[Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box] 'Off to Work Again!' Star Kang Ki-dong, the Sturdy Pillar of Korean Dramas

[Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box] 'Off to Work Again!' Star Kang Ki-dong, the Sturdy Pillar of Korean Dramas

I’m curious about people. Even actors already getting attention may be at the low point of their public profile. "Kim Ji-yeon's Jewel Box" spotlights performers who keep setting new highs day after day. Buy the breakout stocks at their lows.
Anyone who watches Korean dramas has likely noticed Kang Ki-dong at least once — the reliably grounded actor whose supporting turns keep stealing scenes. In the tvN drama 〈Off to Work Again!〉, which concluded on the 28th, Kang played Jeon Gi-tae, a seven-year office veteran and a member of Saeum...

Review: Peter Parker Leaves ‘Home’ Behind in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ — But Does the Reinvention Work?

After 〈Spider-Man: No Way Home〉 wiped Peter Parker from everyone’s memory, 〈Spider-Man: Brand New Day〉 sends him into a lonelier, heavier new chapter — following Spider-Man, now living like a Marvel version of the reality series 'I Live Alone,' as he encounters a new enemy.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] See ‘Hope’ Again Through the Driver-Grade Cap Joo Seong-cheol Wears While Racing Across Seong-gi Bridge in ‘The Yellow Sea’ and ‘Goksung’

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] See ‘Hope’ Again Through the Driver-Grade Cap Joo Seong-cheol Wears While Racing Across Seong-gi Bridge in ‘The Yellow Sea’ and ‘Goksung’

I get hooked on the objects in the movies. I end up deep in thought about why the director—whether it was the director, the cinematographer, the production designer, or even an actor—put that particular item in front of the camera. ‘Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker’ is a record of the objects in films that delicately landed on my eyes.
Park Chan-wook’s 〈The Handmaiden〉 and Na Hong-jin’s 〈Goksung〉 were released in 2016, on June 1 and May 12, respectively, in the same year. Coincidentally, both films were invited to the Cannes Film Festival that year—Park Chan-wook’s to the competition section and Na Hong-jin’s to the...

How Na Hong-jin’s ‘Hope’ Maps Korea’s Paranoid Beliefs, Part 2

How Na Hong-jin’s ‘Hope’ Maps Korea’s Paranoid Beliefs, Part 2

▶〈Hope〉: this piece continues Part 1. Director Na Hong-jin deliberately disorients the audience by showing Beom-seok misidentify the alien's location. Beom-seok and Jong-gu are both police officers, but they are timid and incompetent.

In 'Hope,' Na Hong-jin Maps Korea’s Paranoid Faith①

In 'Hope,' Na Hong-jin Maps Korea’s Paranoid Faith①

The trailer for 〈Hope〉 promises a showdown between humans and aliens. Instead, director Na Hong-jin delays the alien’s appearance until nearly an hour into the film and focuses first on how a stray rumor spirals into collective panic.
