Disney+ is adding another series to its fast-growing Korean drama library, picking up the action spy show The Tyrant.
The series tells the thrilling story of the race to find a bioweapon that is stolen during a secret handover between Korean and US intelligence agencies. The logline reads: “After years of toiling away on a secret project designed to drastically enhance human abilities, the Korean government’s plan is exposed by U.S. intelligence agencies. Furious about being kept in the dark, the U.S. demands all samples be handed over and the project be immediately shut down. But when the covert handover is attacked by an unknown party, agents from both sides will have to work together to avoid the dangerous new formula falling into the wrong hands.”

Stars: Kang Tae-Ju, Kim Seon-Ho, Justin John Harvey, Go Ara, Kang-woo Kim | Written and Directed by Park Hoon-jung
The Childe is the latest film from Korean writer/director Park Hoon-jung which means it comes with some pretty big expectations. Hoon-jung started his career as the writer of I Saw the Devil before going on to write and direct an impressive list of films including The New World, The Witch: Part 1 – The Subversion, and The Witch: Part 2 – The Other One.
The Childe sees him stepping away from the telekinetic madness of The Witch and its sequel and returning to somewhat more realistic subject matter involving Marco (Kang Tae-Ju). Marco is a boxer, fighting in various illegal matches in Manilla and using the money to care for his seriously ill mother. His situation is complicated by the fact he’s what is disparagingly referred to as a Kopino, half Korean, half Filipino,...

Doomsday Book
Written and directed by Jee-woon Kim and Pil-Sung Yim
South Korea, 2012
H.G. Wells, a godfather of modern apocalyptic literature, once said that, “all this world is heavy with the promise of greater things, and a day will come, one day in the unending succession of days, when beings who are not latent in our thoughts and hidden in our loins shall stand upon this earth as one stands upon a foot-stool and shall laugh and reach their hands amidst the stars”.
Decades later and continents away, Jee-woon Kim and Pil-Sung Yim’s Doomsday Book, an anthology of apocalyptic possibilities, channels the ethos of Wells’ work in a distinctly Korean endeavour. Broken into three disparate parts, the film is at times silly and farcical, and at others profound and insightful.
The film kicks off with a segment called A Brave New World, as in the Aldous Huxley novel of the same name.

A 2-minute preview of Kentaro Horikirizono’s Black Dawn has been released. In contrast to typical movie trailers that play like compressed versions of the movie, this is basically the kind of promo you’d normally see featured on a morning variety show, giving a fully narrated run-down of the story and characters.
The movie follows up a 2009 Nhk drama and features an original story. Atsuro Watabe stars as Sumimoto, a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police’s elite foreign affairs division who’s dubbed the “demon of public safety” for his willingness to employ questionable tactics to get the job done.
When confidential nuclear documents are stolen from a university in the chaos following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and an amount of enriched uranium goes missing in the Korean peninsula, Sumimoto and Matsuzawa (Machiko Ono) begin surveillance of a civilian named Kaori (Yoko Maki), the wife of a company president...

The story is set after the Tohoku Earthquake of March 11, 2011. During the turmoil and confusion that followed, sensitive data on nuclear components was stolen from a major university facility in the affected area.
Sumimoto (Atsuro Watabe), a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police’s elite foreign affairs/anti-terrorism division, is tailing a woman named Kaori (Yoko Maki), the wife of a company president (Kang-woo Kim) who has been involved in illegal foreign exports and is suspected of being a Korean spy.
