Netflix continues to deliver in the action department, with the streaming giant having now set a 2025 release date for what sounds like a truly gripping martial arts epic. The upcoming series, superbly titled Last Samurai Standing and based on the manga “Ikusagami,” promises to deliver an “intriguing tale of survival and honor,” according to Netflix, and centers on 292 warriors who gather at a temple for a battle royale and the allure of a 100-billion-yen prize. So, think Squid Game but with samurai. We're sold.

Amid this mass fight to the death is our hero, set to be portrayed by Jun'ichi Okada, who must survive the slashing of samurai swords to save his wife and child. As per What’s on Netflix, as part of the streamer’s international release announcement, Last Samurai Standing will debut in 2025. While a more specific release date has yet to be announced, you can imagine...

K-dramas have a theme for almost anything a viewer is looking for, including boss and employee dramas in which the characters fall in love. There are suspense, dramas, thrillers, and highly popular love stories. Some may not want to admit it, but love stories involving falling in love with the boss are a guilty pleasure. Maybe it involves the shy new girl who catches the eye of the handsome and rich CEO. In some cases, the power play is reversed. Regardless, K-dramas have a way of hooking audiences with their dynamic storylines.

If looking for some new K-dramas to add to a watch list, look no further. K-dramas continue to rise in popularity as streaming websites like Viki and Netflix make shows such as Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Pachinko accessible to a wider audience. K-dramas are known to feature diverse storylines and transcend genres, but nothing beats classic stories of love and romance.

Netflix is on something of an action movie hot streak right now thanks to the likes of Rebel Ridge, Hit Man, The Shadow Strays, and more. To the delight of action fans everywhere, the trend continues with the brutal and bloody martial arts epic, Uprising. The historical war movie is now available to stream on the platform, and reactions from both critics and audiences have started to emerge.

Kate Snchez of But Why Tho? A Geek Community heaps praise on Uprising for standing out for all the right reasons.

The choice of culture, history, and sins in one persons life and personal connections makes Uprising (2024) more than just another movie in the robust sageuk genre. It stands out for all the right reasons.

Daniel Hart of Ready Steady Cut awarded the movie a near-perfect 4/5, calling Uprising a treat and applauding the movie for not holding back.

Uprising does not hold...

Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon lead the cast of Gyeongseong Creature, a Netflix horror K-drama that starts as a period piece and moves into the present day during season 2. In addition to all the licensed K-dramas available on Netflix, the streamer is also known for original Korean productions. Gyeongseong Creature is one of many successful Netflix K-drama webseries, and while the first season received mixed reviews, the show was renewed for season 2.

Gyeongseong Creature season 1 takes place in 1945 in the final days of World War II. It combines real historical elements with science fiction aspects in a horror story set in Gyeongseong. The first season of the K-drama starring Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee sees Tae-sang and Chae-ok teaming up to investigate the Ongseong Hospital, which a lot of patients dont return. Gyeongseong Creature season 2 takes place in 2024 and sees Chae-ok, whos still alive, meeting a man who looks just like Jang Tae-sang.

Gyeongseong Creature season 2 brings back Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon in a story about legacy and karma, this time in 2024 instead of the late 20th century. One of many Netflix original K-dramas, Gyeongseong Creature premiered on December 22, 2023, with seven episodes. The final three episodes of the first season were released two weeks later on January 5, 2024. Shortly after the conclusion of season 1, Gyeongseong Creature was officially renewed for season 2. Given how season 1 ended, the announcement of a second chapter was hardly a surprise. Gyeongseong Creature 2 premiers Friday, September 27 on Netflix.

The horror K-Drama tells the story of Jang Tae-sang, whose life takes a turn after an investigation of a missing person leads him to Chae-ok, a detective who is also looking for someone who went missing. Together, Tae-sang and Chae-ok had to face the demons of their past, sometimes quite literally. Gyeongseong Creature season 1s ending was mostly self-contained and saw...

Netflix recently released a new Korean drama titled Love Next Door, and people can't stop talking about it. In fact, it's currently ranked on Netflix's top 10 TV shows list as of Aug. 19. The first two episodes dropped on Aug. 17 and Aug. 18, and there are still so many more left to be released. If you’ve added this show to your watchlist and are looking forward to checking it out, we must share with you all there is to know about it, including the release schedule.

