Bela thanked Adolfo for pointing out Joong-ki so she could take a photo with him; Adolfo himself was able to grab a photo with the Korean actor, "Big Boss is a nice guy and very accommodating."

Celebrities were quick to comment their joy and humor at Bela meeting Joong-Ki including Angelica Panganiban, Kim Chiu, Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla, Kuya Kim Atienza, Tim Yap, Kaye Abad, and Ryan Bang who joked he was Joong-ki himself.

"Yung Libro sa Napanood Ko" competed at the first-ever Summer Metro Manila Film Festival with seven nominations including Best Actress for Bela.

Joong-ki, formerly married to "Descendants of the Sun" co-star Song Hye-kyo to form the "Song-Song" couple, meanwhile hit headlines earlier this year after confirming he had wed and was expecting a child with British actress Katy Louise Saunders.
