Gong Hyo-jin and Park Hae-il in Aging Family
Teehee, this movie looks like a riot. I was already interested in Aging Family when they cast it chock full of actors I like, but the teaser is even funnier than expected. The new family comedy from director Song Hae-sung (A Better Tomorrow, Maundy Thursday) is about three grown-up kids who are each a wreck... More »

More additions to the cast of Cha Seung-won’s drag comedy
So, there’s more information out on Cha Seung-won’s new cop action comedy with director Jang Jin, and get this: he plays a dude who wants to be a lady. Oh man, that is NOT what I expected, even with the title High Heels. I mean, of all the leading men, Cha Seung-won is pretty much... More »

Kim Ah-joong plays cat burglar to Joo-won’s cop
It looks like we might have a leading lady for Joo-won’s new romantic comedy film called (super vaguely) Only You, about a cop and a house burglar who fall in love. Kim Ah-joong (My P.S. Partner, Sign) is reportedly in contract negotiations to take the role, though it’s not finalized. Hm, I don’t have strong... More »

Shin Ha-kyun’s chase movie Running Man
Here’s a look at the upcoming chase thriller starring Shin Ha-kyun and Lee Min-ho (the younger one, from Rooftop Prince and Moon/Sun) titled, of all things, Running Man. I’d forgive the title not being something cooler like Man on the Run, but why on earth is it named after a hugely popular variety show? I... More »

Poster and teaser for Ha Ji-won’s new action comedy
The first teaser and stills are out for the new action comedy sageuk starring Ha Ji-won called Joseon Trio of Beauties, which is literal title, but in my head I call it Joseon’s Angels because it’s the same wording they use in translating Charlie’s Angels. The movie doesn’t seem to be any different in concept... More »

Cha Seung-won reteams with Jang Jin for action-comedy
Why mess with a winning combo? Actor Cha Seung-won has had two projects with director Jang Jin, and now he’s signed on for their third collaboration, a movie titled High Heels. Their first film together was the 2005 comedy-mystery-drama The Big Scene, which they followed up with 2007′s Son. In this new film, Cha Seung-won... More »

Up-and-comers in Scary Story 2
All right, there’s a new horror flick out there called Scary Story 2, and for any other reason it would sound forgettable and bland… except for its cast, which is chock-full of promising up-and-comers. First off we have Sung Joon (Can We Get Married, Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, White Christmas), whom I’d wager on... More »

Joo-won headlines cops ‘n’ robbers rom-com
So, totally didn’t intend for it to be the Week of Joo-won Headlines, but I guess Fate’s got other ideas. After three hit dramas (Baker King Kim Tak-gu, Ojakkyo Brothers, Gaksital) and one that defies all earth logic (here’s lookin’ at you, Level 7 Civil Servant), Joo-won is going back to filmlandia to take his...

There’s a new romantic comedy film in the works by director Hong Ji-young of Naked Kitchen, and she’s looking to reunite with Joo Ji-hoon (Five Fingers) for a third time (she also did some work on the script for Antique Bakery). Exciting, since those are the projects of his that I like most. The new... More »
