When the 98th annual Oscars arrives next year, it will come with the addition of one long-desired new category: an Academy Award for Achievement in Casting. Two years later, the 100th annual Oscars will include its own new category: Achievement in Stunt Design. After that? We’ve got a few ideas for some other additions.

Both the casting and stunt design awards arrive after years of campaigning from artisans, filmmakers, stars, and even the general public. Make a good enough case, it seems, and AMPAS just might grant you an Oscar statuette-sized wish. Still, it does take time: Before the casting award was announced, the ceremony had not added a new award since 2001, when the organization added Best Animated Feature Film.

Last week’s announcement of the new stunt design category inevitably got us wondering: What other categories should the Oscars add? From bringing back an old favorite, cribbing from other awards shows,...

The series aired on April 4, 2025, and has already garnered a lot of viewers, making it trending in different countries.

Park Bo-Young Smoking Scene (Photo Credit – Instagram)

South Korean actress Park Bo-Young’s recent drama Melo Movie has some scenes that sparked controversies among the viewers. Read on to know more.

In the newly released Netflix series Melo Movie, Park Bo-Young plays Kim Moo-Bi, an aspiring assistant director who transitioned into a director’s role. While the actress has returned to the rom-com era after a long time, she has shown a different side of herself while portraying Moo-Bi. One of the most talked-about scenes that has garnered much attention from the audience is where she can be seen smoking cigarettes.

Before this drama, Bo-Young has always played a good girl’s character, portraying her pure image. However, this time, her character’s arc has made her fans go crazy as they have seen her smoking on-screen. Recently, she opened up about her smoking scenes. Scroll ahead to read about...

Netflix’s Melo Movie is an easy-breezy romance. Part of the reason why the narrative is made to build up through the ten episodes is also the painstaking exploration of the motley of characters that populates the narrative. There are multiple strands of love, not just restricted to romantic union. We have platonic love between friends, siblings, and parental love which sometimes take the backseat in the pursuit of romantic love. Melo Movie is also a variation on the romantic subgenre of enemies to lovers. Through this guide, we familiarize ourselves with the main characters and the cast of Netflix’s Korean drama series.

Choi Woo-shik as Ko Gyeom

Choi Woo-shik’s international recognition comes from his role as the Kim family son in Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite. He also played significant roles in Yeon Sang-ho’s zombie horror Train to Busan and Bong Joon-ho’s benign-monster film Okja. To his filmography,...

Bong Joon-ho is one of the most idiosyncratic filmmakers of the modern era of cinema. The South Korean director has been working on films since the ’90s and has become a mainstay of the international scene over the years. That is, of course, thanks to his impeccable body of work, which showcases his remarkable consistency and ability to deliver wild shifts in tone and style. No two of his films are alike, but they share a DNA that could only be attributed to him – that is, the power of his very singular aesthetic.

After debuting with 2000’s Barking Dogs Never Bite, Bong broke into the industry proper with Memories of Murder in 2003. He followed that up with incredible fare like The Host (2006) and did some Hollywood movies to cement his promising career (Snowpiercer in 2013 and Okja in 2017). However, it was after he returned to fully Korean-language films that he really made his mark.

Melo Movie (2025) is a South Korean romantic series that delves into love, human connections, and life’s struggles. The story follows Gyeom, Mubee, Si-jun, and Ju-a as they navigate relationships and personal hardships. Mubee has long closed her heart to love—until she meets Gyeom. Always cheerful and adored by everyone, Gyeom hides his own silent battles, but Mubee is the only one who sees through his facade. Meanwhile, Si-jun, an aspiring musician, has yet to catch his big break. For seven years, he was in a relationship with Ju-a, but on their anniversary, she unexpectedly ends things. Years later, fate reunites them on a film project, stirring unresolved emotions and complicating their paths once again.

This article contains spoilers.

Melo Movie (2025) Episode 1 “It Will Become Scenic When the Dawn Comes” Recap:

The series begins with Ko Gyeom’s childhood, where his love for films shapes his only dream: to watch every movie ever made.

Occasionally a K-drama will come along that feels like a warm hug from someone who understands your every emotion. It’ll be super relatable and unbearably adorable, and when the character heals from everything they’ve been through, whether it be grieving a death, loss of a job, or plain self-hatred, you feel like you’ve healed whatever was broken inside of you too. These dramas are usually about the simple things; they’re never too complicated, and the moral is straight-up fed to you on your favorite platter of sunshine, snow, and romance. Melo Movie fits perfectly into this sub-genre of slice-of-life TV shows, but my one big gripe with it is that it is a tad too long. The show follows Gyeom, a young man who has been so obsessed with movies since he was a kid that he wants to now work in movies. On the other hand is Mubee,...

Here’s A Look At Sbs’ K-Drama Lineup For 2025 ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Sbs is definitely keeping its reputation as the No. 1 Drama Channel after recording an average household rating of 9.3% and maintaining its position in the first spot for consecutive 5 years, according to Nielson Korea’s analysis based on the major 2024 drama.

Park Bo-Young, Kim Hee-Won (Photo Credit – Instagram/YouTube)

In a recent interview, Park Bo-Young talked about her dating rumors with actor-director Kim Hee-Won.

