Quezon City, Philippines – Since it debuted on Netflix Philippines, Everything About My Wife became the No. 1 Philippine movie for 7 straight days. Now, it’s set to take the world by storm as it streams worldwide on July 28. Directed by the award-winning filmmaker Real Florido and written by seasoned screenwriter Rona Co, CreaZion Studios and GMA Pictures are bringing this local gem to audiences everywhere around the world via Netflix.

Keep the passion burning from the comfort of your home as you follow the story of Dom (Dennis Trillo) and Imo (Jennylyn Mercado), a married couple navigating the highs and lows of love and commitment.
The Story:
Dom and Imo began as lovers and eventually tied the knot. But seven years into their marriage, Dom finds himself emotionally distant and desperate to escape. In a moment of panic, he turns to notorious womanizer Miguel (Sam Milby) with an outrageous request: seduce his wife.
As Miguel and Imo grow closer, Dom realizes he may have made the biggest mistake of his life—especially when Miguel unexpectedly falls for Imo. Despite Miguel’s growing affection and friendship, Imo eventually uncovers the scheme and feels deeply betrayed. Heartbroken, she chooses to give Dom what he wanted all along: an end to their marriage.
But just as they part ways, their love resurfaces.
Will Imo forgive Dom? Can love truly find its way back?
The film starts off funny and light—with just the right amount of kilig—but as one viewer noted, “As the story unfolds, it hits harder than expected.”Online, the response has been overwhelming. “It’s a complete package for a rom-com movie,” one viewer shared. “Perfect casting, very relatable, storyline is 100/100, a rollercoaster of emotions.” On TikTok, viewers echoed the same sentiment, praising the balance of laughter and heartbreak. “One moment you’re laughing, the next you’re tearing up, and then you’re left smiling,” a netizen posted. “There are moments where you’ll find yourself saying, ‘Ako ‘yun ah!’ or ‘Tayo ‘yun!’”
Even those watching solo found themselves impacted. “Even as a single person na kagaya ko, I found myself relating to the story and learning valuable lessons on love, relationships, and self-discovery,” one reflection read. Another added, “It reminds us that relationships aren’t always easy, but they’re worth the effort if both people are willing to try.”Much of the buzz also centers around the authenticity of the characters. Viewers praised Jennylyn Mercado for “shining as Imo: loud, stubborn, and full of life,” while Sam Milby’s confident charm and Dennis Trillo’s quiet regret struck an emotional chord. “Dennis perfectly embodies a man drowning in his own mistakes,” one review highlighted.
By the end of the film, many viewers were left reflecting on their own relationships or marriages. “It’s not just a story about a complicated marriage—it’s a mirror of what many couples silently go through,” a netizen said. “Sometimes, love doesn’t leave loudly. It disappears in the day-to-day disconnection.”
Everything About My Wife isn’t just another love story—it’s a deeply felt wake-up call wrapped in heartfelt humor. As one viewer summed it up: “Maybe the hardest part is knowing it could’ve been different…if only we were brave enough to speak, to listen, to try.”The story is also inspired by successful adaptations across the globe—starting with the 2008 Argentine original Un novio para mi mujer, a box-office hit. The film’s enduring appeal lies in its universal themes of healing, forgiveness, and love’s power to restore even the most broken relationships. While each version stays true to the emotional core of the story, each interpretation brings a culturally unique perspective to navigating love and conflict.
“Everything About My Wife is a story about taking another chance to keep love alive, while reflecting and rediscovering oneself in a relationship—often when you least expect it. We’re grateful to Netflix for the opportunity to share this story with audiences around the world,” says RJ San Agustin, CEO of CreaZion Studios.
