Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme(Korean : 키미 도라 : 키예메의 사원; RR: Kimi Dora: Kiyeme-ui Sawon) is a 2012 Filipino comedy horror film directed by Joyce Bernal and is a sequel to the film Kimmy Dora: Kambal sa Kiyeme in 2009 and the second installment in the Kimmy Dora film series. The film premiered nationwide in the Philippines on June 13, 2012 and became the second highest grossing Filipino film of 2012, earning ₱ 100 Million in two weeks, and currently holds the fifteenth place in the highest-grossing Filipino films of all time.
It tells the story of twin sisters Kimmy and Dora, both played by Eugene Domingo, in their quest to find love in South Korea.
Kimmy and Dora (both Eugene Domingo) are identical twins with different personalities. Kimmy is the smart, dictatorial type while Dora is the slow, dimwitted sister. However, they end up being close to each other and appreciate their love as sisters.
The film starts in a scene where Go Dong-hae's house is haunted by a ghost (Alodia Gosiengfiao). Mikky can smell her, Kimmy can hear her, and Dora can see her. The ghost targeted the girls' Korean father, Luisito Go Dong-hae (Ariel Ureta). When Mikky is tapping on the door, Dora followed him to her father's room. Dora opens the door and she sees her father in a state of shock. Before it happened, Kimmy and Dora were still close but their relationship seemed to be strained when Dora accidentally sabotaged the party by ordering the decorations of the venue in the same colour as Kimmy's dress. Frustrated, Kimmy fired everyone involved with the party before leaving. In the car, Kimmy's assistant, Gertrude (Miriam Quiambao), apologised for the fiasco, and Kimmy asked for the name of the head of the decoration committee and, upon learning it was Dora, pushed Gertrude out of the car while it was still moving. After the humiliating party, Luisito requested the two to go to Korea to pay respects to their ancestors. Not long after, Luisito received a package.
