Ra Mi-Ran is on fire this year with the highly successful The Good Bad Mother, and now this show so soon after. The veteran actress proves again her versatility between her unique roles in these two largely different shows. Cold Blooded Intern, as the name suggests, is a workplace drama, with each episode lasting about 35 minutes, half of the usual run time for Korean dramas. The show also stars Uhm Ji-Won, another veteran actress who previously worked with Ra Mi-Ran back in 2013 on a movie titled “Hope.” The two actresses look fantastic, and the show is refreshing with its themes revolving around older women and motherhood in the workplace.

“Hope” was director Lee Joon-ik's comeback after a brief two-year hiatus. It also won Best Film at the 34th Blue Dragon awards. The script is based on a true story of an 8-year-old girl named Na-young, who was beaten and raped by a drunk 57-year-old man, in a public bathroom.

The story begins with an ordinary family living in a small town, owning a grocery store named after their daughter So-won (Lee Re), whose name means «hope». The father (Sol Kyung-gu) and the mother (Uhm Ji-won) are highly overworked and as a result, their cheerful, free-spirited child is often on her own, playing and watching television. That ordinary happy life of hers suddenly changes, due to a heinous act. One day while going to school, So-won is followed by a drunk old man (Gang Seong-hae). That meeting of theirs,...

Yeon Sang-ho may have not been able to replicate the grand success of his live-action debut “Train to Busan” yet, but you have to hand it to the writer-director for never shying away from trying new challenges and newer genres. After showing much promise in his much acclaimed animated features “King of Pigs” and “The Fake”, he ventured into live-action territory with “Train to Busan”, following that up with with the superhero entry “Psychokinesis” before going back to the world of zombies with “Peninsula”, which may not have lived up to the hype of the original (or even its animated prequel “Seoul Station”), yet ended up being the highest-grossing Korean release in the pandemic inflicted 2020. Yeon would then join hands with Netflix to bring his webtoon “Hellbound” to an Ott series before re-teaming with the streaming giant for his first venture into full-blown sci-fi with “Jung_E”.

Currently streaming on Netflix, JUNG_E is the latest film from Sang-ho Yeon, the director of zombies-on-a-train nailbiter Train to Busan. Whilst this dystopian robo-thriller doesn’t quite hit the same heights, it’s still an engaging slice of sci-fi, even if it’s ultimately much less action-packed than the promotional material suggests.
JUNG_E opens with a protracted series of captions, explaining that it’s 2194 and the Earth has been largely evacuated due to pollution and climate disaster. The only problem is that the various orbiting moon stations have devolved into Civil War, leaving those still on Earth perfecting robo-weapons to help end the conflict.
One such weapon is super-soldier General Yun Jung-yi (Kim Hyun-joo), a highly skilled battle robot built from the DNA and memories of a real military hero, who fell in battle and...

Also known as “The Odd Family: Zombie On Sale”, Zombie For Sale, released through Arrow Video a couple of weeks ago, is a zombie horror comedy with elements of romance tossed in for good measure. If you’re thinking, however, “oh no, not another zom-rom-com” then think again, because this isn’t a run of the mill romance with zombies. It has plenty of original and unique things going on to make it very different from anything else you would have seen in the genre, and it makes for an absolute joy of a film.
I was unsure what to expect when I went into this one, but in the end I found myself thoroughly besotted with it. It’s hilarious, cute, charming and looks delightful too. The cast throw themselves, feet-first, into...

Hae-Young Lee's Foxy Festival is a romantic comedy about letting your freak flag fly set to a boom chikka chikka disco porn rhythm. For the most part, it's very funny, and occasionally sweet. But the overall experience suffers because one character is so dramatically out of sync with the cast and the story that he feels like an artifact from another movie entirely. That would be Ha-Kyun Shin's Jang-Bae, a loutish beat cop impressed with the size of his own member, but oblivious to the fact that it does nothing for his long-suffering girlfriend, Ji-Su (Ji-Won Uhm). This lovely and patient young woman goes to great pains to feed and clean up after this gorilla, but through it all he screams at her, accuses her...
