‘Hope’ Finally Meets Moviegoers. Here’s How Cineplay’s Critics Rated It

Advance bookings alone topped 600,000. That opening-day figure shows that 〈Hope〉 has become a national talking point, not just a movie-industry event. 〈Hope〉 is the new film from director Na Hong-jin, known for the tense, audacious intensity of 〈The Chaser〉, 〈The Yellow Sea〉 and 〈The Wailing〉.

[Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box] Han Ji-eun Gives the Best Scene-Stealing Performance of the First Half in 〈Notes from the Last Row〉

[Kim Ji-yeon’s Jewel Box] Han Ji-eun Gives the Best Scene-Stealing Performance of the First Half in 〈Notes from the Last Row〉

I am curious about people. Even actors already in the spotlight can be at their least visible moment right now. "Kim Ji-yeon's Jewel Box" introduces performers who are hitting new highs day by day. Buy the dip on tomorrow's breakout stars.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] David’s Stone That Took Down Goliath, “David” All the Way Through

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] David’s Stone That Took Down Goliath, “David” All the Way Through

I can’t help getting captivated by the objects in movies. I fall into deep thought over why, whether it’s the director, the cinematographer, the art director—or even the actor—someone felt compelled to place that particular item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the movie objects that came down on my eyes like stepping onto a soft stair.
Is there anyone who doesn’t know David’s stone. The story of David and Goliath that is told in 〈Robot Taekwon V〉(1976), and 〈General Tolly〉, and the 〈Ureomei〉 series, and countless other children’s animations and feature films—was also made by director Kim Cheong-gi, known for creating them all.
