So there’s a thriller action plane K-movie coming out later this year and this week the first two stills were released of the two leads. It stars veteran Ha Jung Woo with younger leading man Yeo Jin Gu in another acting bonanza pair up. Yeo Jin Gu continues to work with the best older leading men and each time I … Continue reading →
So C-actor Wang Yibo remains focused on his movie career but there is a wide swatch of types of movies from small budget to arthouse to local blockbusters to international hits. A lot of it is luck if you ask me in picking the right project but one star with a nearly every movie is a hit track record is … Continue reading →
The doldrums of the South Korean box office was happily shattered this past weekend with what is now the biggest domestic Korean movie opening in more than two years since The Roundup: No Way Out in 2022.

The hit 2018 C-movie Us and Them starring Zhou Dong Yu and Jing Bo Ran will be getting a K-remake and now the leads are announced as Moon Ga Young … Continue reading →
Okay, now this is a fight worth fighting lol. This week Zhao Li Ying and Yang Mi‘s fandoms went at each other HARD over who will be the second female lead and the other would then be the third female lead. It’s rare to fight over second/third normally it’s always a fight for top billing. But the project in question … Continue reading →
Song Hye Kyo is following up her excellent drama year thanks to Netflix bullied revenge drama The Glory with a return to the big screen. She’s in talks for the movie The Nuns and will likely get K-actress Jeon Yeo Bin as her costar. The movie is a spinoff of the K-movie The Priests and will be produced by the … Continue reading →
When Hollywood comes calling for most Asian stars is always an opportunity impossible to pass by. For Park Seo Joon I wished he would have passed right on by the recent MCU movie The Marvels because hoo boy was the movie so chaotic and mediocre (and bombed in its first weekend at the box office) but his role in particular … Continue reading →

Kudos to leads Kang Ha Neul and Jung So Min, a drama focused on a soon-to-divorce … Continue reading →
I don’t know if it’s because the Yoo Ah In drug scandal earlier this year was soooooo wild in how much drugs he was using, but it feels like the current Lee Seon Kyun drug scandal has fans just exhausted, ready to write him off but no longer shocked beyond belief. Now the fall out is happening and it starts … Continue reading →
