So things are not exactly off to a glowing start for high profile K-movie Alienoid (Alien+Human Part 1), which held a media premiere last week on July 13th and got back mixed reviews. There were a lot of critics grumbling that the movie has too many characters and is rather disjointed, but the good reviews are that the movie is innovative and ambitious. Female lead Kim Tae Ri specifically responded to the bad reviews saying that the movie is a two part project and Part 1 is the needed exposition and characters set up so be patient as Part 2 will tie it together and be more action-oriented. This week on July 18th was the VIP premiere ahead of the movie’s release this weekend and so many top stars came out in support as befitting this sprawling A-list cast also including So Ji Sub, Kim Woo Bin, Ryu Jung Yeol, Yum Jung Ah, Jo Woo Jin, Kim Eui Sung, and Yoo Jae Myung. I swear Kim Soo Hyun‘s smile is infectious and besties Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae totally did a couple’s walk in attendance lol.
