The comparatively smaller scale zombie movie #Alive did well in the box office last month when it premiered thanks to a dearth of new movies and movie going in the preceding few months. Plus a zombie thriller feels just like the escapist entertainment moviegoers would be keen on, staying home due to COVID-19 doesn’t look so bad compared to a … Continue reading →
Boy does the title of this drama hit on every partnering nerve. I’m sure there are true diehard romantics out there but the thought that Love is Annoying But I Hate Being Lonely driving people to pair up is probably a vast majority. MBC every1 is premiering this August 11th an 1-episode a week drama with Ji Hyun Woo and … Continue reading →
I’m so charmed by the dark whimsy of It’s Okay to Not be Okay and how it weaves both the fairy tales of cultural significance such as the Red Dancing Shoes and Bluebeard as well as female lead Go Moon Young’s own stories into the narrative.

Time and world circumstances really change so much. My first thoughts are: dayum Kai Ko grew up and got like a million times better looking and Ariel Lin looks exactly the same 6 years later like she’s frozen in time. The boxing friendship and romance movie Achoo (the sound of sneezing) which was scheduled for release in 2014 is finally … Continue reading →
I was wondering why tvN was starting to release teaser promos for upcoming Mon-Tues drama The Moment (Record of Youth) since is was slated to premiere in September and its predecessor drama Birthcare Center wasn’t even getting any promos.
