Ryu Joon-yeol (The 8 Show) and Shin Hyun-bin (Tell Me That You Love Me) have been cast in Netflix’s new thriller movie Revelations, the latest collaboration between filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho (Parasyte: The Gray) and writer Choi Gyu-seok (Hellbound). Yeon and Choi also worked together to create the original webtoon in 2022 and – very interestingly – this new film version will also have filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Roma) as the executive producer.

It’s a picture gallery today with new stills are out for U+ Mobile TV’s No Way Out: The Roulette, showcasing our cop hero Jo Jin-woong (The Good Bad Mother), who’s been tasked with protecting the targeted felon Yoo Jae-myung (Uncle Samsik). Amid a talented ensemble cast including Yeom Jung-ah (Cleaning Up), Kim Mu-yeol (Sweet Home 2), and Taiwanese actor Greg Hsu (Someday or One Day), the mystery-thriller will be launching on July 31 next month.

SBS’s Good Partner puts the spotlight on a calculating Jang Nara (My Happy Ending) in new character stills, ready to fight tooth-and-nail for her clients on the war grounds of divorce. Also starring Nam Ji-hyun (High Cookie), Kim Joon-han (Anna), and Pyo Ji-hoon (Mouse), the legal drama will be coming to our screens on July 12 in the weekend slot. [News]

The promos continue on MBC’s I Don’t Like Donkatsu, with village chief Jung Sang-hoon (Twinkling Watermelon) commiserating his shared fate with neighborhood dog Casanova in the newest teaser. Slated to premiere on July 5, the short comedy will be capping at 2 episodes with PD Kim Young-jae at the helm and writing by Noh Ye-ri. [MBC]
It’s been busy on the tvN front as well, with the hunt for corporate rats getting fierce in the new stills and video teaser for The Auditors. Starring Shin Ha-kyun (Evilive) and Lee Jung-ha (Moving), along with Jin Gu (Shadow Detective), Jo Ah-ram (Doctor Cha), and Jung Moon-sung (Divorce Attorney Shin), the office-comedy unfolds on July 6.

1. Yeon Sang-ho is one film maker I'm always intrigued by his pieces but always fail to watch them.

I read about this on Asianwiki as and usual, the plot is very interesting and engaging. Plus the production is in capable hands.

4. 2 weeks is upon us soon.

5. Besides the allure of Shin Ha-kyun and Jin Gu's lush hair, I'm very excited to see Jung Moon-sung.

The more I see of I Don’t Like Donkatsu, the less I want to watch it. (By the way, that video link doesn't work, at least in the US.)

The more I see of The Auditors, the more excited I get. And what would an accounting drama be without a scene in a sketchy abandoned warehouse? It looks as dude-heavy as Numbers, though - hope there's a little more balance and more developed female characters than that show had.

Oh, it's a pity the link doesn't work for you. It is a very cute dog... I admit I could have tried to watch the teaser for the plot... But what can I say? There was a very cute dog and lots of puppies and then I couldn't see anything else.

It works here in Europe.

Do you know if there's supposed to be any romance in The Auditors?

There's been no hint of it in the promos, although it wouldn't be surprising if the show shoves in a where-did-that-come-from? loveline between coworkers. I mean, somebody has to fall in love under a shower of falling books/boxes in the corporate library, right?

The Donkatsu doggie video link works now. Still nope. Even more nope. 😂

Oh, c'mon. You're not worried about your manliness/sperm/jokes about your testicles? Why not, lady?

Does a deep, abiding affection for adding, and sometimes subtracting, numbers count???

I recently saw both Alienoid films at a FF and I just loved the whole fun and bonkers lot. Kim Woobin was so so good. You just have to take my word for it. And, Kim Taeri and Ryu Joonyeol were pretty wonderful too as were 2 supporting characters where were a riot as anthropomorphic cats: Shin Jungkeun as
WooWang and Lee Sihun as Jwawang. They were cats who helped Ryu Joonyeol’s hilarious dodgy mage.

I love the Alienoid films and both were lotsa fun! Those cats were bonkers and the reveal about their real identity made a whole lot of sense why they were the way they were 😁

I’m so glad you liked them too! They were such fun films and the cats were a delight and a half.

There's a new show with Chae Jong Hyop, Serendipity or something like that, that's releasing soon acc to TvN but I can't figure where or when it's dropping. I hope it'll be somewhere I can watch it! Any news on that?

Serendipity's Embrace was going by the titles Is It a Coincidence? or Is It Fate? until a couple of days ago. It was filmed back in 2022 and TvN has had it sitting on a shelf since then, which often doesn't bode well for a show's quality. Still no information about where else it might become available. The cast looks good, though.
