I not only want this movie to be good I really hope it does well. Too bad we won’t ever know what type of traditional box office it would have brought in but if it starts trending on Netflix that will be good news enough. Sci-fi Korean movie Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory) drops this weekend on Netflix worldwide, finally meeting … Continue reading →
I’m glad Netflix isn’t hoarding finished projects and appears to have a deft hand in releasing new titles quickly. The sci-fi action flick Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory) was stymied twice in attempted movie release in South Korea during the multiple COVID-19 spikes last year so the production practically went and sold the movie rights to streaming giant Netflix with hopefully … Continue reading →

On the Korean cinema side, big budget sci-fi movie … Continue reading →

Sci-fi movie Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory) was supposed to premiere but pushed … Continue reading →
With COVID-19 ending nowhere in sight, I wonder if upcoming sci-fi action movie Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory) should have kept its summer time slot rather than delaying to October 1. Train to Busan sequel Peninsula is cleaning up at the box office albeit with half the haul it could have done due to movie theaters blocking off every other seat. … Continue reading →
I always felt that Han Ga In was not right for the female lead role in hit sageuk The Moon Embraces the Sun, the age gap with Kim Soo Hyun, her acting limitations (he was acting circles around her), and that the age of the character really suited a early 20s actress. There’s a chance to cast right for Hong … Continue reading →
Okay, I legit have sooooooo many thoughts on this. The first teaser trailer is out for sci-fi swashbuckling Korean film Space Sweepers (Korean title Victory Ship) and I already hate the stupid English title. It’s so hokey and I’m sure the movie is not intended as tongue-in-cheek entertainment so bad its bad Starship Troopers so the name could just stick … Continue reading →
The Sports Chosun 30th Anniversary poll of South Korean entertainment insiders on the Power People within the industry is definitely worth discussing especially in the drama category. For the film category it’s harder to have biases as movies remain a wall in K-ent where to become a film star one is a true A-lister. Far and away by like three … Continue reading →

I’ve been watching K-dramas over for over a decade and covering the industry via this blog a little less than that, and I can vouch for how difficult, sanctimonious, and exacting the domestic Korean netizens are even more than when the international viewers start chiming in. If I-netz are not feeling a drama, K-netz have already ripped it to shred … Continue reading →
