It’s been a disappointing year (so far) for streaming platform Disney+ with it’s K-content. Maybe the fall of Kim Soo Hyun and delay of what would have been the platform’s biggest K-drama this year with Knock-Off was a sign of what’s to come. Fantasy action Twelve was a bomb and political thriller Tempest is getting more news over controversy than … Continue reading →

I didn’t follow the K-movies this year so I don’t even know if any of the winners were the right ones lol but I still love awards ceremonies for the glitz and glamor. It was the usual level of awards show dressing for the 2023 Blue Dragon Awards which fetes the best in film with plenty of A-list and rising … Continue reading →
It’s day 2 of the Busan International Film Festival and there are press conferences aplenty, a festival within a festival, and also a star awards night. The outfits range from day events to evening out and honestly are so mid I feel like it takes effort to not be eye catching. Kim Seo Hyung stood out for dressing completely against … Continue reading →

(Do Kyung Soo) has joined the ranks of the COVID-19 positives and he’s currently asymptomatic and at home in quarantine.

The shining star in the KBS drama line up last year was weekend hit Young Lady and Gentleman, which is in the tail end of it’s airing period. Female lead Lee Se Hee was a super rookie newcomer with not even a second female lead role under her belt when she was selected as the female lead and the success … Continue reading →
The first stills and images are out for the sci-fi Korean movie The Moon, which is continuing a recent trend of sci-fi projects first with Space Sweepers in 2020 and coming soon the Netflix original drama Sea of Silence.

The two-part (so far) fantasy K-movies Along With the Gods broke box office records and is among my personal faves for how well it adapted the expansive source manhwa into a thrilling big screen romp. The director’s next film is confirmed to be The Moon, trading fantasy for sci-fi and feels a bit like Gravity. The male leads are D.O. … Continue reading →
K-ent had an article this week about the “drought” in the drama industry with lead actors in the 20s and 30s age range. All that are considered experienced with successful hit dramas under their belts are all unavailable for various reasons: already signed to an upcoming drama/movie or currently in military service. The industry is hoping the return of Lee … Continue reading →

It’s nothing to scoff at, imagine cooking three meals a day for hundreds of army guys, starting earlier than wake … Continue reading →

Alas D.O. has other plans and today announced his impending military enlistment for this July 2019. He will be out in May 2021 and during his service will be … Continue reading →
