  • Netflix Introduces Six New K-Romance Series to Make Your Heart Beat Faster

    Netflix Introduces Six New K-Romance Series to Make Your Heart Beat Faster

    If you have been swept off your feet by the unconventional love story in Crash Landing on You, or melted at the first stirrings of connection in Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Business Proposal, then brace yourselves for a heartbeat-skipping announcement.

    Audiences worldwide have been growing fonder of K-Romance, and this affection shows no signs of fading. Between 2018 and 2022, global viewership of Netflix’s K-Romance titles tripled. In 2022 alone, more than 90 percent of this viewing came from outside South Korea.

    We’re moved by the affection, and we’re eager to return it in kind. As the home for compelling K-Romance, Netflix will be introducing six new Korean romance series over the upcoming five months.

    For decades, this genre has captivated audiences in Korea and throughout Asia, a testament to the storytelling prowess and production expertise of gifted Korean content creators, observes Don Kang, Vice President of Content (Korea). “We’re genuinely humbled by how our emotive Korean shows have found a home in the hearts of global audiences through Netflix, stretching from the U.S., Europe, South America, and beyond. Our stories touch on the universal aspects of life – love, heartbreak, and tenderness, while also providing a peek into the unique facets of Korean culture. Netflix’s commitment to forging this profound global connection is something we’re truly excited about.”

    “Creators have dedicated themselves to painting the delicate dynamics and evolving emotions of our characters,” adds Wooyeon Yang, Director of Content (Korea). The crafting of the hallmark slow-burning intensity of K-romances, along with their wholesome appeal, shapes an undeniably “endearing genre that strikes a chord with global viewers”, she believes.

    Netflix’s investment in subtitling and dubbing has been instrumental in expanding the K-Romance audiences. “The impact has been more profound than we ever imagined,” shares Yang. “Despite the diversity of languages, the common thread of understanding and accessing Korean content seems to be a key strength that has set Netflix as a trendsetter.” Yang underscores the value of dubbing, noting that “listening to dialogues in their languages helps K-Romance resonate more deeply with viewers worldwide”.

    Continuing the world’s love for this genre, Netflix’s upcoming K-Romance shows will each have their distinct features. Here’s a sneak peek at what these new shows have to tell.

Jeon’s character travels back in time to 1998 and meets a man played by Ahn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to her late boyfriend. In fact, each lead takes on the challenge of playing two characters who look identical, but have completely different personalities — and all the complications that create when it comes to love.

    Chris Hemsworth and the film’s director, Sam Hargrave, have flown to Manila for the Asia Pacific premiere of EXTRACTION 2, an action thriller film set to premiere on June 16th. It was their first trip to Manila, and they were greeted cordially by the locals at the press conference and red carpet screening of their film, as well as by celebrities, journalists, and fans from the region.

    Just being here makes me happy. Chris thanked the crowd for their reception during the June 5 press conference. Sam was just as ecstatic to be back in the country, and he spoke highly of his follow-up film. Referring to the follow-up to one of Netflix’s most popular films, he exclaimed, “This is even bigger and larger and more exciting.”

    “I feel excited to be here. Thank you very much for the warm welcome,” Chris said during the media conference.

    Chris also described the craziest thing that he did for “Extraction 2,” which was to land a helicopter on a moving train.

    “We look at each other, and we say, how can we push each other to do something that we will be proud of 10 years from now and try to make it memorable for the fans?” Sam explained.

    “I certainly knew that Sam was going to recreate the action in a massive way and step it up a notch again. But what people won’t expect is the emotional journey and the relationships in the film,” Chris added.

    Hundreds of Hemsworth’s devoted followers were given the opportunity to see and some lucky fans were able to speak with the actor. The fact that the event was attended by celebrities from both domestic and foreign, contributed to the evening’s glitz and excitement.

    Chris portrays the role of Tyler Rake in the action movie “Extraction 2.” Tyler comes back as the Australian black operations mercenary after barely surviving the events of the first movie. This time, he is assigned another dangerous assignment, which is to rescue the wounded family of a brutal Georgian mobster from the prison where they are being imprisoned.

    Joe Russo, who produced the movie with his brother Anthony, is also back to pen the script for the much awaited sequel. It is based on the Ande Parks, the Russo brothers, Fernando Leon Gonzalez, and Eric Skillman comic novel “Ciudad.”

