Kim Soo-hyun plays the fool for Covertly, Grandly’s first teaser
Thank goodness Covertly, Grandly looks hilarious, which is a relief since there are two ways this kind of wacky, outrageous premise can go: awesome, or cringeworthy. The movie is a spy-action-comedy starring Kim Soo-hyun (The Moon That Embraces the Sun) as an elite, even legendary North Korean spy sent on a mission to South Korea…... More »

Gu Family Book: Episode 3

End of the World halved due to poor ratings
Bad news for The End of the World, the cable medical plague drama that has picked up a mania following (i.e., a cult hit), though it hasn’t been able to carve out a space for itself in the ratings game. As a result, it’s getting cut early to nearly half its original length. The show... More »

Eye Candy’s Yoo Min-kyu takes the lead in indie film One Night
I still think of Yoo Min-kyu as Ha-jin the bassist and flirty half of Shut Up: Flower Boy Band’s bromancing duo, and it’s for that role that I carry a lot of residual affection for him. He was picked out of the Oh Boy! series’ Flower Boy auditions (which won him his debut in Shut... More »

Nam Sang-mi becomes Goddess of Marriage for SBS
New drama alert! It’s called Goddess of Marriage, and this one headlines three stars I like very much, which automatically makes me sit up a bit straighter and hope a little harder for a good result. I mean, I always hope for a good result, but when you’ve got Kim Ji-hoon (so gruffly sweet, as... More »
