Production on the sixth and final season of the hit Netflix series Cobra Kai, a continuation of the Karate Kid film franchise, was delayed several months due to the writers and actors strikes last year – but the extended wait was worth it, because the show is wrapping up with a 15 episode season (previous seasons consisted of 10 episodes) that has been split up to make it a three part event. The first batch of episodes dropped back in July, and the second batch of episodes are set to begin streaming on November 15th. With that date right around the corner, a trailer for Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2 has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above!

Created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, Cobra Kai started out thirty four years after events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, when a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence sought redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai dojo,...

The first five episodes of the anticipated sixth season debuted on the streamer on July 18, immediately claiming the crown with tons of viewers returning for more martial arts drama.

The screening kicked off with an introduction from Executive Producers, Writers, and Directors Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, who announced that fans will be getting Part 2 of the final season even sooner when it premieres two weeks earlier globally on Netflix on November 15, 2024.

The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Prepare yourselves for Netflix‘s Cobra Kai Season 6 trailer, which teases the events of one of the most anticipated finales in Netflix history. With Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, our senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai — the world karate championships. The task finds friends and enemies coming together for a common goal while teen angst, wavering loyalty, and the fate of the Valley hangs in the balance.

In Netflix’s Cobra Kai Season 6 trailer, Daniel and Johnny continue to sort out their differences as they struggle to balance their martial arts styles.

The number of actors the Netflix TV series Cobra Kai has brought back to reprise their characters from the Karate Kid films has been very impressive. Not only do you have Ralph Macchio and William Zabka back as Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence, but there’s also Martin Kove and Thomas Ian Griffith as villains John Kreese and Terry Silver, Yuji Okumoto and Sean Kanan as villains-turned-allies Chozen Toguchi and Mike Barnes; Ron Thomas, Rob Garrison, and Tony O’Dell as Johnny’s former Cobra Kai buddies; and appearances by Elisabeth Shue as Ali Mills, Tamlyn Tomita as Kumiko, and Robyn Lively as Jessica Andrews. They even brought Traci Toguchi back as Yuna, the “Girl Bell Ringer” she played in The Karate Kid Part II.

Rumor has it that Netflix was originally planning to release the sixth and final season of their hit series Cobra Kai, a continuation of the Karate Kid film franchise, this month. The cast and crew were heading into production back in May (Netflix even released some table read footage) – but then the writers strike hit, causing filming to shut down. Then came the actors strike, which made sure it stayed shut down a while longer. But both of those strikes are now over, and cast member Courtney Henggeler has revealed that Cobra Kai season 6 is finally going to start filming / resume production next month!

The folks at Screen Rant took the opportunity to ask Henggeler about Cobra Kai when they crossed paths with her at a red carpet event. When they asked for info on what fans can expect from the new season, Henggeler answered, “I wish I knew. I...

In Cormac McCarthy’s 2022 novel The Passenger, a character muses that, when a nuclear bomb set the sky above Hiroshima on fire, those who survived the blast didn’t immediately connect what had happened to the war, but rather assumed that the world had ended. The destruction we see in Um Tae-hwa’s Concrete Utopia feels similarly apocalyptic: When an earthquake rips through the heart of Seoul, the streets split open and buildings crumble, largely reducing the entire city to rubble in a matter of seconds. From this moment on, we never find out what’s happening outside of the city, with the film effectively keying us to the perspectives of a community of survivors for whom the world is essentially their immediate vicinity.

In the midst of all this destruction, Imperial Palace Apartments is the only building in Seoul left standing. To help them survive their grim new reality,...

Exclusive: Concrete Utopia, South Korea’s International Film Oscar entry this year, will hit theaters in NY and LA on Dec. 8 with a wide release on Dec. 15. In the U.S, 815 Pictures and Seismic Releasing are releasing the Lotte Entertainment feature.

The movie opened in South Korea on Aug 9 and minted over $27M there, and close to $29M overall including Hong Kong and Vietnam.

The Um Tae-hwa directed disaster epic centers around a massive earthquake in Seoul. Everything in the city has collapsed, except for one building. Hwang Gung Apartments remains standing, as it was before that day. When survivors from the outside hear of this, they begin to gather at Hwang Gung Apartments. However, the original residents of the building start to feel threatened. Banding together for the sake of their survival, they elect ‘Young-tak’ as their Resident Delegate. Under his leadership, they strictly ban entry by outsiders...

