Disney+ K-drama The Nice Guy: Lee Dong-wook tries to go straight in gangland drama

Lead cast: Lee Dong-wook, Lee Sung-kyung, Park Hoon Latest Nielsen rating: 3.23 per cent A few months after appearing as the head of an insurance team in The Divorce Insurance Lee Dong-wook returns to screens in more familiar territory as a reluctant and lovable gangster trying to keep his dysfunctional family together and reconnect with his first love.

Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy movie review – Korean fantasy is glossy but uninspired

2/5 stars Based on a hit Korean webtoon, director Kim Byung-woo's ambitious science fiction fantasy Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy stars Ahn Hyo-seop as a reclusive loner who discovers that his favourite online novel has become a reality. Lee Min-ho and Chae Soo-bin also appear, as do K-pop starlets Nana and Blackpink's Jisoo, but they all take a back seat to the film's polished, if generic, spectacle. It is impossible to conceive that a feature film like this would exist without the success of Train to Busan and Squid Game Play Both of these international hits opened the floodgates for high-concept genre fare within South Korea's risk-averse industry, and audiences have been inundated ever since, with their influence and aesthetic visible in every frame.
