Yeon Sang-ho may have not been able to replicate the grand success of his live-action debut “Train to Busan” yet, but you have to hand it to the writer-director for never shying away from trying new challenges and newer genres. After showing much promise in his much acclaimed animated features “King of Pigs” and “The Fake”, he ventured into live-action territory with “Train to Busan”, following that up with with the superhero entry “Psychokinesis” before going back to the world of zombies with “Peninsula”, which may not have lived up to the hype of the original (or even its animated prequel “Seoul Station”), yet ended up being the highest-grossing Korean release in the pandemic inflicted 2020. Yeon would then join hands with Netflix to bring his webtoon “Hellbound” to an Ott series before re-teaming with the streaming giant for his first venture into full-blown sci-fi with “Jung_E”.

Currently streaming on Netflix, JUNG_E is the latest film from Sang-ho Yeon, the director of zombies-on-a-train nailbiter Train to Busan. Whilst this dystopian robo-thriller doesn’t quite hit the same heights, it’s still an engaging slice of sci-fi, even if it’s ultimately much less action-packed than the promotional material suggests.
JUNG_E opens with a protracted series of captions, explaining that it’s 2194 and the Earth has been largely evacuated due to pollution and climate disaster. The only problem is that the various orbiting moon stations have devolved into Civil War, leaving those still on Earth perfecting robo-weapons to help end the conflict.
One such weapon is super-soldier General Yun Jung-yi (Kim Hyun-joo), a highly skilled battle robot built from the DNA and memories of a real military hero, who fell in battle and...

This JUNG_E article contains spoilers.
From Yeon Sang-ho, the director of Train to Busan, JUNG_E is a sci-fi drama set in a dystopian future where the Earth has been ravaged by climate change and is no longer habitable. Humans are forced to abandon the planet for man-made shelters in space, though not every shelter is on board with their proposed leadership. What remains of humanity becomes engulfed in a civil war between the Allied Forces and the Adrian Republic.
But there’s more to JUNG_E than war games and big CG-laden battles. Deep down, Sang-ho’s newest film is about the ethics of AI bred for war and the commercialization of death. JUNG_E tells the story of Captain Yun Jung-yi, a legendary soldier whose failed final mission leads to her brain being cloned by a military AI development company, Kronoid, in an effort to design the ultimate robotic soldier in her image.

Jung_E is a new sci-fi movie written and directed by Yeon Sang-ho starring Kim Hyun-joo, Kang Soo-youn and Ryu Kyung-Soo. It will be available on Netflix from January 2023.
This is a movie by the new sensation in South Korean filmaking, Yeon Sang-hol, director of Train to Busan and the great Hellbound (there will be a second season of this one). This time, we head for science-fiction with a plot that is like Terminator (directly) or Ex-Machina.
The script has plots that have been more or less “borrowed” from others with the structure of an action film with very good rhythm and effects that are… contradictory. Very good some times in rhythm, sound and above all, editing but sometimes the robots (very much inspired by Terminator) seem to be lacking technology.
However, if you want a futuristic, apocalyptic action film with a good script treatment, Jung-e is a good option...

Remakes are tricky business, even when they are of features that were only moderately successful. In such cases, the makers on the new project have to figure out exactly what worked and what didn’t in the original and find a balance that keeps the essence of the original and also builds upon it to make it a better work. This is exactly the task first-time director Pil Kam-sung finds at his hands, who adapts Hong Kong production “Saving Mr. Wu”, which was itself loosely based on the real-life kidnapping of a Chinese TV actor. To make his narrative stand out, Pil came up with an innovative quirk: casting superstar Hwang Jung-min to play himself in the feature.

Netflix is staying in the Yeon Sang-ho business, confirming production on his latest creation, The Bequeathed. A suspense drama, it weaves an intricate family history into a subject matter deeply rooted in Korean tradition: family burial grounds.
Hellbound creator and Train to Busan and Peninsula filmmaker Yeon also recently set horror series Parasyte: The Grey at Netflix. For The Bequeathed, he will serve as creator and writer. Min Hong-nam, who has worked closely with Yeon as an Assistant Director on Train to Busan, Psychokinesis and Peninsula, will take on helming duties.
The Bequeathed centers on Kim Hyun-joo’s Yun Seo-ha, a young woman who inherits family land upon the sudden death of her uncle and finds herself mired in strange events that unravel deeply buried family troubles. Kim’s credits include Hellbound, Undercover and Watcher.
The cast also includes Park Hee-soon as the astute police detective Choi Seong-jun, who catches onto the connections between the mysterious events occurring in the town and the burial ground.
Park Byung-eun is Choi’s younger colleague and the squad chief who is gripped by envy and a feeling of inferiority owing to an incident from the past involving Choi.
Ryu Kyung-soo plays Seo-ha’s younger half-brother Kim Yeong-ho who gives her plenty to contend with.
There’s no word on timing as yet, though Netflix will release globally. The Bequeathed is produced by Wow Point and RedPeter Films.

2022 has been the year of Korean actors making their directorial debuts. But where Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung decided to debut with their own action features, actress Lee Joo-young, best known for her excellent work in small indie films like “Maggie” or “Baseball Girl” makes her debut with a similarly small but charming short film “Leave at Door, Bell X”.
Leave at Door, Bell X is screening at Busan International Film Festival
Ji-ho spends more than she should to buy a used bike, with the aim of working as a food delivery rider. One night, she picks up a delivery and misdelivers it to the wrong address, and every step she takes through the night to rectify her mistake just ends up in more delays, less money earned and lower ratings for her.

Shamanism is a practice that is deeply embedded into South Korean culture for centuries. Often seen in effect in horror films dealing in the supernatural, very few films tap into the stories of the shamans themselves and how they become a shaman, specially in the modern age. That is exactly what first-time feature director Lee Han-jong attempts to do with “Daemuga”, a production that was near release in 2020 but had to be delayed due to the pandemic.
Daemuga is screening at Busan International Film Festival
Split into four parts, “Daemuga” is the story of three shamans and one district redevelopment project. Sin-nam is a trainee shaman who doesn’t really have any psychic powers and bluffs his way into clients, when he meets a woman who wants a good shaman to help her talk to her deceased father. Eager to get the client who is ready to pay big money,...

Remakes are tricky business, even when they are of features that were only moderately successful. In such cases, the makers on the new project have to figure out exactly what worked and what didn’t in the original and find a balance that keeps the essence of the original and also builds upon it to make it a better work. This is exactly the task first-time director Pil Kam-sung finds at his hands, who adapts Hong Kong production “Saving Mr. Wu”, which was itself loosely based on the real-life kidnapping of a Chinese TV actor. To make his narrative stand out, Pil came up with an innovative quirk: casting superstar Hwang Jung-min to play himself in the feature.

“Hellbound,” the TV series debut of “Train to Busan” director Yeon Sang-ho, is one of three shows to be showcased in the new On Screen section of the Busan International Film Festival. The festival also announced that its Asian Contents & Film Market will operate in similar fashion to last year in a hybrid format.
The On Screen section is intended to “showcase highly anticipated drama series on Ott platforms as either world premieres or Asia premieres,” the festival said. This “precisely reflects the current state of the market, which is expanding multi-directionally, while embracing the extended flow and value of cinema.”
The two other new shows are “My Name,” from Kim Jin-min (Netflix’s “Extracurricular”), and youth drama “Forbidden,” which was co-directed by Thailand’s Anucha Boonyawatana and Korean-American, Josh Kim.
“Hellbound” and “My Name” are both Korean dramas set to play out on Netflix, while “Forbidden” is an HBO Asia original series.
