Nothing wrong with that and having top actress Jeon Do Yeon completely go killer femme fatale is brilliant casting for upcoming Netflix movie Kill Boksoon. It’s also great counter programming to her currently airing tvN drama Crash Course in Romance where she got negative feedback for looking old and … Continue reading →

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 →
