So things are not exactly off to a glowing start for high profile K-movie Alienoid (Alien+Human Part 1), which held a media premiere last week on July 13th and got back mixed reviews.

Female lead Kim Tae Ri specifically responded to the bad reviews saying that the movie is a two part project and Part 1 is the needed exposition and characters set up so be patient as Part 2 will tie it together and be more action-oriented. This week on July 18th was the VIP premiere ahead of the movie’s release this weekend and so many top stars came out in support as befitting this sprawling A-list cast also including So Ji Sub, Kim Woo Bin, Ryu Jung Yeol, Yum Jung Ah, Jo Woo Jin, Kim Eui Sung, and Yoo Jae Myung. I swear Kim Soo Hyun‘s smile is infectious and besties Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae totally did a couple’s walk in attendance lol.

Oooooh, I really love this poster. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s very striking and frames the leads beautifully in gorgeous primary colors. MBC‘s next romance drama will be The Spies Who Loved Me, taking over the time slot from When … Continue reading
I get a kick not from watching every K-drama Im Joo Hwan is in, despite really loving him as an actor, but from seeing what he does next because this man certainly jumps roles like a jack rabbit. In second … Continue reading
And they’re off the races, or at least racing towards zero whatever that means in the drama. Script reading pictures have been released for early January 2020 MBC drama The Game: Towards Zero, starring Taecyeon, Lee Yeon Hee, and Im … Continue reading

OMG, please don’t make Im Joo Hwan into secretly the serial killer baddie in his next drama. Sorry I’m worried but this cutie pie keeps getting short shifted and honestly he’s better off being the nicest man in the world … Continue reading
Oooh, this one looks potentially adorable and hilarious. I’m never in the mood for serious and dark Korean political dramas but tvN‘s The Great Show is a comedic family take on it with Song Seung Heon doing his best smarmy … Continue reading
