K-actress Kim Go Eun is starting to trend as a sensible dress who also looks good. Case in point her casual but perfectly put together airport outfit heading to the Chanel fashion show, and now this coral brick peach flowing dress number at the press conference for upcoming movie Sunset in My Hometown. It’s her first movie in two years … Continue reading →
It’s too bad K-netizens are so negative on all three leads of the movie Burning as this is truly an accomplishment that Korean should be basking in. The movie got a score on the jury grid of 3.8, which is the highest for all movies screened at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, but even more impressive is that the score … Continue reading →
I love reunions and this one is a long ways out, thirteen years later to be exact. Upcoming Taiwan movie Let’s Cheat Together (Chinese title The Mayor’s Wife’s Secret) headlines Chen Qiao En as the titular mayor’s wife and Ming Dao has a role as the mayor’s fixer who gets brought in to clean up the mess when scandalous pictures … Continue reading →
The last time the Hong Sisters wrote a halfway decent K-drama it was with Gong Hyo Jin paired with So Ji Sub in The Master’s Sun so it’s a nice treat five years later to see the two in the same project albeit in a cameo settling. Gong Hyo Jin made a guest starring appearance in the romance fantasy movie Be … Continue reading →
Some things are better left alone even if it wasn’t done properly, especially if the second go-around is going to be even worse in a different way. The Cheese in the Trap movie with returning male lead Park Hae Jin with new costars Oh Yeon Seo, Park Ki Woong, and Yoo In Young has spent three weeks in the Korean … Continue reading →
The movie looks gripping and packed with star power in a good way with leads Jang Dong Gun and Ryu Seung Ryong combining both billing weight and acting acclaim. Thriller movie 7 Days of Night held its VIP movie premiere this week and in attendance was a lot of famous faces that speaks to the breadth of connections of the … Continue reading →
I can’t believe it’s been over thirty years (!!!) since shoujo manga Marmalade Boy came out. It’s actually still readable though the drawing style may seem too quaint for those who prefer the current renderings, this is actually my manga generation so my preferred drawing style that is clean and wholesome. An upcoming J-movie adaptation is headed to the theaters … Continue reading →
A weepy romance movie starring So Ji Sub and Son Ye Jin, of course the VIP movie premiere for Be With You would be bursting at the seams with celebrity guest attendees. Song Seung Heon looked his preppiest best at the event, there to support both his best guy friend So Ji Sub and his former weepy romance drama costar … Continue reading →
I haven’t read Cheese in the Trap webtoon so I can’t say whether the lead characters are less interesting than the second leads the way things played out in the live-action K-drama version that aired in 2016 on tvN. I do have a feeling that the second leads for the upcoming movie version may steal the show, for the drama … Continue reading →
I’m ridiculously enamored of Kim Ji Won‘s green dress in this recent Cine21 pictorial shot in connection with promotions for the Joseon movie Detective K: Secret of the Living Dead. She’s the female lead in this supernatural-tinged detective movie opposite Kim Myung Min and Oh Dal Soo and it’s a great role for this talented and rising fast young actress … Continue reading →
The first movie stills are out for upcoming Korean period zombie film Outbreak (Rage) starring Hyun Bin and Jang Dong Gun. What was already primed to be a box office hit even had a third leading man in Kim Joo Hyuk in a cameo role but alas this film would be the final film in Kim Joo Hyuk’s to-do list … Continue reading →
I don’t live in a country that celebrates White Day, i.e. White Valentine’s Day or exactly a month after February 14th Valentine’s Day. Hence my mistake in the last post on the upcoming Cheese in the Trap movie which is scheduled to premiere next month on March 14th which is White Valentine’s Day and I saw the Valentine’s Day and … Continue reading →
Oooooh, me likey scruffy period attire Jo In Sung!

He plays General Yang Man Chun, a famed Gorguyeo commander of the titular Ansi … Continue reading →
