'Sikgaek' sets off on new culinary journey

2008/06/16 | Source | Permalink |

The comic-book series was a hit. The movie version topped national charts. Will the "Sikgaek" drama get high viewer ratings?

Set to air this Tuesday night on SBS, this 24-episode drama is based on Heo Yeong-man's bestselling comic series of the same name. While the film version of the series, titled "Le Grand Chef", topped national charts last year, that doesn't guarantee the upcoming drama a free ride to the top.

With SBS melodramas "All In" (2003) and "Love Story in Harvard" (2004-2005) screenwriter Choi Wan-gyoo orchestrating the plot of the TV version, what originally started out as a soulful exploration of the regional flavors of Korean cuisine in Heo Yeong-man's series may morph into a sappy and highly dramatic romance on the small screen.

Judging from the 40-minute preview screening last week, SBS' "Sikgaek" promises to bring classic drama-making elements to audiences nationwide. Rivalry, love triangles and heritage all factor into this miniseries. Glossy shots of Korea...| More

Korean heartthrob Kim Rae-won ("My Little Bride", 2004) will star as the warm hearted chef-in-training Lee, while actress Nam Sang-mi (TV drama "Sweet Spy", 2005) will play a silly country girl, Kim Jin-soo, who trails Lee with high hopes of becoming a ...| More

Eric Moon will be playing Kang Chil-woo in the fantasy historical drama "Best Chil Woo". His character leads a double life, a law enforcement officer by day and leader of killers by night.

Eric Moon, who is negotiating the details, is planning to enter military service in September after the drama. The results of the drama are more important because he will enter the army shortly afterwards.

Lee Dong-geon, also expected to enter the army at the end of the year, will come back in the MBC drama "Every Night". He is currently in grief for his brother, who died in Australia, and is planning to film the drama after his funeral.
