More Than Blue Hits Philippine Theaters

One of Taiwan’s highest-grossing films, MORE THAN BLUE, is here to make you fall in love and cry your heart out.
 

MORE THAN BLUE is about Chang a.k.a K (Jasper Liu), a terminally-ill guy and his best friend, Song a.k.a Cream (Ivy Chen). They have been friends for many years, and have been living at the same house without any romantic relations. But in reality, K has been in love with Cream since high school. Not wanting Cream to be lonely when he dies, K decides to help her find Mr. Right. But can K bear to see the love of his life happy with another man? Is this what Cream really wants? To be happy with another man without her best friend?

MORE THAN BLUE is a remake of the 2009 South Korean film of the same title. It was first released in Taiwan on November 2018 and earned NT$32 million on the first three days. Nine days since its release, the film passed the NT$100 million mark, breaking the box office speed record of the hit Taiwanese film “Our Times”, which broke the NT$100 million in 10 days. By the 11 th day of release, the film already made NT$135 million and became the highest-grossing Taiwanese film of 2018.

 The movie also received a warm response in the 23rd Busan International Film Festival held last October 2018. The film’s 5,000 tickets in the festival were sold out within five minutes, and Jasper Liu and Ivy Chen won the “Face of Asia” award.