In Netflix's latest K-drama "King the Land," 2Pm's Junho stars as Gu Won, the spoiled heir to the luxurious King Hotel who, due to a revolving door of sycophantic staff and superficial acquaintances in his life, has become weary of insincere smiles. Meanwhile, Girls Generation's Yoona stars as Sa-rang, a driven hotelier who has long aspired to ascend the ranks of King Hotel. Despite her sometimes fake smiles, Sa-rang's unwavering work ethic in the face of adversity grabs Gu Won's attention and gives him a new outlook on life.

When viewers aren't swooning over these iconic K-pop idols' onscreen chemistry, they're stewing over one of the show's biggest mysteries: who is Gu Won's mother?

Early on, the show establishes that Gu Won does not have the same mother as his older sister, Hwa-ran, and that she disappeared when he was very young. Ever since her disappearance, his questions about...

Even as the Netflix release of his long-ready “The Match” languishes thanks to his co-star Yoo Ah-in's controversy, Lee Byung-hun will return to the disaster movie genre with “Concrete Utopia”, a webtoon adaptation which also sees “Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned” director Uhm Tae-hwa return to filmmaking seven years after the release of the time travel drama.

Synopsis

The world has been reduced to rubble by a massive earthquake.

While no one knows for sure how far the ruins stretch, or what the cause of the earthquake may be, in the heart of Seoul there is only one apartment building left standing. It is called Hwang Gung Apartments.

As time passes, outsiders start coming in to Hwang Gung Apartments trying to escape the extreme cold. Before long, the apartment residents are unable to cope with the increasing numbers. Feeling a threat to their very survival, the residents enact a special measure.

Following the success of “Communication and Lies”, director Lee Seung-won spent two years crafting his follow-up effort about a neurotic family coming together for a murderous birthday party. After a successful theatrical and festival run that netted the film massive critical acclaim and numerous awards, the movie arrives free to stream on the ad-supported service Tubi TV in the United States.

“Happy Bus Day” is available from Echelon Studios

Coming together for a family dinner, Ki-tae (Lee Jae-in) and his wife Sun-young (Kim Sun-young) arrive at his mother's (Seo Gap-suk) house for a birthday dinner for their youngest son Seung-hwan (Kum Sung-min). Joining them are his brother Sung-il (Lee Joo-won) and his girlfriend (Jang Sun) as well as intersex brother Sang-hoon (Park Ji-hong) and youngest sister Ah-hyun (Kim Ae-jin), who quickly learn that they're to participate in the killing of a family member who's become a burden to the rest of the group.

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker in for Scott Thompson on Wbgr-fm on February 23rd, 2023, reviewing “Return to Seoul,” a meditation on an adoptee and identity. In select theaters beginning February 24th.

Rating: 5.0/5.0

Frederique “Freddie” Benoit (Ji-min Park) was adopted from South Korea as a baby and has never traveled back there. When a switched flight and a quirk of fate intervenes, she lands in Seoul, South Korea, and gets information about her biological parents from the adoption agency that handled her transaction. She sees her bio father (Kwang-rok Oh) immediately, and can find no connection, but her mother refuses to see her. What follows is an eight year journey, in which she comes in and out of Seoul over the years, reaching for something she has a hard time grasping.

”Return to Seoul” is in select theaters (see local listings) beginning February 24th.

In Return to Seoul, director Davy Chou tells a moving story of fractured identity amidst a constantly changing world. It’s through the eyes of Freddie (Park Ji-Min), a 25-year-old French adoptee who, on a whim, decides to find her biological parents in South Korea. Despite not being fluent in the language and having nothing other than a photograph to aid in her search, Freddie’s journey takes an unexpected route leading her to change swiftly, reminding us life demands constant reinvention as means of survival.

Chou, who was inspired by the story of a real-life friend, creates a genre-defying film that expertly captures what it’s like to live i- between worlds without a sense of belonging to any. Sleekly shot and structured by Chou, and acted beautifully by Park, in her film debut, Return to Seoul premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and was eventually selected as Cambodia...

Crash Course in Romance is a South Korean series directed by Yoo Je-won. A funny series that comes to us from South Korea, starring Jeon Do-Yeon and Jung Kyung-ho.

Crash Course in Romance is a series that manages to combine romantic comedy with a more classic and physical comedy based in ingenious dialogue. Briefly, more comedy and crazy situations than in a normal romantic comedy.

Crash Course in Romance (2023)

As happens in Love To Hate You, Crash Course in Romance is a series that, if you like this kind of humor that borders the absurd, will entertain you.

A curious comedy that is also about capitalism and an ironic gaze that is quite entertaining. We loved it and have found it to be very funny, a great and fun way to spend this week just

before Valentine´s Day.

A happy, zestful series that is very amenable and that you...

