Kim Hyun Joo Is Torn Between Hope And Unease When Her Missing Son Returns After 9 Years In “Paradise Lost”
Director Yeon Sang Ho’s new film “Paradise Lost” has unveiled new stills of Kim Hyun Joo in character!
“Paradise Lost” is a thriller that follows Sun Woo (Bae Hyeon Seong), a son who returns home after being missing for nine years. While he was gone, his mother So Young (Kim Hyun Joo) had been soothing her pain by interacting with a childhood version of her son through an artificial intelligence (AI) program. However, she begins to feel uneasy around the “new” Sun Woo, leading to an uncomfortable cohabitation between mother and son.
Kim Hyun Joo plays Ryu So Young, a mother who lost her son and must navigate a whirlwind of grief and confusion.
“Paradise Lost” marks Kim Hyun Joo’s latest collaboration with director Yeon Sang Ho, following “Hellbound,” “Jung_E,” and “The Bequeathed.” She has become one of the first actors Yeon Sang Ho thinks of when developing a new project, thanks to her ability to capture the essence of her characters and bring authenticity to every performance, even within the distinctive and ever-changing worlds of his films and series.
For “Paradise Lost,” Yeon Sang Ho said that Kim Hyun Joo was the only actress he had in mind for the role of Ryu So Young from the very beginning. Describing it as “an extremely difficult role in which too strong a performance can feel artificial, while holding back too much can make the emotions difficult for the audience to pick up on,” he explained, “I wanted to entrust this role to the most trustworthy actress I have worked with throughout my filmmaking career.”
Ryu So Young has spent the past nine years coping with the loss of her son by interacting with a younger version of him through the AI program “Children of Paradise.” When her son Ryu Sun Woo, whom she believed to be dead, miraculously returns alive one day, she is overwhelmed by confusion and anxiety as she encounters a presence completely different from the innocent boy she remembers.
Reflecting on So Young’s emotions at that moment, Kim Hyun Joo said, “Because it was a reality that was difficult to believe, the first thing she felt was the unfamiliarity of having a stranger man appear in front of her.” Through her signature depth and emotional nuance, Kim Hyun Joo brings to life a deeply complex character who is unable to find a moment of stability. Yeon Sang Ho praised her performance, saying, “She created a character who is much easier for the audience to understand than I had expected, while also guiding them through Ryu So Young’s complicated emotions in a way that feels accessible.”
The newly released stills capture So Young’s emotional turmoil through contrasting moods. In the first still, she stands in a doorway and looks inside with a gaze filled with worry and confusion, conveying her anguish as she faces the reality of a son who is different from the one in her memories.
In the second still, she sits in a dark car with a determined expression, simultaneously revealing So Young’s inner strength and anxiety as she struggles to keep herself from falling apart.
Kim Hyun Joo Is Shaken By The Changes In Her Missing Child Bae Hyeon Seong Upon His Return In New Film “Paradise Lost”
Upcoming film “Paradise Lost” has unveiled new stills featuring Kim Hyun Joo and Bae Hyeon Seong!
“Paradise Lost” is a thriller that follows the story of a son, Sun Woo, who returns home after nine years of being missing. So Young, who had been soothing her pain by interacting with a childhood version of her son through an artificial intelligence (AI) program while he was gone, begins to feel uneasy around the “new” Sun Woo, leading to an uncomfortable cohabitation between mother and son.
Kim Hyun Joo plays Ryu So Young, who is consumed by guilt over being unable to protect her son and fear as she comes face-to-face with the son who has become a stranger to her. Bae Hyeon Seong plays Ryu Sun Woo, the son who returns after nine years.
After losing her son, Ryu So Young has managed to get through each day by meeting the son who remained frozen at age 10 inside the AI program “Children of Paradise.”
Then, one day, Sun Woo returns home after nine years. However, with a scarred face and unreadable eyes, Sun Woo is different from the young son So Young remembers. So Young finds herself torn between her virtual son, restored through AI, and her real son, who has returned looking like a stranger.
