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 »

Cha Tae-hyun rides to win in Champ
Before we get to see Cha Tae-hyun as a Joseon-era thief, his heartwarming family comedy Champ hits theaters first, just in time for the Chuseok holiday. I wasn’t initially interested in this movie, but now that the stills and trailer are out, I’m totally swept up in the underdog tale of triumph. Listen, say what... More »

Gone With the Wind, a Joseon-era Ocean’s Eleven
It’s a star-studded lineup for period film Gone With the Wind, but even before we get to the big names attached, I’m already loving the premise: It’s a comic sageuk that’s Joseon-meets-Ocean’s Eleven centering around a team of thieves that works to steal…ice?

Box office megastar Cha Tae-hyun is considering taking on his first sageuk, described as a Joseon-era Ocean’s Eleven. Interesting. But, um, why’s everything gotta be crossed with Ocean’s Eleven? It’s a romantic comedy, but crossed with Ocean’s Eleven! It’s Star Trek-meets-Zoolander-meets-Ocean’s Eleven! Okay, wait. I might actually be excited if they made that one. Is... More »
