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 →
This might be the most extreme spectrum character swap in such a short period between projects than Jeon Do Yeon going from frumpy single mom in Crash Course in Romance to sleek assassin single mom in Kill Boksoon. Even if the upcoming Netflix movie isn’t that good story-wise at least it will have excellent acting all around, with veteran Sol … Continue reading →
In C-ent the scandals are either catastrophic career ending ones or more blips with more negative buzz than actual ramifications. C-actor Chen Fei Yu recently went through the latter after pictures were released of him sleeping in bed taken by clearly a bed mate after intimacy and it appears that a twenty-something unmarried man having sex is not a cancellable … Continue reading →
I legit remember when this pairing and movie was announced and it seemed so exciting and then like 3 years passed by! The movie Dream was announced in 2020, took two years to film through mid-2022, and has barely any promos. Not sure why the radio silence with two top stars Park Seo Joon and IU in the lead and … Continue reading →
I don’t know what kind of (bad) luck for the Netflix movie The Match to be now stuck in this frustrating position. The period movie chronicling an epic Go match between veteran Lee Byung Hun and youth prodigy Yoo Ah In was actually filmed at the end of 2020 and wrapped in early 2021 but in the two years since … Continue reading →
Well it looks like another similar-age colleague of Jung Kyung Ho is signing up for a chance to work with big screen legend Jeon Do Yeon. K-ent is reporting that Ji Chang Wook will be the male lead for the movie Revolver which has already confirmed Jeon Do Yeon as the female lead. It’s about an ex-cop who plows forward … Continue reading →
I feel like Alice Ke and Greg Hsu totally got the South Korean star dress code before leaving for Seoul to promote their recently released TW-movie Someday or One Day, which continues the hit drama storyline. Their look at the airport was all black, matching, super sleek, and totally fit for the K-media news reporters there for the daily stake … Continue reading →
The new year 2023 is off to a good start in the Korean box office and also good news for the thriller action movie The Point Men (Bargaining). The movie opened last weekend and has already passed 1 million moviegoers which is a solid showing for a high profile flick. Starring Hyun Bin and Hwang Jung Min in a dramatization … Continue reading →
I wouldn’t consider K-actress Choi Sung Eun a rookie but she is still comparatively less known and a rising star. So that makes her casting as the leading lady in upcoming K-movie Ro Ki Wan a big win that she earned herself. The movie will star Song Joong Ki as the titular Ro Ki Wan, a North Korean defector to … Continue reading →
So the K-version of Chinese movie Soulmate (Qi Yue Yu An Sheng – the names of the two female leads) will also be titled Soulmate making for a easier connection. The movie earlier this month got its approval permit and swiftly scheduled a March 2023 release in theaters accompanied by two lovely movie posters featuring the two female leads Kim … Continue reading →
It’s a bit odd that such a high profile C-movie getting a K-version adaptation just went into production and off the radar. In 2020 it was announced that Soulmate (Qi Yue Yu An Sheng) was getting a K-adaptation starring Kim Da Mi, Jeon So Nee, and Byun Woo Seok. The original was a huge hit in box office and raking … Continue reading →
