My wife and I are Taeyeon bias, but I actually think Yuri is just as good of an actress as Yoona. With that said, it's crazy to think how many shows and movies Yoona is a part of year after year with many of them being really good releases as of late. Undeniable that she is one of SK's biggest actresses right now. I think she just needs that one movie that winds up becoming a modern classic to cement her status as one of the best of the current and prior decade.

I watched the sequel and thought it was better in all ways than the original movie. Everyone seemed to have more character moments in it so I genuinely loved that. CG was wonky as hell at some points which was a bit off-putting (I think the prior movie was a bit more minimal in terms of CG and over-the-top action if I am recalling correctly). Yoona's moments were definitely amongst many of the highlights in the film.

It's tempting to order Confidential Ass-signment 2 on eBay, but I'll have to wait and see about a release elsewhere with that price

i whole heartedly agree! she just needs that one big leading role to rellay cement her acting legacy. ive gotten in on the pre-order for KING THE LAND as well, so i cant wait for that!

Quick question for anyone here familiar with the "Man From Nowhere" original #10 first pressing.

I recently opened this up for the first time and it looked like I had an "autographed" card..? It could just be my eyes messing with me, but the message does look like it was made with a marker and not printed.

Attached for reference.

That's worth a million dollars on eBay.

At least a million won.

Going to ask my Korean neighbor to help me translate it. I was mostly curious if anyone here has something similar? Will also ask my wife to see if it is in-fact hand-written.

"2010 was a happy year. Crews and actors were loved much. We will write them in heart and do diligently in the beginning of 2011.

"Uncle" Jung Bum"

I am guessing this is from Lee Jeong-beom. Wow - add this to another rare thing I didn't know I had. Still curious if anyone else has anything like this with their copy.

I have the same first print edition with postcards and have the same exact note. I’m no expert but it looks exactly like yours. I can provide pics later if you like. Still very cool find but wanted to chime in as a fellow owner. Thanks

Okay... whew. Maybe my eyes are just going crazy and it looks hand-written. I admit that despite my good vision, these things can be hard for some reason.

Yeah, I have the exact same note too. I'll have to check if it's handwritten or printed though, but I do vaguely remember it looking like handwritten.

[Last Lizard]

I have this as well I'm guessing they're printed since a friend had the exact same as mine.

Anybody else disappointed with the glossy, shiny slipcase and digipak on Confidential Assignment: International? The matte ones looked much classier. I know I shouldn't crib as we finally got a new one and I'm glad we did, of course, but I just had to get this off my chest.

Yes, I agree. Looks nice but I prefer matte as well.

I'm hoping we get another release in the next couple months.

I actually think it looks great... I am pretty happy with the packaging as a whole!

+1

I completely agree with you. Not a fan of the new glossy case.

[ashik786]

Any news on the upcoming 4K release of Memories of Murder? Will it be the new greenish restored version, like Criterion?

Bong Joon Ho's 2009 film Mother (Black & White Version)—Standard edition now available for pre order @Yukipalo

however I still find it puzzling why are these only available from yukipalo
did they sign any special exclusive agreement?

YesAsia is usually always late at listing reprints, so I wouldn't take that into consideration
however Kimchi and Nova, for example, list pre-orders well in advance
this time...nada

Hi. Can you confirm if this newer edition of The Admiral is the same disc as before with the 7.1 track. Both here and on the shop they mention a 5.1, so I’m wondering if it is a typo or they did a new encode for this edition. Been looking for this movie with the 7.1 for so long. Thank you.

I got this today and agree, the matte was nicer but new design is still ok. The benefit now is that you can actually slide the cases out of the slip more easily. The older ones are really jammed in there.

One thing I noticed as well was that the ratings logos stand out a lot more now to the point I actually notice them. Previously they were just little circles tucked away, now they're big noticeable numbers. I had to actually check the old ones just to see if they were there because I never remembered seeing them, and they are unobtrusively coloured to match the colours of the slip. A little bit annoying the new design is. It's not too bad on Battleship Island, on this though, it's a bright orange colour on a white background.
