[HanCinema's Film Review] "Invasion of Alien Bikini": This Sexy Alien wants your Seed! 2012/03/24, Oh Young-Doo's "Invasion of Alien Bikini" made its Korean premier at the 15th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival, fitting nicely into the programs mesh of strange and bizarre films from around Asian.

Thus starts the battle between ByungGu, who's trying to uncover a secret alien plot to destroy the earth, and CEO Kang, who thinks ByungGu is nuts and is trying desperately to escape from him. Only four hours remain until the total lunar eclipse. When the eclipse is over, time will run out for planet earth. Can ByungGu single-handedly save the planet?
