Movie posters for "Peninsula" film.

First off, the South Korean movie theaters have been re-opened since June but there is always going to be asterisk on tickets sold for movies during this COVID-19 period. The theaters are blocking every other seat so each showing can only sell half the tickets as before so it will never be apples to apples to compare a movie that … Continue reading →

It’s been a slow and rather uncertain return for the cinematic world the entire globe over. COVID_19 shut theaters in March and it’s only starting to re-open up in parts of the world.

Song Hye Kyo and Gong Hyo Jin Post on SNS in Support of Good Friend Yoo Ah In’s Upcoming Zombie Thriller Movie #Alive with Park Shin Hye

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 25, 2020 by ockoalaJune 24, 2020

Awwww, long live friendships in K-ent and I feel like Yoo Ah In has really nestled himself in tight with so many top stars and maintained that friendship through the years. Both Song Hye Kyo and Gong Hyo Jin are good friends with Yoo Ah In, separately I believe as I don’t think both actresses run in the same friend … Continue reading →

Survivors fleeing a zombie outbreak scene.

This may be the perfect time to debut a low budget (comparatively) K-zombie movie because there is a dearth of movies hitting the big screen and also a craving (har har) for normalcy including the summer blockbuster atmosphere. Zombie flick #Alive drops June 24th and it looks great, a small scale zombie thriller with leads Park Shin Hye and Yoo … Continue reading →

Okay, I may legit lowkey ship these two to do a romance K-drama now. I thought it was fine that Yoo Ah In and Park Shin Hye finally got to work together in upcoming zombie movie #Alive, knowing that it’s likely just them trying to survive solo and then later joining forces, with nary a romance line since who cares … Continue reading →

Survivors fleeing a zombie outbreak scene.

I just realized a funny connection moment, Park Shin Hye played a recluse and near shut in female lead in drama Flower Boy Next Door and now nearly 10 years later she’s the same character but in a different genre and with higher stakes. In upcoming zombie movie #Alive she’s still alive during the early onslaught of a zombie apocalypse … Continue reading →

Two characters surrounded by zombies in a building.

The genre of zombie shows is like the zombies themselves, every time a pundit declares the genre dead the is yet another one waiting in the wings to pop out. I skipped what is now being called the interminable The Walking Dead so I’m not yet tired of this genre, and the Korean production teams have been doing their own … Continue reading →
