BONG Joon-ho's "The Host" (2006) still holds the title of top grossing film of all time at the Korean box office. Its sequel and expectant box office successor, "The Host 2" is still in the development stage yet already generating a lot of buzz. Announcements from Chungeoram Film, producer of both films, reveal that the sequel will actually be a prequel, set in 2003, and is to feature multiple monsters.

Writer Kang Do-yoon, a popular Internet cartoonist known by his pen-name Kang-full (Kang Doo), is said to have completed the screenplay for the blockbuster project which plans to go into production this summer. While a new director and cast have yet to be announced, the 'prequel' will this time feature monsters appearing from the Cheonggyecheon, a newly developed stream and leisure area running through central Seoul.

The new drama by Director Hwang In-Roi, "The Palace II" ("Princess Hours 2")got itself a new name: "The Palace S" ("Prince Hours").

The new drama does not only boast an explosive cast (Se7en, Heo I-Jae, Kang Doo, and Park Sin-Hye); it...| More
