Park Si-yeon received the role of Yoo-ri, a provocative, sexy woman, in "Marine Boy", a thriller surrounding a marine boy who transports drugs in the ocean by hiding them in his body.
For Park Si-yeon, her idiot and sexy images are said to coexist, but through "Marine Boy", she will officially act as a 'femme fatale'. Yoo-ri interferes in the business between drug carrier Chun-soo (Kim Kang-woo) and President Kang (Jo Jae-hyeon), who puts Chun-soo in danger.
She has the job of a jazz singer, but she hides her real identity and tempts President Kang and Chun-soo and unfolds her secret plans.
In order to transform into a provocative and sexy Yoo-ri that surpasses Madame Jeong in "The War of Flower", Park Si-yeon has prepared to be thoroughly transformed from her head to her feet. After casting, she is receiving vocal training for a perfect performance as a jazz singer.

A star-studded cast and state-of-the-art stunts might not be enough to save SBS' latest drama "Bichunmoo - Drama" from a bad time slot, awkward dubbing and a poorly written script.
"I felt like I was watching a pathetic Chinese movie", a viewer wrote on the drama's official bulletin board, after the first two episodes aired last Friday.
Jointly produced by Chinese and Korean companies, "Bichunmoo - Drama" features a combination of both Korean and Chinese actors. The first two episodes solved the language issue by dubbing all the Chinese actors into Korean.
But Korean audiences aren't responding well.
"Are they trying to ruin the drama?" wrote one viewer.
Yet another viewer recommended switching to subtitles, writing, "If it weren't for the dubbing, it would be an acceptable drama. It's not too late to change to subtitles now".
Viewers will have to wait till next Friday's installment to find out if SBS takes the hint and starts subtitling. But the dubbing isn't the onl...| More

"What is the interrelationship between the naming value of a star and the number of audience?"
In conclusion, the interrelationship is inverse proportion according to the trend in 2007 box-office success in Korean film industry. Among the 100 movies released this year, only 4 movies had more than 3 million audiences, including "D-War" (8 million), "May 18" (7 million), "Voice of Murderer" (3.25 million) and "Le Grand Chef" which recently reached 3 million.
Among many movies that went into the black, following are those which closely reached the break-even point, including "Miracle on 1st Street" (Im Chang-jeong and Ha Ji-won), "Voice of Murderer" (Seol Kyeong-gu and Kim Nam-joo), "May 18" (Kim Sang-kyeong and Lee Yo-won), "D-War" (Jason Behr), "Paradise 1986" (Park Hae-il and Seong Ji-roo), and "Le Grand Chef" (Kim Kang-woo and Lee Ha-na). Among the 100 movies released this year, only 7% made a profit.
However, all movies that drew attention for top stars' appearance have fa...| More