The newly released stills further highlight the uneasy reunion between mother and son. They capture So Young visiting an abandoned coal mine with a bouquet of flowers and grown-up Sun Woo sitting in the room that has remained just as it was during his childhood.
Director Yeon Sang Ho explained, “It is a production that continues the story of ‘The Ugly,’ and it is a darker and colder story than ‘The Ugly.’”
After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and screening at the Busan International Film Festival, “Paradise Lost” will hit theaters on October 21.

5 Perfect BLs To Watch If You’re Missing “Love Class 3”
If you just finished “Love Class 3” and are now left scrolling through a list of shows, trying to find your next watch that’ll fill that void, you aren’t alone. “Love Class 3” was about idols falling in love while chasing their dreams and navigating the extremely rough world of the K-pop industry. Luckily, there’s more of that already out there in BL to add to your watch list.
Whether you loved the music or the multilingual cast of “Love Class 3,” these are five BL recommendations based on the most iconic parts that made the show so good:
1. For another idol-cast drama: “A Shoulder to Cry on”
“Love Class 3” wasn’t only about idols and the K-pop industry. It also had real idols as some of the characters, including Lee Woo Jin of GHOST9 and Saebyeol of WAKER. As it happens, K-BLs have had quite a few dramas with idols cast in lead roles, including “A Shoulder to Cry on.”
Though “A Shoulder to Cry on” isn’t about idols, it stars OMEGA X’s Ye Chan and Jae Han as the leads.
Da Yeol (Jae Han) is a high school archer who is extremely talented but also a bit of a loner. Focusing only on school and his sport, he has no close friends and has slipped into a lifeless daily routine. Despite his talent, he doesn’t know exactly where his passions lie.
During a chance encounter and a series of unexpected events, Da Yeol ends up on the metaphorical hit list of the school’s golden boy, Tae Hyeon (Ye Chan). Completely opposite to Da Yeol, Tae Hyeon is a social butterfly with everyone, even the teachers, under his spell.
Drawn into Tae Hyeon’s world, Da Yeol quickly realizes that Tae Hyeon’s exemplary student act is just that—an act. Now in a sticky situation at school purely because Tae Hyeon wanted to stir up trouble, Da Yeol tries to forget and move on, but Tae Hyeon is nowhere near done messing with Da Yeol.
All of a sudden, Da Yeol’s life is filled with passion, but not in the way he ever expected.
Why it’s worth the watch: This is a classic enemies-to-lovers set up with two guys living in totally different worlds: a bad boy hiding behind a good boy persona and a school outcast who sees right through his act. The line between outright bullying and playful flirting is extremely thin with these two. This is one to watch for an unexpected pairing and chemistry you can feel through the screen, especially if you’re an OMEGA X fan.

2. For another multilingual love story: “Eccentric Romance”
The whole dynamic between Khun (Petch Panutuch Saelee) and Jae Min (Lee Woo Jin) in “Love Class 3” was absolutely adorable. Their language differences led to some funny moments of miscommunication, but it also led to a deeper connection. They even started learning each other’s languages to communicate better.
Though cross-cultural casts are generally still rare in K-BL, there are a few more out there, like “Eccentric Romance.” Technically, it is a Korean BL, but one of the two male leads is Thai, and the show’s premise plays into this.
Set at university, the story follows Jay (Save Saisawat), a Thai exchange student, and his Korean friend Sung Hoon (Yoon Jun Won). They’ve always been close and have had this “something more” atmosphere between them, but nothing has ever taken them past friendship.
Things change when the two are enrolled in a “Health and Happiness” class, and they must submit a physical assessment as part of a project. It’s not a love class, but it’s close.
While Sung Hoon is already a fitness buff who does sports and exercises frequently, Jay is the sort of person who doesn’t know how to use a single piece of gym equipment. Thanks to the class assignment, Jay suddenly wants to become fit too, so he asks Sung Hoon to take him to the gym and help him train.