Popular South Korean actress Park Bo-Young allegedly got involved in a dating rumor with actor-director Kim Hee-Won five years ago. The7is had affected not only their friendship but all their extended working profile. In 2020, an online Korean community spotted them together enjoying some time at a cafe, which fueled the dating speculations more.

The situation worsened, so the cafe owner had to step up to clarify the rumors. In an interview with a media outlet, the owner accepted his mistake and explained that he circulated the CCTV image to show off a little and shared those pictures without the celebs’ consent. He had further expressed his guilt and regret. In a recent conversation on ‘Fairy Jaehyung’s YouTube channel, Bo-Young talked about it after firmly denying those speculations back then.

Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho’s three animated feature films – “King of Pigs”, “The Fake”, and “Seoul Station” – were highly entertaining ones, loaded with plenty of social messages. The premise of his animated features usually explores non-traditional genres, less prevalent in the South Korean film industry. It would certainly remind us of the works of acclaimed Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho. But, unlike Bong’s movies, Yeon’s animated films aren’t as profound or subtle in their indictment of class structures or other timely themes.

With his first live-action movie Train to Busan (2016), director Yeon Sang-ho has ventured into a wholly entertaining premise of rapidly spreading zombie infection inside a high-speed Ktx train, while also clamorously shoving in sociopolitical messages. Yeon may not have achieved the mastery of Bong Joon-ho in mixing up the genres or in building intricate characters, although he makes up for that through his flawless technical skills...

Here’s All You Need To Know About Choi Woo-Shik & Park Bo-Young Starrer Melo Movie (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Netflix is bringing a fresh take on love this Valentine’s Day with Melo Movie, a romantic K-drama starring Parasite actor Choi Woo-shik and Strong Girl Bong-soon star Park Bo-young. The highly anticipated series will be released in February, and the streaming giant has also shared its release date with the fans.

Melo Movie was written by Lee Na Eun, who also wrote Our Beloved Summer, which starred Choi Woo-shik. Meanwhile, Oh Choong Hwan of the hit drama Start-Up will be helming the show. He is also known for other hits, including Hotel Del Luna, My Love From The Star, Big Mouth, While You Were Sleeping, and more.

Melo Movie K-Drama Release Date, Plot, And Cast

Netflix recently announced the release date of Melo Movie. The drama will consist of 10 episodes and begin airing on February 14th.

When you "accidentally fall into a career," it generally starts with a purposeful position of applying for or accepting a job that you wouldn't realize would become a long-term commitment. But in Lee Tang's case, his career in vigilantism truly is an accident, as he only ever finds out he is murdering serial killers or psychopaths after the fact. The premise of A Killer Paradox might make you think that the will meander into morality questions of whether murder is ever justified. While Netflix's K-drama does so to some extent, the series actually excels in its absurdity, leaving our jaws hanging with each twist.

Reel Romance

Netflix is betting on love this Valentine’s Day with “Melo Movie,” a romantic drama series that pairs “Parasite” actor Choi Woo-shik with “Strong Girl Bong-soon” star Park Bo-young. The series drops globally Feb. 14.

The story follows a film critic (Choi) who reunites with an aspiring director (Park) years after a mysterious incident drove them apart. The supporting cast includes “Mask Girl” actor Lee Jun-young and “Parasyte: The Grey” star Jeon So-nee as another pair navigating the choppy waters of love and career ambitions.

Behind the camera, “Hotel del Luna” helmer Oh Choong-hwan directs from a script by “Our Beloved Summer” scribe Lee Na-eun. The creative team aims to blend romance with coming-of-age themes.

The project marks another high-profile Korean original for Netflix as the streamer continues to expand its K-drama slate following recent hits like “A Killer Paradox” and “Daily Dose of Sunshine,” which both starred members of the “Melo Movie” ensemble.

Bong Joon-ho's Parasite is a darkly funny movie that critics, audiences, and the director himself have spent ample time attempting to explain and unravel. Despite only coming out less than ten years ago, Parasite has already made a name for itself not just as one of Bong Joon-ho's best movies, but one of the best movies of the 21st century. It was included as number 90 in the 2022 Sight and Sound poll of the greatest movies of all time, and it went four for six at the 92nd Academy Awards, winning Best Picture and Best Director.

Almost a full-on comedy at some points, Parasite effortlessly blends humor and horror for a movie that feels incredibly real and honest. It's an accurate reflection of life, particularly a certain kind of life, with all its pain, fear, and occasional bursts of happiness. The film centers on two families: the wealthy Parks and the desperately poor Kim family.

There's nothing better than hunkering down and watching incredible feel-good and lighthearted K-dramas that are filled with uplifting messages. While intense and dramatic K-dramas are extremely popular, feel-good K-dramas can the hearts of audiences and provide a much-needed break from twists and turns. The best feel-good dramas aren't just entertainment, they can also serve as a source of joy and comfort. This includes classic love stories like What's Wrong With Secretary Kim but also intense shows like It's Okay To Not Be Okay.

Ranging from beautiful romantic comedies to hilarious and fantastical period K-dramas, audiences can sink into lighthearted K-dramas which are ensured to lift moods and provide a joyful and stress-free experience. Whenever life gets too hectic and TV shows are too bleak, watching a low-stakes K-drama can always provide the perfect escape from reality into a world filled with humor and joy.
