Explore Korean film design at 'Build On-Screen Worlds'
The exhibition displays works by production designers such as Ryu Sung-hee, who won the Vulcan Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 (Decision To Leave and The Handmaiden), Cho Hwa-sung (Hansan: Rising Dragon) and Han Ah-reum (Kill Boksoon and Kingmaker).
The works present concepts such as storyboard, concept design, set plan and graphic design, with a video of the set and film scenes to provide a glimpse of the process of the production process.
Sunju Lee, director of the Korean Cultural Center, said that Korean films have played a huge role in strengthening the country's soft power. She emphasised the sophistication and realistic representation achieved in these films are central to their global success, as they not only convey the film's message but also elevate its aesthetic achievements.
Lee also added that the centre will host a "Special Talk With The Director" on July 18 with Ryu, the production designer behind Netflix's popular series When Life Gives You Tangerines. The event will welcome members of the Thai film industry, film students and movie enthusiasts.
"I hope that the exhibition will contribute to developing the film industry of Korea and Thailand and cultural exchange between the two countries," she ended.
"Production Design: Scene Architects Build On-Screen Worlds" is on view weekdays at the Korean Cultural Center from now until July 26 from 8.30am until 5pm. For more details, visit facebook.com/koreanculturalcenterTH.

Happy's back
Happy Gilmore is back 29 years after the original movie helped make Adam Sandler a comedy superstar. Whether you're a fan of the 1996 film or not, there's no denying how important Happy Gilmore was to pop culture at the time and how it cemented itself as a cult sports comedy beloved by multiple generations. So when the news broke that Sandler would be reviving the character for Netflix, I was immediately torn between curiosity and concern. Comedy sequels, especially those released decades later, are rarely successful. More often than not, they lean too heavily on nostalgia, recycle old jokes and lack the spark that made the original a hit. There was definitely a worst-case scenario here: a tired lead actor phoning it in, a script overloaded with lazy callbacks and a parade of random cameos distracting from the plot. That would have been an insult to the original movie and its fans. Thankfully, Happy Gilmore 2 doesn't fall into that nightmare category. That's not to say it's a comedy classic in its own right -- far from it -- but I was pleasantly surprised to find it had just enough charm and sincerity to keep me watching. While it's nowhere close to topping the original, it's also not the embarrassment it could've been. Adam Sandler returns as Happy Gilmore, now a man in his late 50s whose professional golf career is long behind him. Once the king of the long drive, Happy has endured personal tragedy and financial trouble. After the loss of a loved one, he's now broke and living modestly with his four children. His once-glorious lifestyle has been reduced to a suburban shuffle, with eccentric pro golfer John Daly amusingly crashing in his garage. The central emotional hook of the story revolves around Happy's desire to support his daughter's dreams. When he learns that she's been accepted to a ballet school in Paris, but can't afford the tuition, Happy decides -- against all odds -- to revive his golf career. Naturally, this leads to a fish-out-of-water narrative as he tries to relearn the sport that made him famous, only this time older, rustier and more emotionally fragile. It's a familiar setup -- the "one last shot" storyline -- but it works reasonably well in the first half of the film. However, things take a wild turn midway through. The second half introduces a fictional new golf league called Maxi -- a loud, over-the-top, pro-wrestling-style version of professional golf. Think bright costumes, pyrotechnics and trash talk. Maxi is positioned as a threat to the dignity and tradition of the sport and it's up to Happy to defend golf's legacy. He joins forces with real-life pros like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler in a bid to stop the cartoonish chaos from taking over the game. This new twist gives the film a surreal energy but also pulls it further into gimmicky territory. Being a decades-later sequel, Happy Gilmore 2 features several returning characters. Julie Bowen's Virginia is back, though disappointingly underused considering how crucial she was in the first film. Christopher McDonald makes a triumphant return as Shooter McGavin, Happy's long-time rival. McDonald completely commits to the role and gives arguably the best comedic performance in the movie -- delightfully unhinged and every bit the egomaniac fans remember. Ben Stiller also returns as Hal L., the cruel nursing home orderly from the first film. But this time around, his character doesn't land quite as well. He doesn't feel like