Sung Hoon is ecstatic because he thinks this is a chance for them to get closer. But, plot twist, Jay is quickly convinced by a gym trainer to start personal training, leaving Sung Hoon to watch from afar.
It could be Sung Hoon’s imagination, or jealousy, or a little bit of both, but he picks up weird vibes from Jay’s trainer and decides to investigate. With a murder case being investigated on campus at the same time, there’s definitely something off.
Why it’s worth the watch: This is a very lighthearted, fun, and funny Korean BL that’s easy to binge in one go. The mini murder mystery thrown in the mix might sound like it doesn’t fit the story, but it somehow works. For an unserious good time, this hits.

3. For another “what are we, really?”: “Something’s Not Right”
In “Something’s Not Right,” best friends Ba Woo (Choi Min Ho) and Jee Hoon (Jeong Je Hyeon) are a lot like Hyun Jae (Saebyeol) and Soo An (Seo Ihan) in the way they spend almost the entire show dodging real feelings and trying to answer the age-old BL question: is there really something between us, or are we just friends? In this case, it is largely the show’s whole plot.
Ba Woo and Jee Hoon have been as close as can be since they were kids, and all throughout high school they’ve lingered on that thin line between best friends and lovers. The secret of their suspicious relationship is that Ba Woo has always harbored a crush on Jee Hoon. Besides Jee Hoon being totally clueless, Ba Woo has kept his feelings hidden because he’s afraid to be rejected and to ruin their friendship.
Now that they are in college and their relationship has only gotten more unclear, Ba Woo decides it’s time to cut ties with Jee Hoon and avoid further heartbreak. But from Jee Hoon’s perspective, his best friend suddenly wants to end their relationship and is unwilling to give a reason, and that’s just not good enough for Jee Hoon. Besides being a little clueless about feelings, Jee Hoon is at least extremely persistent.
While all this is happening, Ba Woo accidentally leaves his diary detailing his one-sided crush at the library, and it ends up in the hands of art student Ha Min (Ji Min Seo). Ha Min, who happens to be on the lookout for a story to illustrate for a manhwa contest, thinks Ba Woo’s real-life story is a work of a genius fiction writer.
While Ba Woo tries to outrun his clingy best friend and one-sided crush, he’s also being chased down by Ha Min, who wants to publicize his story but who also has some pretty good relationship advice. Now it’s up to Ba Woo to find a way to solve both of his unwanted problems.
Why it’s worth the watch: A silly order of events brings two best friends and a stranger into a chaotic story of unrequited love and friendship. The story comes from the unique perspective of Ba Woo; like his character, the viewer only sees his skewed view of Jee Hoon, so viewers are just as unsure as he is about how Jee Hoon really feels.

4. For more love in class: “Love Class 2”
“Love Class 2” is a no-brainer recommendation if you loved “Love Class 3.” It’s the second installment in the series, but a standalone story, so you don’t have to worry about watching them all in order. Of all the seasons so far, “Love Class 2” has the most love stories in one, all taking place on campus. All three couples have their own story and their own vibe, but they also intertwine with each other.
The first couple is filled with angst, a little mystery, and a “we can’t cross that line” feeling. It starts when Lee Hyun (Jeon Minwook) grows a crush on his high school tutor, Kim An (Kim Yong Seok). The potential for something romantic is definitely there, but because of the age difference and dynamic, Lee Hyun tries his best to keep their relationship a student-teacher one only.
They never really get to address their feelings because one day, Kim An just disappears. Lee Hyun has been searching for his face in crowds ever since, and one day he finds him sitting in one of his university classes. However, Kim An has changed into someone he doesn’t recognize, but that doesn’t mean he is giving up.
The second couple is Min Woo (Woo Hyo Won) and Ma Ru (Lee Kwang Hee). They’re best friends, but Min Woo has a secret crush on Ma Ru. However, Ma Ru might be the very last person to notice. While Ma Ru keeps leaning on Min Woo as his best friend, Min Woo can’t help wanting something more between them.