    “After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held.”

    You can check out the trailer here:

Rake, of course, was assumed dead at the conclusion of the first movie, but the door was left just slightly open so that he could return.

    Courtesy of Netflix

    The Night Agent, based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, is “a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low-level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.”

    Shawn Ryan, the creator and showrunner of The Night Agent, released the following statement: “The last week has been a whirlwind as we’ve finally been able to share The Night Agent with the world. It’s been incredibly rewarding to witness the show’s positive reception from viewers, and it’s a testament to the hard work of everyone involved, from the cast and crew to Sony Pictures Television and Netflix. Netflix’s Vice President of Drama Series, Jinny Howe, said, “We’re proud to see The Night Agent deliver a blockbuster performance and become instantaneously welcomed throughout the world.” The reception has been so positive that the production team is eager to get started on Season 2. With a superb cast including Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, and Hong Chau, Shawn Ryan’s spy thriller has become a phenomenon, and we’re here to give fans more of the action and intrigue they love.

    If you haven’t seen the spy thriller, you may get a feel for what it’s about by watching the extended trailer below.

    Netflix has unveiled the first clip and official poster for the upcoming comedy sequel Murder Mystery 2, which stars Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. Originally released in 2019, the film was a huge success.

    In the Murder Mystery 2 trailer, we get a glimpse of Nick and Audrey as they arrive on a beautiful island paradise. They were welcomed by Maharajah, who was portrayed by Adeel Akhtar, and Claudette, who was portrayed by Mélanie Laurent.

    According to an official synopsis, the film is set four years after the first and follows Nick and Audrey, who “are now full-time detectives struggling to get their private-eye agency off the ground when they’re invited to celebrate the wedding of their friend the Maharaja on his private island.”

    “But trouble follows the Spitzes again when the groom is kidnapped for ransom soon after the festivities begin — making each glamorous guest, family member and the bride herself a suspect,” the synopsis continues.

    It concludes, “Murder Mystery 2” sends Nick and Audrey Spitz on a high-stakes case that finally gives them everything they’ve ever dreamed of: a shot at their detective agency finally becoming successful … and their long-awaited trip to Paris.”

    The highly anticipated action-packed sequel will debut on March 31st only on Netflix.

  • Netflix releases teaser poster for Black Knight

    Netflix releases teaser poster for Black Knight

    Black Knight is an exciting sci-fi K-drama series that will premiere on Netflix in the second quarter of 2023. Black Knight, which is based in a dystopian future, has all the makings of being another South Korean smash hit on Netflix.

    The webtoon ‘Delivery Knight,’ created by Lee Yoon Kyun, will serve as the inspiration for the next South Korean original series that will be distributed by Netflix. Cho Ui Seok, who is most known for his work as a screenwriter and director on Cold Eyes and Master, is in charge of directing the series.

    By the year 2071, barely 1% of the world’s population has made it through the ravages caused by the deadly air pollution that has spread throughout the earth. Because of the severe air pollution, those who have survived have been forced into a strict social class and are required to wear oexygen masks whenever they leave their homes. This society has been reorganized. The citizens rely on the Knights, who are a group of specially trained delivery drivers, to provide for their needs and to defend them from potential criminals.

    When the first-look still of Kim Woo-bin portraying the legendary deliveryman ‘5-8’ was released in January, it sparked a wave of excitement among fans. In “a world without air”, the deliverymen, also known as the black knights, deliver oxygen and necessities to the 1% of the population who lived through the extreme desertification.

    The first teaser poster for Black Knight offers a glimpse into the series’s setting, a world completely engulfed in sand. A used oxygen mask lies discarded on a barren landscape, where the ruins of collapsed high-rise buildings loom in the distance with no signs of life. A figure resembling the legendary deliveryman 5-8 walks away from a massive truck, leaving viewers with a sense of intrigue for the story to unfold.

    The bar is set high, as all eyes are on the fantastic ensemble of seasoned actors. Kim Woo-bin plays the legendary deliveryman, a.k.a ‘5-8’, Song Seung-heon as the only heir to the powerful Cheonmyeong Group, Kang You-seok as a boy who dreams of becoming a deliveryman and Esom as the Defense Intelligence Command major. These characters bring depth and complexity to the narrative, each with unique perspectives and motivations.
