Time Travel is Dangerous centers around friends Ruth and Megan who run a vintage shop in Muswell Hill. When they stumble across a time machine, it occurs to them that stock is much cheaper if they ‘borrow’ from the past – well, it’s free. They don’t want to change history, or rob banks, they just want to find a nice Victorian lamp or an authentic 80s bum bag without getting sucked into the hellish time-space vortex that is “the Unreason”. The thing is, Time Travel Is Dangerous.

The movie stars Johnny Vegas, Jane Horrocks (Absolutely Fabulous), Sophie Thompson, Mark Heap, Brian Bovell, Tony Way, Guy Henry, Laura Aikman, Kiell Smith-Bynoe and is narrated by Stephen Fry.

Here at Love Horror we got a chance to quiz some of the creatives behind the brand new Sci-Fi comedy and run them through a set of quick fire questions.

2024 was a fun year for Korean dramas. But there were so many TV series that reeled me in that I ended up overlooking a lot of movies or they are still on my list because they are not yet available to the US audience.

Although Korean dramas are heavy with tropes and cliches, one thing is for certain: they tell a beautiful story of friendship and love. Known mostly for their love stories, Korean dramas examine love in a variety of different genres. There are love stories in fantasy settings, love stories in science fiction settings, and love stories in thrillers. It's hard not to find a good love story in K-dramas.

Throughout the years, Hyun Bin has shown his range as a leading man in romantic K-drama series and action films. Attention fell onto Hyun after his lead role in the romantic comedy series My Lovely Sam Soon, which established the actor as a charming romantic interest, a type of character he would become largely beloved for. Still, Hyun's skills aren't limited to romantic narratives. Action films like Confidential Assignment and The Negotiation present a different side of Hyun that is equally welcomed by fans.

Hyun's range as an actor isn't only praised by fans of his work, but by critics as well. Since beginning his career in 2004, Hyun has been nominated for numerous awards for some of his best work, including Secret Garden and the widely successful K-drama Crash Landing on You. For nearly two decades, Hyun has been consistently working and building upon his skills as an actor, with...

Warning: This article contains minor spoilers for Doctor Slump episode 1.

Netflix's new K-drama Doctor Slump follows the unique relationship between struggling doctors Nam Ha-neul and Yeo Jeong-woo. Ha-neul and Jeong-woo were once high school rivals and reunited in less-than-ideal circumstances. The show explores their past in high school and the challenges they face in the present.

Doctor Slump’s cast is led by Park Shin-hye and Park Hyun-sik, both of whom are playing struggling doctors who were once high school rivals in Netflix’s new K-drama. The Netflix Korean show follows Nam Ha-neul and Yeo Jeong-woo during high school and in the present day. Park Shin-hye and Park Hyun-sik play the lead characters in both timelines, with the medical K-drama going back and forth between past and present to show how their unique relationship came to be. After never seeing each other following their graduation, Ha-neul and Jeong-woo reunite in less-than-ideal circumstances.

K-dramas like Squid Game and Business Proposal have gained global popularity for their engaging stories and short episode length, making them easy to binge. However, some K-dramas, like Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol and Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo's, have faced criticism for their unsatisfying endings and lack of closure. The cancellation of Joseon Exorcist and negative reviews for A Piece of Your Mind and Memories of the Alhambra highlight the impact of audience backlash on the fate of K-dramas.

K-dramas have begun to see global appreciation for their compelling narratives and engaging stories, but some of those stories have ended far too soon. Dramas such as Squid Game, Business Proposal, and D.P. have reached international audiences and propelled the genre into the spotlight. Part of what make K-dramas so popular is their length. Most K-dramas are only 16 episodes long, making them easy to binge. K-drama writers...