the same person -- his motivations are unclear and his presence feels more like a wink to the audience than an integral part of the story. While some of the returning characters still have their spark, others come off as forced or underdeveloped. The film is absolutely stuffed with cameos. Some are amusing, like real golfers (Keegan Bradley, Fred Couples, Nick Faldo), musicians (Post Malone, Eminem) who pop up in random places, but many feel unnecessary. Travis Kelce as a waiter? YouTubers and podcasters playing themselves? These moments add to the film's bloated runtime and sometimes detract from the emotional core. That said, I did find it touching how the film includes tributes to several original cast members who've passed away. These scenes are handled with genuine affection and Sandler's sentimental side shines through. Clocking in at nearly two hours, the film definitely runs about 15–20 minutes too long. A tighter edit might have helped focus the narrative and trim down the overwhelming number of callbacks and cameo appearances. There are more than a few moments where it feels like Happy Gilmore 2 could have been subtitled "Nostalgia Bait: The Movie". If you're not already attached to the original film, much of this sequel might fall flat for you. The movie starts slow and includes an awkward sequence where Happy plays with a trio of amateur golfers (including a strange cameo by Margaret Qualley) that didn't really work for me. But to the film's credit, it picks up after that. In terms of comedy, the film is uneven. There are a few genuine giggle moments and I did smile at some of the more absurd scenes. But overall, the humour feels inconsistent. The writing leans on tired jokes -- some of which are outdated -- and the punchlines often fall short. That's the film's biggest weakness. For a comedy, the jokes should be the strongest part. Here, they're hit or miss (mostly miss). Still, I can't say I regret watching it. It has just enough heart, a few strong performances and a sense of fun that prevents it from being a total misfire. I just don't think I'll revisit it the way I still occasionally do with the original. In the end, Happy Gilmore 2 is a serviceable sequel that hits some decent shots but never quite finds its groove. If the script had been more focused, the runtime shorter and the humour sharper, this could have been a much more triumphant return. Instead, it's a mildly entertaining follow-up that survives on charm and nostalgia, but won't win any majors. Happy Gilmore 2

A surreal telling
You are not alone if you get into Superstar, the new Netflix miniseries from Spain, without knowing it's based on a real-life figure -- a once-infamous Spanish dance-pop singer from the late 1990s named Tamara, who later reinvented herself as Yurena. Over six chaotic episodes, Superstar offers a fantastical, dreamlike dramatisation of her turbulent rise to fame and transformation into a pop culture phenomenon. But instead of presenting a straightforward biopic, the series delivers something much stranger and more stylised -- an offbeat, surreal trip through the glitter, trauma, and absurdity of notoriety. With its hallucinatory visuals, fractured storytelling and bizarre tonal shifts, Superstar feels like watching a show inside someone else's fever dream. And again, you're not alone if you finish all six episodes and walk away feeling like you somehow know less about Tamara than before. If that's the case, fear not -- Netflix also offers a companion documentary, I'm Still A Superstar, which provides more biographical context and can help ground the dramatic version for those who felt completely unmoored by the miniseries. As the new millennium dawned, Spain saw an explosion of fame that wasn't polished or conventional. Superstar captures that atmosphere, portraying a time when figures from the fringes of mainstream culture burst into public consciousness. Tamara -- improbable, unconventional and unapologetically herself -- embodied this strange, shifting era. For a few brief years, she dominated Spanish tabloid headlines and TV screens, challenging societal expectations of fame, beauty and success. The show reflects this spirit through its disorienting structure, vibrant visuals and larger-than-life characters. That said, this is not going to be for everyone. The show is bizarre -- at times purposefully off-putting. It presents a cast of characters who hover on the margins of society: grating, narcissistic, dysfunctional, and, in some cases, deeply repellent. While the overarching plot traces Tamara's rise in the public eye, each episode focuses on a particular environment or relationship that shaped her journey. These spaces -- be they her childhood home, a reality TV set or the backroom of a gaudy nightclub -- each deserve their own chapter in her mythos. Watching Superstar, I was reminded of the French film Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life (2010), a biopic of Serge Gainsbourg that also used surrealism and