Having played everything from romantic heroes and cool villains to vengeful agents and Storm Shadow, Korean superstar Lee Byung Hun takes on the first costume period role of his twenty-plus year career in the mega blockbuster Masquerade. Inspired by two missing weeks in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, Masquerade is a riveting The Prince and the Pauper-like drama about a commoner who becomes king after the real king has been poisoned. Lee Byung Hun gives an electrifying dual-role performance, playing both King Gwanghae one of the most controversial monarchs of Joseon history and the peasant who takes his place. Both a critical and commercial success, Masquerade swept 15 awards at the 49th Daejong Film Awards and amassed over 12 million admissions at the box office, making it one of the top five Korean films of all time.

Suspecting that his enemies are conspiring to kill him, troubled King Gwanghae (Lee Byung Hun) orders councilor Heo Gyun (Ryu Seung Ryong) to find someone who can act as his double. Enter Ha Sun (Lee Byung Hun), a crude jester who bears striking resemblance to the king. Ha Sun need only sit in the king’s chamber at night and he gets paid handsomely, but everything changes when Gwanghae is poisoned. Keeping Gwanghae’s critical condition a secret, Heo Gyun plants Ha Sun onto the throne to bide for time while the real king recovers. With each passing day, however, the lowly peasant begins to fit the role of king better and better…

Returning to a period role after her breakout success in the 2010 historical TV drama Dong Yi, Han Hyo Ju plays the Queen caught between the real and fake kings. Ryu Seung Ryong (War of the Arrows), Kim In Kwon (The Tower) and teen actress Shim Eun Kyung (Sunny) also give notable supporting performances in Masquerade. At the helm is director Choo Chang Min, whose previous Late Blossom turned into a sleeper hit in 2011..

In 1995, comedy superstar Stephen Chow and director Jeff Lau re-imagined the Journey to the West mythos with the two-part A Chinese Odyssey film. A twisted fantasy comedy packed with special effects, the film elevated Chow’s signature brand of comedy to a whole new level and became one of the star’s most popular films among Mainland China audiences. 17 years later, Chow takes the director’s chair with Gallants director Derek Kwok for Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, an original chapter that creates a new origin story for one of the story’s major characters.

Making his first film since 2008’s CJ7, Chow is strictly staying behind the scenes for the first time in his career. However, his unique comedic style can be clearly felt in the film’s silly humor, striking visuals, as well as the comic performances of stars Wen Zhang (Love is Not Blind), Shu Qi (If You Are the One), Huang Bo (Lost in Thailand) and Taiwan pop prince Show Luo. Released in time for the Lunar New Year holidays, Conquering the Demons became the second highest-grossing film ever at the Chinese box office and the top-grossing Chinese-language film in history, proving that Stephen Chow is truly a hit maker even when he’s staying behind the camera.

Demon hunter Chen Xuanzhang (Wen Zhang) believes that he can purify any demon through love. However, his belief is shaken when his attempt to defeat a demon fish ends in a family’s death and a victory for violent demon hunter Duan (Shu Qi). After getting encouragement from his master, Xuanzhang soldiers on to hunting down a demonic hog with the help of Duan, who has fallen in love with Xuanzhang. Despite help from other demon hunters, the hog gets away. As a last resort, Xuanzhang and Duan turn to the help of Sun Wukong (Huang Bo), who has been imprisoned for five centuries for his crimes in heaven..
