This movie might be the best comeback vehicle Kim Sun Ho after his rapid ascendance to leading man status was halted after his personal life messiness shed different light on his fandom’s push for him to be seen as the good boy type persona. The thriller K-movie The Childe (Sad Tropics) is scheduled for a June 2023 release and stars … Continue reading →
While K-ent is calling out sports movie Dream for NOT being a major breakout hit needed to reinvigorate the lackluster Chungmuro, K-netizens are not buying that argument and the movie production itself seems quite happy with what it’s achieved. The movie starring Park Seo Joon and IU directed by the PD of got over 1 million tickets sold last weekend … Continue reading →
K-actor Ryu Jun Yeol just won the Best Actor Award at the 2023 Baeksang Awards in the film side for sageuk thriller The Night Owl so it’s rather fitting that the movie is being discussed as the last “hit” domestic film in Chungmuro for the last 6 months. The Night Owl sold 3.23M tickets and made a profit so is … Continue reading →
I don’t know if this is meta reality become real reality but the long rumored fandom casting for a live action adaptation of hit webtoon Omniscient Reader Viewpoint has come true. K-ent is reporting that Lee Min Ho and Ahn Hyo Seop are in talks for the movie(s) based on ORV with the former as webtoon within a webtoon male … Continue reading →
Well this is certainly good news for the production company especially since this movie was filmed over three years ago and seemed to languish in post-production leaving one to wonder as to the end product. This past weekend Dream premiered and took the box office top spot in a win for a domestic South Korean movie as there have been … Continue reading →
It’s a good year for Jung Kyung Ho, but then I feel like I’ve been saying that for many years now. This year he hit a homerun with Crash Course on Romance and a Baeksang Awards Best Actor nomination but even in prior years he’s hit first, second, and even third base at bats for all his projects. He’s in … Continue reading →
I’m sure everyone is wondering why the equally famous real life boyfriend wasn’t there but it’s likely to not distract lol. IU and Park Seo Joon attended the VIP movie premiere for this long awaited soccer movie Dream and in attendance were tons of their big name star friends. I’m guessing this group is from the IU side including Kim … Continue reading →
A Korean movie has been selected for the 2023 Cannes Film Festival next month screening as Un Certain Regard category and it’s one I’ve not heard about until now. Relative rookie director Kim Chang Hoon has found also relative newcoming Hong Xa Bin for this gritty tale and the entire film has an elevated spotlight thanks to top actor Song … Continue reading →
So it appears K-ent is not ready for Kim Sun Ho to come back in a romance sageuk after the change in casting earlier this year, but his already filmed gritty K-movie will be a good test of whether Chungmuro is the right next step. The movie was originally called Sad Tropics but will be titled The Childe in English … Continue reading →
I feel like this movie could be one long joke dragged out for 2 hours until the punch line, but then again Extreme Jobs with Honey Lee and Gong Myung in their first movie together sounded the same on paper but was incredibly engaging and hilarious. Upcoming Killing Romance is really a three person and three act type of comedic … Continue reading →
I know Park Seo Joon and IU filmed the movie Dream 3 years ago but seeing them this week at the movie press conference gives off the impression they met for the first time. Okay, maybe second time, but the whole vibe is also like two researchers attending a meeting for their new doctorial paper discussion, the energy is on … Continue reading →
So this is a brilliant way to promote the upcoming movie Killing Romance, but linking it to another great project and making hilariously over-the-top statements. Much as the movie looks, super wild and wacky. Killing Romance stars Lee Seon Kyun and Honey Lee in what looks like a K-version of a Stephen Chow classic movie from the 90’s, with likely … Continue reading →
Now I kinda understand why this movie didn’t come out late last year before the 2022 World Cup since it’s a soccer feel good movie and having that additional excitement during the time period would have been good. Upcoming sports movie Dream with Park Seo Joon and IU despite the dream (pun intended) pairing seems rather bland in the first … Continue reading →
