Well this looks like it could be cute?
Our female lead Zhu Yun (Zhang Jing Yi) has her university life disrupted by the arrival of Li Xun (Chen Fei Yu), who looks like the epitome of a bad boy, but is actually a programming genius.
Cue bickering, hijinks, and eventual appreciation and romance.

This one looks like it could be pretty heavy, you guys.
The story is about Chen Xi (Tiffany Hsu) who was violated when she was in middle school. Now, as an adult, she is still haunted by that trauma.
I'm unlikely to check this one out unless I hear that it's amazing, but I did sit up with interest, because we just recently watched Tiffany Hsu in Autumn's Concerto, where she pl...

Fair warning that this one looks like it leans violent, but.. it does star Jung Hae In and Go Kyung Pyo? And, it's participating in the Busan International Film Festival, so it should be quite special?

Trigger warning that this one's about school violence.
Based on a very popular webtoon, our story is about Shi Eun (Park Ji Hoon), who's a model student, and who uses his smarts to fight against violence, because he's a weak fighter.

To be honest, the only reason I'm sitting up with interest, is because I spy Choi Hyun Wook in the t...
