this theme. Good thing he's supportive as usual! IOTNBO was kind of unusual for a love story, and involves family-related and mental health issues that are considered taboo here in our country. It was relatable for us since we, too, experience being okay with not being okay." SO CUTE!
4. Start-Up
The couple: Grace Celosa and Erwin Mel
Their DIY Start-Up themed prenup shoot took place in 2021! In an interview with Cosmo.ph, Grace shared: "We are actually really fond of motivational business/investment-related series or movies. Start-Up made a huge impact on us for it inspires starting entrepreneurs to strive harder for their dreams."
"We both agreed that true love truly waits," Grace adds. "Erwin and I can really relate to the part where Dal Mi and Do San both waited three years to pursue their own careers. Their passion for their dreams of building an empire together continued."
5. Goblin
Their prenup shoot made waves in 2018 because of how well-edited it was: Gayang-gaya talaga yung scenes! Watch the full vid here:
Bonus: Crash Lockdown On You: A 25th Anniversary
The couple: Lynette Sulit and Edwin Sulit
The Sulit family recreated Captain Ri and Se Ri's *first* meeting for their parents' 25th wedding anniversary! The children played special roles as Captain Ri's soldiers. Their daughter Edflyn told Cosmo: "We're happy that it made a lot of people smile and laugh from reliving the emotions while watching the drama. A lot of people even tagged their friends and families, as well as their parents...As my parents are medical professionals, we just wanted to remember that mental health is also important during this crisis so we wanted to do something that might make people smile...Taking a break and having a little laugh is good for our health!"