From action-packed thrillers like “Squid Game” and “All of Us Are Dead” to romantic comedies like “Business Proposal” and “Crash Landing on You,” it seems the world can’t get enough of K-dramas these days. Netflix, for its part, has recently announced its plans to invest a whopping $2.5 billion in South Korean content over the next several years, so it looks like the K-drama craze won’t be dying anytime soon.

But with so many Korean TV shows already available on Netflix, it can feel overwhelming to sort through dozens—if not hundreds—of K-dramas on the platform and figure out which ones to watch. So here we’ve made the job much easier by curating the top K-dramas to stream on Netflix, in no particular order. To ensure that we’re providing you with the best recommendations, we’ve thoroughly vetted all of these series (which...

Is it time for South Korea’s TV drama series to move over and make way for Korean unscripted entertainment — namely game shows and reality shows?

While 2003 drama series “Jewel in the Palace,” or the more recent “Crash Landing on You,” “Memories of the Alhambra,” “Mr. Queen,” “Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce)” and “Descendants of the Sun” have for years successfully tugged at emotional heartstrings across Asia, the unscripted category has equally long been a staple of Korean domestic TV.

Korean variety shows have been a catch-all with multi-generational appeal. Talent contests have worked well in the home market, but often were too quirky — too much dialogue, or distracting titles flashing across the screen — which meant that they were best exported as formats rather than finished shows.

Examples of those include Mbc’s 2015 hit “King of Mask Singer,” which became “The Masked Singer” for Fox in the U.S. (and...

Leading Korean film and TV star Song Hye-kyo will head the cast of “The Glory,” an epic revenge drama series being produced for Netflix.

The series is a change of direction for Kim Eun-sook, a screenwriter billed as the queen of Korean romance.

The project is also a reunion of sorts for the pair. Six years ago, Song starred in the Kim-penned “Descendants of the Sun” a lush Kbs series about a war-time romance between an army surgeon and a special forces office that also played on Netflix.

In “The Glory” Song portrays a woman who is extracting revenge on a group of school bullies who destroyed her childhood and the bystanders who failed to prevent the trauma.

Song has been a mainstay of Korean TV dram series including “That Winter The Wind Blows” “Full House” and “Encounter,” as well as internationally-produced movies including Wong Kar-wai’s “The Grandmaster” and...

Korean screenwriter Kim Eun-sook and actress Song Hye-kyo, who last teamed on the wildly popular K-drama Descendants of the Sun, are pairing up again for revenge series The Glory, produced by Netflix. Rising star Lee Do-hyun, best known from Sweet Home, will also take a lead role in the new show.

Song plays Moon Dong-eun, a young woman who is seeking revenge on the bullies who destroyed her childhood. Taking on a very different character from her previous outings in hit dramas like We Are Breaking Up, Encounter and That Winter, the Wind Blows, Song portrays a rage-filled individual keen to inflict the ultimate comeuppance on those who tormented her — as well as those who didn’t lift a finger to help. Lee plays Joo Yeo-jeong, a man with a secret past. Better known for his performances in horror (Sweet Home) and romance (18 Again) projects,...

Korean actor Jung Woo-sung is to exec produce a mystery sci-fi thriller for Netflix.

The streaming service has ordered The Silent Sea (w/t) from the Innocent Witness and Steel Rain star.

The series is set in a precarious future where Earth is running out of water. It follows a group of elite scientists who set off for the moon to retrieve some unknown samples from an abandoned research station.

The drama is based on the eponymous 2014 short film directed by Choi Hang-yong, which garnered attention at the Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival. Choi will direct the series.

The Silent Sea will be written by Park Eun-kyo, who wrote Mother, the 2010 film directed by Parasite and Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-ho.

It is the latest Korean drama for Netflix, which has been incredibly active in the country. Last week, it partnered with Mr. Sunshine director Lee Eung-bok to adapt popular Korean horror...

Netflix is continuing to expand its originals drive in Korea by adding romantic comedy series Crash Landing On You to its slate.

