First and foremost, shoot in flat, mostly overcast lighting, or use a 6ft wide octabox.
Shoot with a wide aperture, I'd say f2.8 or wider.
Expose for the highlights and brighten the shadows as much as you can.
Lower contrast if it still too contrasty and add a very slight fade in curves.
Adjust hue, saturation and luminence to make all the colours look pastel.
You could also split tone it and give the highlights a cream look, and the shadows a cyan look for extra pastel effect.
No one filter will recreate this look. You need to shoot in low contrast conditions with a wide aperture.

It's a very trendy look in Asia at the moment.

It figures this would be a look from Asia. Everything out of Asia has to look fun and happy and poppy.

Admittidly, I fucking love it. 90% of my Instagram are Korean and Japanese wedding photographers.

Film blows highlights so gracefully.

Negative film has some opposite characteristics to digital in terms of exposing. With digital, it is taught that you must expose for the highlights rather than the shadows. It's the opposite with print film, it's better to expose for the shadows than the highlights. This is makes highlight roll off much better with film than digital.