The third and last couple is another teacher-student situation, but this time it’s between a workaholic teaching assistant named Sung Min (Jeong Woo Jae) and a flirtatious undergrad named Ju Hyeok (An Jeong Gyun). Their silly meet-cute sparks Ju Hyeok’s interest in Sung Min, and he starts pursuing him. Sung Min, however, doesn’t get the message.
Why it’s worth the watch: Romance just hits different when it happens in the setting of a college campus. This is for you if you love a multi-couple storyline, killer chemistry, and relationships that are worked for. It’s a super cozy comfort watch where picking your favorite couple of the three is part of the fun.

5. For more music: “First Note of Love”
In “First Note of Love,” Sea (Michael Chang) is a timid young man who hides that he is also secretly a popular music prodigy. He’s stayed out of the spotlight until an opportunity to produce music for Neil (Charles Tu) comes along.
Neil was super popular in his prime, but he has been on hiatus since losing his brother and bandmate. Still reeling from his loss, Neil wants to give up on his music career, but his team believes he should give it another shot. They set up a meeting between Neil and Sea to get the ball rolling, but the two clash right away.
Neil thinks Sea is too shy and inexperienced to work with. He is totally unaware that Sea is, in fact, his biggest fan. Sea has always put his idol on the highest pedestal, but Neil’s first impressions are far from what he had expected. Neil isn’t at all eager to try performing again, but then he hears Sea’s music.
Why it’s worth the watch: A fanboy and an idol falling in love might be one of the best setups to exist, but it can go either of two ways: really well or really badly. After all, the saying “don’t meet your idols” exists for a reason. Compared to “Love Class 3,” this drama focuses more heavily on the music aspect, and the music is indeed really good. Prepare your tissues: the show explores the difficult and bumpy road to love and healing after a loss.

Watch: So Ji Sub Revives His Deadly Past To Find His Missing Daughter In “Agent Kim Reactivated”
“Agent Kim Reactivated” has unveiled a new teaser!
Based on a popular webtoon, “Agent Kim Reactivated” is an action revenge drama that tells the story of Manager Kim (So Ji Sub), a seemingly ordinary dad with a secret past who puts everything on the line to save his beloved daughter.
The newly released teaser begins with Manager Kim heading home from work as usual and enjoying a night out together with his friends Sung Han Soo (Choi Dae Hoon) and Park Jin Chul (Yoon Kyung Ho).
However, the mood quickly shifts. As Sung Han Soo asks, “How long are you going to live with your daughter as your whole world?” the teaser cuts to Manager Kim’s daughter Min Ji (Seo Su Min) being bullied by her classmates. Rushing to her school, Manager Kim kneels before the adults involved and says, “I know I have shortcomings as a single parent. Please forgive her.”
But tragedy follows when Min Ji tearfully asks, “Why won’t you believe me, Dad?” before suddenly disappearing. Determined to find her, Manager Kim begins searching with the help of his friends. The teaser then launches into a series of intense action scenes as he takes down enemies with his fists and even an axe. He warns them, “I’m only letting you live because I believe my daughter is still alive. Otherwise, you’d all be dead.”
After the chilling declaration, explosions erupt and chaos unfolds. Sung Han Soo battles enemies using whatever he can get his hands on, including a fire extinguisher, while Park Jin Chul smashes through glass and unleashes a barrage of punches, showcasing the trio’s formidable fighting skills.
The teaser also introduces new mysterious characters. Joo Kang Chan (Joo Sang Wook), a powerful figure in the underworld, becomes intrigued after hearing, “A girl named Min Ji has disappeared, and her father is searching for her.” Meanwhile, Park Kang Sung (Kim Sung Kyu) appears in a diving suit, and Sang Ah (Son Naeun), previously known as Manager Kim’s co-worker, is seen engaged in a fierce knife fight with Park Kang Sung.
The teaser concludes with Manager Kim descending a staircase with a cold expression as he asks, “Has anyone seen a second-year, Class 7 student at Songin High wearing a brown blazer and yellow hoodie?” He then adds, “If not, don’t stand in my way,” hinting at the relentless pursuit that lies ahead.
