Cha Seung-won’s Gosanja opens in second place at box office
Last weekend at the box office, crime-thriller Age of Shadows was the number one viewed movie in domestic theaters, but it was historical period film Gosanja (also known as The Map Against the World) that became the dark horse that surged in front of Hollywood blockbuster Alice Through the Looking Glass to place second. Set... More »

Pied Piper: Episode 1
We’re a little late weighing in on Pied Piper, which premiered on tvN a couple weeks ago, but I’d been increasingly antsy to see what new things the Liar Game production team would trot out, and if nothing else, had to at least cover this episode. (And it is nothing else as of now—as much... More »

Talk rules the day in crisis negotiation thriller Pied Piper
Pretty! Police-negotiation thriller Pied Piper is gearing up for its big premiere (it follows Cheese in the Trap on tvN, not that I’m ready for that to be over yet), and here’s a whole slew of stills and behind-the-scenes shots from the show. I knew to expect strong cinematography and vivid visuals from the Liar... More »

2015 SBS Drama Awards
Whee, there’s eye candy galore today, here in No. 2 of 3 of the broadcaster drama awards (KBS’s awards post is forthcoming), here at the 2015 SBS Drama Awards. This event had perhaps a smidge more starpower than last night’s MBC Drama Awards, which I attribute to SBS having had more hit dramas in the... More »

Jo Seung-woo drops Pied Piper, Shin Ha-kyun signs on
Saaaaad. Don’t get me wrong, I like Shin Ha-kyun (Mr. Back). But I love Jo Seung-woo (God’s Gift—14 Days), which is why I’m sad to hear that he ended up turning down the offer to headline tvN’s Pied Piper. Just don’t stay away from TV for too long, okay? The new series from the PD-writer... More »

2015 Blue Dragon Awards
The Blue Dragon Film Awards are one of the biggest awards ceremonies of the year in Korean film, but this time the red carpet seemed more star-studded than usual, perhaps because it’s such a direct contrast to the Daejong Film Awards, which were held last week amidst great controversy. Already the day before the Blue... More »

Cha Seung-won to follow up Hwajeong with another Joseon-era sageuk
I guess we won’t be seeing Cha Seung-won in this century anytime soon, because he’s following up his current 50-episode historical drama Hwajeong with a new movie also set in Joseon. (Though you know what we’re really waiting for is another stint as Chajumma on Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village. *puppy eyes*) The film... More »

Heard It Through the Grapevine: Episode 2
These are the faces of the condemned about to face judge, jury, and executioner in the form of In-sang’s parents. They’re in for a shock even greater than the pregnancy reveal itself, culminating in a strangely funny sequence of events as the Han Family gets turned upside down. The tone still swings from funny to... More »

Heard It Through the Grapevine: Episode 1
Well, this is going to be interesting. Heard It Through the Grapevine premiered on SBS this week in an attempt to fill the gaping hole in the lineup left by Punch, which is a hard act to follow if there ever was one. Boasting an unusual premise dealing with a teenage pregnancy between a poor... More »
