With Nam Joo-Hyuk enlisted in the military, we were under the impression that we’d have to wait two whole years to see him again, but here we have a new TV show with the actor as the leading man. The actor is known for his slice-of-life roles that are both adorable and emotional, and he does a fantastic job of balancing pain and humor that really makes you root for him, whatever the role may demand. The actor’s last show was Twenty-Five Twenty-One, which was widely beloved, even though the ending received a lot of backlash for being too realistic. Vigilante will see the mostly romantic actor in a completely new light, and we’re excited to see him try something new. The show is based on a webtoon of the same name and follows a very “Batman” tale, where a young man sets out to take revenge...

Female-centric sports dramas often bring a different angle to the tried and tested formula. Even Korean productions like “Forever the Moment” and “As One”, for example, have managed to entertain by focusing on female characters and stories. Choi Yoon-tae's debut feature “Baseball Girl” also attempts to do the same, setting the story in the often-visited world of Korean baseball.
“Baseball Girl” is available from Echelon Studios
Joo Soo-in used to be a star pitcher in middle school, the first female baseball player in 20 years. Since then though, the realities of high school and pro league baseball have held her back as she sees her teammates, even those with lesser abilities, progress forward while she stays where she is. Her situation with her family is also at a boiling point, a father who doesn't bring in any money usually at loggerheads with a mother who just wants Soo-in to accept that...

It all started back in 2017 with “The Outlaws” (known as “Crime City” locally), the South Korean crime film starring Ma Dong-seok (Don Lee) as detective Ma Seok-do. It took five years before its sequel, “The Roundup” (“Crime City 2”) came out and it went on to become the highest grossing film of 2022 in South Korea, taking in over US$101million. A third installment, another smash hit, “The Roundup: No Way Out” (“Crime City 3”) quickly followed a year later with Ma returning as the beast detective leading a new team fighting more crime again.
It has been seven years since the events of the previous film, and detective Ma, after his promotion, now works for the Metropolitan Investigation Unit. While investigating the death of a woman believed to be a suicide case, he learns from her autopsy that she has in fact died from an overdose and a new drug known as Hiper is the cause.