Love Next Door is of the romance genre, like most Korean series usually are. Actually, it's a romantic comedy series that was helmed by Yoo Je-won from scripts written by Shin Ha-eun. They had previously worked together on the hit K-Drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.

The rom-com tells a frenemies-to-lovers story between Bae Seok-ryu, a product manager who returns to Korea to reboot her life, and Choi Seung-hyo,...

Love Next Door is a South Korean romantic comedy-drama series directed by Yoo Je-won from a screenplay by Shin Ha-eun.

The romantic comedy-drama series certainly has that charm that most K-drama fans love and it seems like it will be another hit among Netflix’s K-drama fans after Queen of Tears, which became the most popular Korean title on Netflix so far. So, if you are going to tune in for Love Next Door, we are here for all the information you will need to keep watching the series.

Love Next Door consists of sixteen episodes in total.

Gyeongseong Creature season 2 can make Chae-ok & Tae-sang's romance more believeable. Park Seo-joon's Tae-sang can be a better character in a modern setting with new depth and humor. Season 2's pacing can excel by addressing mysteries instantly, ensuring a more engaging narrative flow.

Gyeongseong Creature season 2 premiers in 2024, and the Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee-led K-drama can improve on the divisive first season in three major ways. Set in the final days of World War II, Gyeongseong Creature season 1 combined historical elements with a fictional story about a mysterious organism that could turn people into monsters. The characters played by Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon met amidst their investigation regarding the sinister Ongseong Hospital, inside of which secret experiments based on the true story of Unit 731 were happening.

Despite its incredibly talent lead actors, Gyeongseong Creature was not as well received as the best K-dramas starring Han So-hee or Park Seo-joon.

Finally, Netflix is getting pretty good at adapting animes and mangas into live-action and the fans are loving their latest adaptation Parasyte: The Grey. Based on a manga series titled Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki, the Netflix series follows the story of a group of people who must rise to defend themselves against alien parasites who are taking over people’s bodies. Parasyte: The Grey stars Jeon So-nee in the lead role with Masaki Suda, Lee Jung-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Kwon Hae-hyun, Kim In-kwon, and Lee Hyun-kyun starring in supporting roles. So, if you loved the gore and the unique storyline in Parasyte: The Grey here are some similar shows you should check out next.

Parasyte: The Maxim has the same plot as Parasyte: The Grey because both of the shows are based on the same manga series titled Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki.

Han So-hee is playing Chae-ok in Gyeongseong Creature season 2, not a descendant of Chae-ok. Chae-ok's return in season 2 is likely due to her being saved by her mother with the Najin parasite. Tae-sang and Chae-ok must come back as a couple in season 2, although the former's return is still confusing.

Han So-hee stars in the upcoming Gyeongseong Creature season 2 after playing Chae-ok in season 1, an exciting return that is made even better by one important detail. Two years after playing the lead role in the Netflix K-drama My Name, actress Han So-hee starred in another web series for the streamer, Gyeongseong Creature. The period drama with elements of horror and science fiction premiered at the end of 2023 and will return for a new season later this year.

Gyeongseong Creature 2 was included in Netflix’s 2024 K-drama slate trailer, which offered a brief first look at the upcoming new season. Both...

Park Seo-joon is playing a character called Ho-jae in Gyeongseong Creature season 2. It's unclear whether Ho-jae and Tae-sang are the same person, or if the former is a descendant of the latter. It would be weird if Chae-ok fell in love with a descendant of Tae-sang.

One popular Gyeongseong Creature season 2 theory that tries to explain why the series is now set in 2024 would make Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee’s reunion on the show very awkward. Gyeongseong Creature season 1 ended on a massive cliffhanger, with a character known as Ho-jae appearing in modern-day Seoul after most of the show took place in 1945 Gyeongseong. It is now confirmed that Gyeongseong Creature season 2, which is one of the Netflix K-dramas premiering in 2024, will be set in the present day.

It has also been confirmed by the first official synopsis that Han So-hee is still playing Chae-ok despite the 79-year time jump.

Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 takes place in the present day, posing a challenge for handling characters from 1945. Tae-sang and Chae-ok are likely to return with new powers, but most supporting characters may not be alive in 2024. Flashbacks may be used in Season 2 to explore characters from 1945, while the show could feature villains using the Najin to stay alive.

Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee are both returning for Gyeongseong Creature season 2, which creates a challenge for the show regarding how to handle the other characters in the series' new setting. While Gyeongseong Creature season 1 was a historical K-drama set in 1945, season 2 will take place in the present day. Gyeongseong Creature is among the Netflix K-dramas releasing in 2024, and two clips from the new season have already been revealed. Han is reprising her role as Chae-ok, whereas Park is seemingly playing a character called Ho-jae.

Assuming Park Seo-joon’s character in Gyeongseong Creature...

Gyeongseong Creature 2 will be set 79 years later. Chae-ok and Tae-sang may both become monsters due to Najin organism infection. Chae-ok was infected by her mother, who was trying to save her, whereas Tae-sang may have drank the contaminated glass of water.

Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee’s characters in Gyeongseong Creature are set to be very different in season 2 now that the show is adding a dark twist to their stories. Gyeongseong Creature season 1’s ending left a lot of doors open for a possible second season to explore. Fortunately, the Netflix K-Drama series was renewed for season 2 and will premiere in 2024 but with a twist. Gyeongseong Creature 2 will take place in 2024, 79 years after the events of the first season.

Two Gyeongseong Creature season 2 clips have been shared so far, both of which see Park and Han interacting in modern-day Seoul. Season 1’s post-credits scene introduced a “new” character named Ho-jae,...

Park Seo-joo and Han So-hee return in Gyeongseong Creature 2, set 79 years after season 1. The show's new setting in 2024 creates mystery around Tae-sang & Chae-ok's dynamic and potential new love story. Gyeongseong Creature's modern-day shift presents an opportunity for Tae-sang and Chae-ok's love story to be reimagined.

Gyeongseong Creature season 2 will see the return of Park Seo-joo and Han So-hee despite the show’s new setting, which makes the Netflix K-drama’s return much more exciting. While the Ongseong Hospital was destroyed, Gyeongseong Creature season 1’s ending left a lot of loose ends that made season 2 all but inevitable. Not only is Gyeongseong Creature 2 happening, but the series is returning this year as part of Netflix’s 2024 K-content slate.

Shortly after the release of season 1, part 2, Netflix announced that a second season of Gyeongseong Creature was in the works. As teased by the show’s confusing post-credits scene, Gyeongseong Creature will...

While I truly appreciate a compelling Korean ‘melo,‘ there are times when the drama becomes overwhelming, hijacking the plot’s integrity. My anticipation for The Moon was sky-high, and with its stellar cast, including popular actors, and my high expectations from the Hallyu industry, I entered with excitement. The realms of space and the future have been thoroughly explored in Korean media, with works like Space Sweepers and The Silent Sea finding success. Personally, I encountered similar concerns with ‘Space Sweeper,’ starring Song Jong-Ki, as I did with The Moon. Both films are excessively lengthy and strain for an emotional impact that ultimately falls short. I understand that this is a cultural denominator, similar to what we have with Indian films, but the criticism still stands when the film becomes tedious and feels overstretched.

The Moon details a space expedition to the moon conducted by Korea’s very own Naro Space Center.

"Requesting return to the Halo orbit." Cj Entertainment has revealed two teaser trailers for their new sci-fi movie called The Moon, a space survival movie that seems like a Korean cross between The Martian and Apollo 13. It's written and directed by the Korean filmmaker Yong-hwa Kim, also best known as the creator of the LittleBigPlanet video game. It depicts the struggle of an astronaut who accidentally becomes isolated in space, and the rescue plan led by former head of a space center. Seon-woo walks on the surface of the Moon when solar winds unexpectedly hit and bring a meteor shower. While he survives, his journey back to earth proves difficult as he winds up stranded in space. Jae-Kook back down on Earth tries to save him. The film stars Do Kyung-soo, also known by his stage name D.O. of K-pop boy band Exo, and Sul Kyung-gu, plus Kim Hee-ae,...