The Svod service has ordered the series, starring popular local actors Hyun Bin (Memories of the Alhambra) and Son Ye-jin (Something in the Rain), to air later this year.

The series is described by the digital platform as if Dorothy met the Wizard of Oz by accident.

Crash Landing On You is a love story of an oddly-matched couple coming from very different backgrounds. Yoon Se-ri, played by Son Ye-jin, is a beautiful heiress and a leading fashion businesswoman in South Korea, who meets North Korean military officer Lee Jung-hyeok, played by Hyun Bin, when she is swept up by a wind storm and accidentally crashes in North Korean territory while paragliding.

Jung-hyeok’s life has been nothing but great so far and he has a bright future ahead of him.

Fans of K-drama in Singapore will soon have a new lineup from Netflix’s ensemble of Hallyu’s best content this summer and fall seasons.

“There’s just so much love for Korean content in this region, especially in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Netflix started adding Korean titles three years ago, and we’ve seen how that has attracted new audiences who are discovering the Netflix viewing experience for their k-drama viewing,” said Minyoung Kim, director of content, Korea, Netflix. “Fan favorites like Korean Odyssey, Something in the Rain, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim are all part of our growing library and today, we are pleased to be working with Korean talent and creators on the second season of original titles like Kingdom and My First First Love.”

Since 2018, Netflix’s library of Korean content includes popular romantic comedies like Romance Is My Bonus Book to thrillers like Memories of the Alhambra.

Global streaming giant Netflix has come on board “Arthdal Chronicles,” a Korean fantasy drama series. The show has a starry cast headed by Song Joong-ki, Jang Dong-gun (“Taegukgi”), Kim Ji-won (“Descendants of the Sun”) and Kim Ok-bin.

The show was produced by Studio Dragon for Korean broadcaster tvN. It airs from June 1 in Korea on the network. Netflix said it will launch it globally from “early June.”

“Arthdal Chronicles” tells multiple stories of tribal loyalty and power struggles in the mythical land of Arth, as it depicts the birth of civilization and nations in ancient times. It is directed by Kim Won-seok, and written by Kim Young-hyun and Park Sang-yeon, the two award-winning screenwriters of the popular Korean historical period dramas “Deep Rooted Tree” and “Queen Seondeok.”

Obtaining Korean language shows, either through acquisition or local production, has become a point of focus for Netflix. These have helped it surpass more than two millions subscriptions,...

Netflix is cranking out some top notch genre television from non-English speaking countries, and our podcast hosts pick some favorites.

We talk about a lot of shows on Sci Fi Fidelity and talk to a lot of people behind the scenes, but occasionally, we like to discuss a topic that is of interest to genre television viewers and is relevant to the trends of the day. We couldn't be happier that Netflix has chosen both to import great sci-fi from outside the U.S. and to co-produce much of the content themselves, allowing more great content to reach a wider audience than it would otherwise enjoy.

Our discussion topic typically covers six exemplary representatives, and this month we were happy to feature examples from six different countries. We were able to include series that paved the way for the others such as Brazil's dystopian 3% and Germany's time travel masterpiece Dark,...

South Korea’s largest wireless service provider Sk Telecom, together with The Seoul Broadcasting System (Sbs), Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (Mbc) and Korean Broadcasting System (Kbs) have teamed up and signed a memorandum of understanding to launch a local video streaming platform – Over The Top (Ott) – to compete with Us streaming mega-platforms like YouTube or Netflix.

When Netflix entered South Korea in 2016 it was considered only a small threat because of its lack of Korean contents. However last year the American giant invested something close to Us$8 billion in original country-specific content, giving space and funding to local talents and consequently reached almost a million users in September 2018. Products like Bong Joon-ho’s “Okja” and “Mr. Sunshine” have proved extremely successful, with “Mr. Sunshine” becaming the country’s highest-rated show of the year and probably more success is on the way with the next zombie period drama “Kingdom” and Europe-based series...
