Shim Eun-kyung returns to the big screen in body-swap comedy
Okay, this movie sounds adorable. Rising young actress Shim Eun-kyung (Sunny) has picked her next project, and it’s a movie in which she plays a grandma who gets zapped back into her teenage body… and then joins a rock band. Why? I dunno. But coolest granny ever. Tags: Shim Eun-kyung... More »

Lee Jong-seok and Seo In-gook headline sports movie
Flower boy swimmers? Why is this not a drama? There’s a new sports movie about competitive swimming gearing up for production, and School 2013′s Lee Jong-seok and Answer Me 1997′s Seo In-gook have been cast to headline. *Waits for you to picture them shirtless.* I think I’m going to like this movie.

Kim Soo-hyun plays the fool for Covertly, Grandly’s first teaser

Lee Sang-yoon and Yoon Jin-seo’s Santa Barbara romance
I find it an interesting clashing of worlds when my Korean entertainment fix crashes into my real life, i.e., comes Stateside for projects. The stories, language, and handling are all Chungmuro, but look! I recognize that street! That’s a city I’ve been to! And yet it all looks so different through a foreign lens. Granted,... More »

What a great title — Night Before the Wedding is instantly evocative of lots of conflict and possibilities, particularly when the movie is an omnibus picture. That means we’ll be given multiple story threads playing out the concept, to various romantic and comedic ends. There will be eight main characters, and Lee Yeon-hee (Ghost), Joo... More »
