“Ashin of the North” is screenwriter Kim Eun-Hee’s concession to “Kingdom” fans, who are eagerly awaiting the third season of the popular Netflix series. This stand-alone episode — or film, depending on how you view it — is entertaining, but not nearly of the same caliber of storytelling as the first two seasons of this zombie period piece.
“Come and Hug Me” star Jang Ki Yong announced that he will enlist on Monday, August 23. The popular actor is leaving while enjoying great success as an actor. See you in 18 months, Ki Yong. Fighting!

As with Choi Jin-Hyuk’s previous police procedural, “Tunnel,” there are some convoluted plot issues that drag down “Rugal.” Choi is handsome and charismatic, but he can only do so much with so-so dialogue.
The first half of “Oh My Ghost” is what I refer to as a laundry series. I was so disinterested in the plot that it took me months to finish, and most of it was while I was sorting and folding laundry. But all that changed in the second half when the series veered from the repetitive plot of a horny ghost wanting to bed a handsome chef, and turned into a thrilling murder mystery.
“Move to Heaven” is a beautiful and at times brutal series that tells so many touching stories. One of the most important aspects was in how the series showed respect for the dead, even when the supposed loved ones of the deceased don’t seem to care.
KOCOWA’s celebrating its 4th Anniversary with a 25% discount on annual subscriptions. Now’s the perfect time to sign up and watch all three seasons of “The Penthouse,” “Taxi Driver” and the classic “Healer”!
“Space Sweepers” has a lot of things going for it — great acting, cinematography, special effects. But once you’re done oohing and ahhing at the visual onslaught, it’ll sink in that what the film lacks is a cohesive storyline.
“Beyond Evil” is one weird (in an interesting way) Korean series that centers on the search for a serial killer, who murdered multiple women — including the protagonist’s younger sister. Virtually all the major characters are suspects at one point or another, with damning evidence that has been carefully weaved into the storyline.

BTS has the Midas touch when it comes to making hit records. “Butter” is their fourth chart topper (in less than nine months) to hit No. 1!
An espionage thriller with comedy and romance, “Man to Man” is a fun action thriller with great action scenes and a warm bromance. Park Hae-Jin is charming as the handsome ghost agent to whom everyone is attracted to.,
“Taxi Driver” is a thrilling series in the vein of “The Equalizer,” “Profiler” and “The Pretender.” Rainbow Taxi Service driver by day and justice seeker by (mostly) night, Do-Gi and his team are funded by a philanthropist whose parents were murdered decades ago. The goal is to rehabilitate them, but what it all boils down to is revenge.