Ka Sung-moon’s accomplished feature debut is a harsh reality-check that all decisions we make are thwart with potential problems when put to wider society. A tale of one woman’s struggle against all society throws her way, this is a journey that is at times humorous, tragic, angry and sad, though inhabits a world created by Kafka himself.

Dream Palace is screening at Busan International Film Festival

Hye-jung (Kim Sun-young) suffered the tragedy of her husband being killed in a factory fire while at work. With a number of people killed in the fire, relatives of the victims camp outside the company offices. Hye-young, though, whose husband is blamed by some for the fire, has reached a settlement with his former employer in the hope of starting a new life with her son, Dong-wook (Choi Min-yeong).

This new life takes the form of apartment complex Dream Palace, though buying...

Korean independent film sales agency, Indiestory is presenting four titles at Busan’s Acfm starting on Saturday. All were produced in 2022, and two of them “The Ripple” and “Dream Palace” are screening at the Busan International Film Festival.

“Dream Palace” depicts the lives of 2 people who move into a new apartment building, only to receive news that their new homes will be back on sale. Inspired by 2010 real estate crises, the film deals with the ordeals of losing a home yet extending compassion to one another. Featuring Kim Sunyoung and Lee Yoonji, “Dream Palace” is premiering at the Busan festival’s Panorama section.

Premiering in Biff’s Vision section is “The Ripple.” The film portrays the story of a middle-aged lady searching for traces of her dead granddaughter, who drowned in a reiver a year earlier. Thematically, the film addresses sadness, guilt about losing a loved one and different attempts at moving on.

Alicia Hannah-Kim’s latest role as the first female sensei in Netflix’s Cobra Kai may give observers the false impression that she’s an overnight success.

But before her likeness was wrapped around a building in the famed Los Angeles shopping mall The Grove, she was waiting tables, auditioning, and dreaming of one day being the representation she lacked growing up in her native Australia.

Hannah-Kim, who is of Korean descent, recalls her difficult journey climbing that Hollywood ladder which includes having to turn down stereotypical roles, rejection, and thoughts of giving up before she got the call for Cobra Kai.

“Being an ‘overnight success’ is such a charming concept and so wholly untrue in my case. I have endless respect and solidarity with actors who are out there self-taping and auditioning into what feels like oblivion because I have been in those trenches for years,” Hannah-Kim tells Deadline.

Arthouse distribution, streaming and production company Mubi has taken all rights for the U.K., Ireland, Italy, Turkey, India and Southeast Asia (excluding the Philippines and theatrical rights in Cambodia) for Davy Chou’s “Return to Seoul,” which plays in Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival. MK2 films is handling international sales.

Sony Pictures Classics recently picked up rights in North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.

The film centers on 25-year-old Freddie, who on an impulse to reconnect with her origins, returns to South Korea for the first time, where she was born before being adopted and raised in France. The headstrong young woman starts looking for her biological parents in a country she knows so little about, taking her life in new and unexpected directions.

The film stars Park Ji-Min, Oh Kwang-Rok, Guka Han, Kim Sun-Young, Yoann Zimmer and Louis-Do De Lencquesaing.

Moon So-ri has always been an actress whose projects are worth keeping an eye out for. While she rarely does solo leading lady parts these days, even her work within an ensemble cast rarely disappoints. It is, thus, with anticipation that her latest feature “Three Sisters” by director Lee Seung-won, on which she also acts as producer, was looked forward to.

Three Sisters screened at Osaka Asian Film Festival

As the title suggests, our central characters here are three sisters, each with their different lives yet each equally pitiable in those lives. The eldest, Hee-sook, is an always apologetic florist who can’t seem to tell anyone, not even her rebellious daughter Bo-mi, that she has been diagnosed with cancer. Middle sister Mi-yeon is a devout Catholic choirmaster who can’t get her children to follow the faith as well as she’d want them to, while also just finding...

Moon So-ri returns to the big screen and this time, she is bringing two on-screen sisters with her in Lee Seung-won’s drama “3 Sisters”.

Synopsis

A story that follows 3 sisters: oldest sister Hee-sook, middle sister Mi-yeon and youngest sister Mi-ok.

Oldest sister Hee-sook is a devoted housewife, who takes care of her husband and daughter. She has the type of personality where she does not express her feelings. One day, Hee-sook learns that she has cancer. Middle sister Mi-yeon wants a peaceful life with her husband, who is a professor. She works as church choirmaster. She experiences extreme turmoil when she witnesses her husband having an affair with a choir member. Youngest sister Mi-ok works as a playwright. She married a divorced man in a fit of anger. Now, she has a husband and a stepson.

These three sisters carry own their personal wounds. For their father’s birthday, they gather at his home.
