Cho Seung-Woo gained loyal fans when he played Prosecutor Hwang Si-mok in the award-winning K-drama series “Stranger” (2017; 2020). No doubt those who took notice of this stellar actor went searching for more Korean drama films and series where he was cast as the male lead.  These 2 Korean dramas are both streaming on Netflix and should be added to your watch list: Sisyphus: The Myth (2021) and Divorce Attorney Shin (2023).

Ellen Ripley, the next iconic survivor in Dead by Daylight’s horror lineup, joins the ranks. Known as the quintessential protagonist of Alien, she stands tall as one of the best-crafted female characters in horror and science fiction. The Xenomorph, announced months ago as the killer for the Alien Chapter, initially sparked excitement. However, my disappointment arises from BHVR decision not to secure Sigourney Weaver’s likeness for Ellen Ripley’s character model. It’s possible they allocated their budget to the Nicolas Cage DLC, which dropped a few months ago. Tackling the likeness of two renowned actors back-to-back might not have been feasible. Despite of having a different face, She still looks like Ellen Ripley because of her uniform and hair. When we had a Halloween chapter, Laurie Strode dont look like Jamie Lee Curtis. My anticipation led me to expect an outer space setting for the chapter. Yet, the impracticality of opening an exit gate in a space station and the exorbitant cost of animating a zero-gravity environment likely led Behavior to

Go watch ‘Alice” is a pun.  There are two (2) Korean drama series with the name ‘Alice’ in the title: “Alice’ (2020) and ‘Alice, the Final Weapon’ (2022). Do not be confused by the titles and assume that the latter one is a sequel. The two series are NOT the same. The storylines are completely different and the only thing they have in common is that they are both streaming on Viki. ● ‘Alice’ (2020); 16 episodes: Sci-Fi, Time Travel Just Because You Can Does Not Mean You Should The purpose of this series is to find the answer to the question: Even if time travel is possible, should it be permissible? The physicist who finally figured out how to accomplish time travel thought it was good. She thought that you can go back to your past and experience wonderful memories again. What a pity that others found more sinister and pernicious ways to take advantage of time traveling. In this series “Alice” is the name of an organization. There

Space Sweepers is a sci-fi K-drama film, released in 2021, currently streaming on Netflix. You do not need much imagination to figure out that it’s about people who sweep space collecting junk and debris. There are junkyards on Earth. Why wouldn’t there be junkyards in Space? PLOT SUMMARY: “The year is 2092, and Earth is borderline uninhabitable, overrun by arid deserts and the dry orange color grading of Blade Runner 2049. Everyone who can afford it has moved off the ruined planet to live in orbit on a seemingly utopian colony named Eden, built and ruled by a megacorporation.” (Quote Source: Space Sweepers review: Netflix sci-fi movie feels like Cowboy Bebop | Polygon) A Little Girl is Not Debris, But She Can Be a Bomb The environment on Earth in the year 2092 is awful. There are no trees. It is so bad that an evil mad scientist who heads up UTS Corporation and is also 152 years old, has decided that it’s better to destroy the planet and go

Black Mirror Season 6 is coming to Netflix after four years of waiting. After four years of waiting, Black Mirror Season 6 is finally coming to Netflix. Fans typically assume a show is silently canceled if there are no announcements for that long. Black Mirror is an anthology of standalone science fiction TV movies that showcase the dark side of technology. Originally produced for the British TV station Channel 4, it hired unknown British actors. However, when Channel 4 canceled the show, Netflix rescued it and gave it a bigger budget for Season 3, which included Hollywood actors. Many unknown actors became household names after appearing in Black Mirror, including Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Angourie Rice, and Bryce Dallas Howard. Unfortunately, Season 5 was not well received, and many fans assumed that the four years of silence meant the show was canceled. Some fans even resorted to alternatives while waiting for Black Mirror Season 6. But now, fans can celebrate because Charlie Brooker, the show’s creator, will give us new
