In a time when honor, courage, and power are determined on the battlefield, there’s no place for fairytales or love stories. However, when two wretched souls, wounded by treason and betrayal, meet in the most fateful way in a second chance to set their lives straight, a legend is born. This is the story that costume C-drama “Legend of the Female General,” starring Zhou Ye and Ryan Cheng, brings this summer to us! Warning: spoilers ahead! The story seems pretty familiar in the classical way: a young woman disguised as a man enters the army in order to prove her value…

Earlier this year, CIX’s Thunder became a favorite of many fans. I liked the song too, though it has enjoyed little-to-no staying power on my playlist. Still, its crunchy electro funk felt like a nice makeover for the group’s sound. That sense of bombast seems to be a one-off as new single Wonder You (니가 궁금해) shifts things yet again. We’re in murkier territory with this one as an insistent synthline belies a track that’s far more reserved than expected. CIX have released great midtempo material before and there are moments where Wonder You feels as if it will become…
Momoland are back! I repeat: Momoland are back! This is not a drill. After their disbandment in 2023, the group have proven that nothing is ever really dead in K-pop and have made a return with new single Rodeo. This is their first new music in nearly four years — a time period that represents a complete generational shift in K-pop. So while some corners of the internet will be charmed by their return, younger audiences might be scratching their heads and asking: “who?” Momoland had a brief period of ubiquity in the late-2010s with fluffy, upbeat material like Bboom…
Nine years after debuting as part of NCT Dream, Haechan is finally releasing an album of his own. He’s a huge R&B fan and worked with a small team of collaborators to craft a suite of songs that honor that genre. It’s a sign of shifting generations that the template for male soloists has gone from Michael Jackson/Prince to Justin Timberlake. This feels like a major downgrade to me, but JT’s Justified is a legitimately great album and Haechan’s CRZY is heavily influenced by its lead single Like I Love You. Haechan has one of my favorite voices in NCT.…

Set in a lawless Joseon era where the once-clear Gyeong River has turned into a murky stream, “The Murky Stream” follows the turbulent fates of Si Yool (Rowoon), who hides his past and becomes a rogue, Choi Eun (Shin Ye Eun), the wise and righteous youngest daughter of Joseon’s top merchant, and Jeong Cheon (Park Seo Ham), who dreams of becoming an incorruptible official.

Netflix’s upcoming film “Good News” has dropped a gripping new teaser! Set in 1970, “Good News” follows a group of people who devise a bizarre and risky plan to land a hijacked airplane by any means necessary. The teaser captures attention with its outrageous premise: a hijacked Japanese passenger plane headed for Pyongyang must somehow be hijacked again from the ground.
