Under the partnership, the streamer will have the rights to nearly 1,000 episodes from series including romance mystery Love You Stranger.

Other titles include romantic comedy series First Yaya, following the story of an ordinary woman who gets to lead an extraordinary life as the nanny of the president’s children, and scripted shows Legal Wives and Nagbabagang Luha, an adaptation of the romantic drama film of the same name.

iQiyi Philippines country manager Sherwin Dela Cruz said: “We are excited that this year alone, 12 new titles with over 1,000 catch-up episodes will be available on iQiyi. As the home of beloved Asian entertainment, iQiyi International will continue to strengthen our content offerings for our local viewership, building on our current Korean, Chinese and Anime content. This is a big milestone for us, and the first of several we have for the year.”
