Lee Joon-ik Makes the Case for a 'Vertical Revolution' at 'Father's Home Cooking' Q&A

“If horizontal film is a landscape painting, the vertical frame is a portrait. You can focus more deeply on a character’s inner life, and on set every actor gets a solo shot — it becomes a kind of liberated space for cinema where everyone stands equal.

[Seong Chan-eol’s Comics] Unusual Beings Become High School Students in 「Ruri Dragon」 and 「Ogami Tsumiki and Her Unusual Daily Life」

I have a soft spot for pop-culture fandoms. I check out anything with fresh ideas or characters — not just movies but webtoons, games, manga and animation. Comics opened the door to fandom for me; these days I’m a grown-up kid who reads manga on an e-reader and webtoons on my phone.
