Variety Treat! Kang Ha Neul Sky Dives, Eats Happily in Argentina

It’ll make you hungry, be forewarned.

I stumbled upon this treat – actor Kang Ha Neul globetrotting with Ahn Jae Hong and Ong Seong Wu on JTBC’s Traveler. They traversed Argentina – yes, back when traveling was a leisurely activity free of a frightening pandemic.

They eat pizza! They drink beer! They go skydiving! They dance the tango!

They eat some more! They hike the Patagonia Glaciers! Ahn Jae Hong buys a funky but confusing wine stand thing! They eat Korean food in Argentina and look like they’re about to pass out with happiness.

Ah, the bromance.

The joy of travel over a beautiful meal and refreshing glass of cerveza.

Though nothing could have prepared me for the wanderlust that washed over me when watching each of the trio take on that thing which I have long missed: the hotel breakfast buffet.

We may not be able to travel with such abandon now, but here’s a trip you can take safely from your own home.

Salud!

But perhaps my favorite clip is from that thing of pandemic dreams, the hotel breakfast buffet. Sigh.

Forgotten, the feature film starring Kang Ha Neul, is now on Netflix.

My review. As a vlog! A new thing I’m doing.

Korean Films Now Streaming: “Socialphobia,” “New Trial,” and “One Way Trip” [August 2017]

The latest Korean films streaming. Enjoy.

Socialphobia (2015)

“Socialphobia” is a gritty indie film starring Byun Yo Han (who blew up – along with the rest of the cast – in Misaeng), Ryu Jun Yeol (from Lucky Romance, Reply 1988), and Lee Joo Seung (The Producers, Let’s Eat 2). Find it on DramaFever.

New Trial (2017)

Because Dongju: Portrait Of A Poet left us all wanting more. Or at least have something with KHN to hold us over until his other movie finally hits US soil. “New Trial” stars Jung Woo and Kang Ha Neul, along with Lee Dong Hwi (Reply 1988, Entourage). Now on Viki.

One Way Trip (2016)

Dark coming-of-age tale appropriately told with some of kdrama’s already familiar up-and-comers.  Ryu Jun Yeol, Ji Soo, Suho, Kim Hee Chan. Because we’re still upset from seeing Ji Soo get rejected not once, twice, or thrice, but a fourth time. Probably even more. DramaFever’s got it.

Honorable Mention: Bleak Night, quite possibly my favorite indie flick, is now on DramaFever. You’re welcome.
