[Choo A-young's Music Box] Ridley Scott's Message of Hope in 〈Dog Star: Last Hope〉 and Hozier's 'Like Real People Do'

Film music hooks me first. It often reveals emotions that images and dialogue alone cannot fully carry, and it can open a window onto a filmmaker's hidden intentions. For me, understanding film music has been one path to understanding the film itself.

Why 'Digger' Had to Lie

Box-office prospects were already more or less lost, yet 〈Digger〉 is earning strong reviews from audiences. Of course, some viewers dislike it as critics did before release, but in South Korea (as of Oct. 7) it has a Watcha score of 3. 8 and a CGV Golden Egg of 92%, earning especially strong marks.

Why TVING Put Dating in the Bleachers: Lee Gi-yeon and the Hosts of 〈Wonsu-neun Oeya-seok-eseo♥〉

Baseball and dating, two of South Korea’s biggest obsessions right now, have been brought together. The genre of Korean dating shows — which has evolved from remote islands to unfamiliar travel spots, from sibling duets to programs pairing people who have never dated before — has reached another...
'Look Back' and Yuta Bando's Music of Nature's Cycle

'Look Back' and Yuta Bando's Music of Nature's Cycle

Choo A-young's Music Box
I get hooked on music in films. Music often reveals intimate emotions that images and dialogue alone cannot fully convey. It can serve as a window into a creator's hidden intentions. For me, understanding film music has been one route into the movie itself.

[Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box] 38-Year 'Rookie' Actor Nam Kwon-a of 'Tazza: The Song of Belzebub' and 'Gyeongju Trip'

[Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box] 38-Year 'Rookie' Actor Nam Kwon-a of 'Tazza: The Song of Belzebub' and 'Gyeongju Trip'

I am curious about people. Even actors already drawing attention may be having the least famous day of their careers right now. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box' introduces actors whose profiles are reaching new highs by the day. Buy into these rising stars while they are still undervalued.
If I had to name just one Korean commercial film released this year whose performance fell short of expectations, it would unquestionably be 〈Gyeongju Trip〉. The film's provocative story and its sheer determination to swing between comedy and tragedy with almost ungainly roughness certainly shone,...

Joo Sung-chul's Locker: What's Wrong With Talking About 'Assassins' and the Missing Bullet?

I fixate on objects in movies. I find myself wondering why the director, cinematographer, production designer or actor placed that particular object in front of the camera. 'Joo Sung-chul's Locker' records the objects in movies that quietly catch my eye.
〈Assassins〉 has canceled all events tied to the Busan International Film Festival, which opens today, Oct. 6. The cancellations began with actor Lee Min-ho's absence from Actors' House, a program that brings actors together with audiences, and were followed by the cancellation of one stage greeting...
