Yung Libro sa Napanood Ko

July 27, 2023

After learning about the book "To Room 19" from the K-series she had watched, LISA (Bela Padilla) was motivated to write her own book. When Lisa eventually publishes a book, a Korean man KIM GUN HOO (Yoo Min-gon) approaches her at a book signing event to let her know that he is a huge fan of hers.


When Gun Hoo is about to return to Korea, he visits Lisa again and invites her to join him to explore the filming locations of her favorite K-dramas. Lisa travels to Korea with Gun Hoo, and the two of them tour Lisa’s favorite places. When Lisa catches a fever as a result of the weather change, Gun Hoo regularly visits her in her rented room. Unexpectedly, Gun Hoo reveals that he and Lisa actually know one other and have been dating for six years.


Every piece of the past is immediately recognized by Lisa. MARY (Lorna Tolentino), who is the OFW mother of Lisa, raised Gun Hoo. Mary brought Lisa as a child to Korea, where she met Gun Hoo. When she grew up and became more independent, Lisa relocated to Manila and landed a job there. While at work, her father PIO (BOBOY GARROVILLO) called and informed Lisa that her mother committed suicide. Lisa developed a severe case of PTSD. Since the day her mother died, she had forgotten everything about her time in Korea and even her memories of Gun Hoo.


Gun Hoo tries everything to persuade Lisa to stay with him, but Lisa disappears and never returns. One year later, Lisa writes to Gun Hoo asking him to watch her interview online. In her second book, ""How I Remember You,"" Gun Hoo is credited as Lisa's inspiration. Gun Hoo discovers Lisa's location through the book, and after they reunite, he offers Lisa a copy of ""To Room 19"" as they promise to stay together this time.

Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, the duo are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho. That is, until the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) turns up unexpectedly at the door of Aziraphale's bookshop with no memory of who he is or how he got there. While Crowley is leery as to why the archangel has come to the bookshop, Aziraphale is keen to solve the mystery behind Gabriel’s condition. However, hiding the archangel from both Heaven and Hell quickly disrupts their lives in unforeseen ways. To solve this mystery and thwart Heaven and Hell in the process, the duo will need more than a miracle; they’ll need to once again rely on each other.
