Song Sae-byuk and Kang Ye-won headline rom-com
by | May 3, 2013 | 17 Comments
Ooh, there’s a new project on the way from the director of Shut Up: Flower Boy Band. Sadly it’s not another drama about angsty teen rockers. Boo. Hiss. *puts on whinypants* Whyyyyy not? This time he’ll be tackling a romantic comedy film called My 7th Man, and Song Sae-byuk (Dangerous Meeting) and Kang Ye-won (Fortunetellers)... More »

Poster and teaser for Ha Ji-won’s new action comedy
by | March 14, 2013 | 106 Comments
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 »

The ghostbusting cast of horror-comedy Fortune Tellers
by | September 7, 2012 | 42 Comments
I have been looking forward to the movie Fortune Tellers ever since it was announced, and here’s a closer look at the premise and the characters — and it looks like a hoot. An eerie and spine-tingly hoot, perhaps, but still: just as hilarious as it is jump-inducing. The setup is simple: One remote seaside... More »

Ha Ji-won headlines comic action sageuk movie
by | August 14, 2012 | 101 Comments
Three beautiful secret agents in the Joseon era. That’s the premise behind this movie, which is titled, oh-so-aptly, Joseon Trio of Beauties. It’s a literal translation of the working title, which I hope means they’ll figure out something a little cleverer and, say, less obvious than that in time for its premiere. ‘Cause armed with...

8th Jecheon International Music & Film Festival
by | August 9, 2012 | 68 Comments
It’s been four years (eep!) since the last time I wrote about Jecheon International Music & Film Festival, mostly because it’s not the most exciting of events. But the inclusion of Yoon Eun-hye into any red carpet automatically kicks it up a notch on the scale of interesting, no? The festival’s now in its 8th... More »

The Thousandth Man sets its table for August premiere
by | July 29, 2012 | 26 Comments
For a drama starring a hero trying to escape being eaten by the heroine (literally—she’s a gumiho), I find the inclusion of a chef character dryly funny. And the setup makes it even cheekier. So here’s a look at The Thousandth Man, the upcoming show starring Lee Chun-hee as the man in danger of becoming... More »

The 16th Busan International Film Festival opened on October 6, and the red carpet to the opening screening — So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo’s tragic romance Only You — was awash with stars. (For those of you used to seeing the festival called PIFF, it recently changed its spelling. The festival is in its 16th... More »

Kang Ye-won, Lee Je-hoon cast in horror comedy Fortunetellers
by | October 5, 2011 | 10 Comments
“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 »

Lee Min-ki is flashy and badass in Quick
by | June 18, 2011 | 46 Comments
Man, this is the best movie trailer I’ve seen in a while. How can something that tells you so little about the movie — at least in terms of story — be so cool? It doesn’t even show you its star’s face — and with Lee Min-ki (Chilling Romance, Haeundae) as the lead, it’s quite... More »
