The newest iWant Original movie drama “Romance Reboot,” starring rising Kapamilya stars Emilio Daez, Kaori Oinuma, and Shanaia Gomez, claimed the No. 1 spot on iWant’s Top Movies chart over the weekend following its premiere last October 17 (Friday).

The hit film resonated with audiences for its heartfelt portrayal of young Filipinos chasing dreams and love abroad—striving to build a future together while holding on to each other amid life’s struggles and sacrifices.

Shot in Sydney, Australia, the movie follows Enzo (Emilio Daez), a struggling photographer from a well-off family, and Kai (Kaori Oinuma), a hardworking partner determined to find stability in both life and love.
