A good movie tends to have a good script. What if a director fails to get one? No need to worry, because Korean filmmakers are quick to borrow from other genres such as comics and novels.
A striking case in point is "My Wife Got Married", a provocative tale about bigamy adapted from the bestselling novel of the same title, written by Park Hyun-wook. The movie debuted on Oct. 23 and shot up to No. 1 at the box office here, demonstrating that good storytelling works across different platforms.

"Antique", to be released Nov. 13, falls into the same category, though the original story comes from a bestselling Japanese comic series.

After the female-dominated last year and after this summer filled with men, it will be the season for pretty boys.
The faces are brilliant.
Kang Dong-won, who had stayed inactive after "M", will come back with "The War of Flower" Director Choi Dong-hoon's "Jeon Woo-chi". He is the first of the pretty boys, and will play a character who is born again into modern times after being trapped in a picture due to his wasteful life.
People look forward to Kang Dong-won's special comedy, which he showed in "Too Beautiful to Lie" and "M", and how it will tie in with his innocent appearance.
"Jeon Woo-chi" will air early next year, but it is already popular due to the union of Director Choi Dong-hoon, Kang Dong-won, Kim Yoon-seok, and Im Soo-jeong....| More |
