The movie starred Jo Han-seon and Lee Chung-ah, but is perhaps most famous for catapulting a young Kang Dong-won to stardom. The story premise is fairly straightforward, as a coming-of-age story about a... More »

Movie Review: My Sassy Girl
Genre: Romantic Comedy Rating: 9/10 What a brilliant surprise! I was so expecting a clichéd romantic comedy but My Sassy Girl is definitely anything but clichéd, for the most part. Quirky, funny, outrageous, unconventional and above all sassy, My Sassy Girl really hits all of the right notes for me. I can definitely see why... More »

You’re My Pet releases yet another saucy poster
Another poster for You’re My Pet! To be honest, I’m not even that excited about this movie (it looks super-cute and fluffy, but I have no great expectations of it), but they do have some pretty eye-catching promotional materials.

Kang Ye-won, Lee Je-hoon cast in horror comedy Fortunetellers
“Horror comedy” are two words that instantly pique my interest (I’m thinking Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland) so I’m already liking the sound of Fortunetellers, a new film that has just cast up-and-comers Kang Ye-won and Lee Je-hoon as the leads. The premise sounds promising, too: In a village hit by a “mysterious event,”... More »

New posters and a teaser for You’re My Pet
Me-ow. Well they were certainly going for sex kitten with the poster concept, only they seem to have split the difference, sexy for Kim Haneul and… just kitty for Jang Geun-seok. How come he gets bad hair, a furry sweater AND a box, while she gets a shirt and a cheeky lolli? A few more... More »
