In 2004, a group of the nation's central theater figures pooled their strength and put on 15 carefully prepared works on the stage, one after another, in the span of one year. The response was amazing for a genre that has never been very popular, drawing some 170,000 people and an average 81 percent seat-occupancy rate.

Those people have been at work again since late last year, this time to offer 11 top contemporary picks and to solicit help from well-known television and movie actors and actresses, in hopes that their appearance will further vitalize the drama genre.

The latest project from "Yeongeukyeoljeon 2", as the special production company is called, is "The Return of Mr. Um", a sequel to "At the Marina", which was presented in 2005 and won the Grand Arts Award from Arts Council Korea the same year.

The play, which will begin staging later this month, has been generating a lot of media hype after word got out that Ko Soo, a major television heartthrob who recently finis...

Top actor Jo In-seong has been expelled from Dongguk University as he failed to meet the school's attendance requirements.

The university said that the 26-year-old actor was asked not to return to the Department of Theater, which has strict regulations controlling student behavior, as he skipped many classes last semester.

Jo originally went to Chunnam Techno College in South Jolla Province and later entered Dongguk University in 2003 to further his study of performing arts.

However, after moving to the university, Jo didn't have much time to attend classes from 2005 as he started acting in the film, "A Dirty Carnival", which was released last year.

Sidus HQ, Jo's management agency, said that he tried to balance both his acting career and studies, but failed to do so because of his tight schedule.

The agency said that he is considering resuming his studies through seeking reentrance, while continuing his work.

If Romeo and Juliet had not been the son and daughter of mortal enemies, and if their families had given their blessing to these young lovers - Romeo might have found himself a prettier girl, and Juliet would possibly have tired of her shilly-shally lover anyway. Consequently, the love story that has endured through the centuries, simply wouldn't have happened.

As evidenced through many love stories in history, the rule remains the same: A forbidden love is always more powerful and naturally arouses more empathy.

MBC primetime drama "One Fine Day" follows this rule faithfully. Only this time, the scenario eclipses Romeo and Juliet - the tragic romance sprouts between brother and sister.

Geon (Gong Yoo) and Ha-neul (Seong Yoo-ri), who are reunited after losing touch with each other for 15 years, come to realize that their mutual affection is something more than that of a brother and a sister.
The two main characters of the drama - Geon (Gong Yoo) and Ha-neul (Seong Yoo-ri) - a...