stylised fantasy to portray an artist's interior world. Similarly, Superstar blends the real with the imagined. The result is an experience that's more emotionally or symbolically true than literally accurate -- although that lack of clarity can be frustrating if, like me, you start the series without any knowledge of Tamara or her career. I can only imagine that many of the characters we see on screen are exaggerated versions of real people, filtered through a lens of satire and dark humour. There are amusing and strange details -- like Tamara's mother keeping a brick in her purse -- that may or may not be true, but feel emotionally symbolic. One particularly weird creative decision is having the same elderly actress portray the mother at every stage of Tamara's life, from childhood to adulthood. It's a bold, surreal choice that feels more metaphorical than realistic. But that's emblematic of the series' overall approach: blending fact and fiction so thoroughly that the line between what happened and what might have happened is nearly erased. The story does progress, mostly in linear fashion, but it's filtered through multiple points of view. This occasionally makes the timeline feel jumpy or disjointed, especially as each new character enters Tamara's life and brings their own perspective. However, the one constant is Tamara's mother, who remains by her side throughout the years. This relationship becomes a kind of emotional anchor, helping to ground the viewer and maintain a thread of continuity amid the chaos. Despite its strangeness, Superstar gradually builds momentum. Each episode adds another layer to the portrait of Tamara -- a woman both vulnerable and audacious, mocked and celebrated, crushed and defiant. By the final episode, the emotional payoff arrives. The tone shifts in a surprising but welcome way. Episode 6 stands apart for its sensitivity and sincerity, pulling back from the wild surrealism to reveal something more raw and heartfelt. It's a poignant conclusion that touches on universal themes: the conflict between parent and child, between control and freedom, between what others expect from us and what we expect from ourselves. Visually, the series is rich and electric. Red is the dominant colour, evoking passion, danger, and spectacle. Some of the musical performances and concert scenes are hypnotic and immersive. The costume and production design is another highlight -- every wig, outfit and glitter-drenched backdrop contributes to the show's heightened, theatrical feel. The lead actors are deeply committed to the material and look the part, fully inhabiting the hyperreal world the creators have conjured. Ultimately, it was the finale that elevated my appreciation for Superstar. Around the end of Episode 5 and especially throughout Episode 6, I started to connect emotionally with the show in a way I hadn't expected. Underneath the satire, absurdity and flamboyant camp is a sincere story about a woman striving to define herself in a world that wanted to mock and diminish her. The push-and-pull between Tamara and her mother -- between personal ambition and familial pressure -- gives the show its emotional weight. Superstar may not be a traditional biopic, but it captures the imagination and wild energy required to survive and thrive in the spectacle of showbiz.

Don't miss Netflix's chart-topping love letter to K-pop
Netflix recently released the animated musical fantasy film KPop Demon Hunters, which was met by an overwhelmingly positive response by viewers worldwide. KPop Demon Hunters follows Huntr/x, a K-pop girl group composed of three talented performers -- Rumi, Zoey and Mira -- hiding a secret (when they're not performing onstage for fans, they're ruthlessly hunting soul-stealing demons). However, the girls meet a roadblock when demon ruler Gwi-ma grows frustrated at his subjects' failures. With the help of one of his most tortured demons, Jinu, they create Saja Boys: a K-pop boy group to rival Huntr/x, consisting of Jinu and four other demons, in an attempt to steal Huntr/x's fans and their souls. Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the studio that animated Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse and Wish Dragon, KPop Demon Hunters is a love letter to the world of K-pop and draws inspiration from the Korean entertainment industry and idol groups. For example, Huntr/x is modelled after girl groups such as Itzy, Blackpink and Twice. Meanwhile, Saja Boys are modelled after boy groups like Tomorrow X Together, BTS, Stray Kids, Ateez, Big Bang and Monsta X. The series also pays homage to South Korean culture, featuring traditional clothing and objects as well as loveable animals, illustrated in the style of Korean folk art. The film has been well-received, not only for of its stunning animation and characters, but also because of its soundtrack, which debuted at No.8 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States, making it a hit with both K-pop fans as well as locals.
