On a recent Saturday evening, hundreds of people milled about the lobby of Chungmu Art Hall before the start of "The Three Musketeers" musical.
It's a common scene ahead of any performance. But something stood out about the makeup of the crowd waiting to see this particular show, a Korean version of the Czech musical that recounts the famous story of d'Artagnan and his friends. Sprinkled about the lobby were small groups of Japanese women, most of whom looked like tourists rather than residents. Perhaps they just happened to want to catch a Korean performance during their visit to Seoul? Quite the opposite. "I've been a fan of Shin Sung-woo since 2005, and I'm here just to see him perform in the musical", said Masako Arakawa, a 39-year-old Japanese woman, referring to the famous Korean singer-actor who played the role of Athos in that night's performance. "Though the musical is entirely in Korean and I don't understand Korean, it doesn't matter, as long as I can see him and...| More | |||||||||

Movie actress Moon Geun-yeong (21)'s comeback drama, SBS "Painter of the Wind" might star Park Shin-yang (40) as the male leading role. Their age difference is 19 years.
Moon Geun-yeong has acted with Kim Joo-hyeok (36) in "Love Me Not" and Park Geon-hyeong (31) in "Innocent Steps". A ten year difference is standard. It is also interesting that she has acted with no one her age except when she starred as Song Hye-kyo (26)'s younger character. The same goes for Ko Ah-ra (18). After graduating from the teen drama "Sharp", she acted with Yoon Kye-sang (30), who graduated from an idol group. Leaving her roles as the rebellious daughter and the innocent girl, she is acting with older men. She is currently acting in MBC "Who Are You - Drama" At first, it was surprising, but now, the age difference between actors and actresses are becoming natural. It is like getting used to scratchy old clothes after wearing them for a long time. It is also like how the stinging smell of ammonia in ...| More | |||||||||

As the year 2007 ended, the dramas are also changing its path. On 26th, SBS Wed-Thur drama, "Lobbyist" was finished, followed by KBS 2 "In-Soon is Pretty" on 27th. Previously, KBS1 historical drama, "Dae Jo Yeong" was crowned with perfection on 23rd. The following is the summary of popularity rating of dramas in 2007 (data provided by TNS Media Korea), beginning with MBC serial drama "Bad woman, Good woman" which began on 1st January 2007.
In the Department of Mon-Tue dramas… Between the dominance of "Jumong", "My Man's woman", "Coffee Prince", KBS was doomed, "Oh my God, What should we do?" This year's KBS and SBS Mon-Tue dramas had a period of dark age due to MBC "Jumong". Strictly speaking, "Jumong" is the 'Old' drama, which began on 15th May 2006 and its leading actor Song Il-gook received a Grand Prize in 2006 MBC Drama Awards for his excellent performance. However, its popularity continued this year. When "Jumong" finally finished on 6th March, it recorded its maximum rati...| More | |||||||||

Another fabulous musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber is coming to town. Adapted into Korean language and produced by local staff, "The Beautiful Game" will be staged Nov. 16 at LG Art Center for a two-month run.
The West End musical co-written by Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton is about loss of innocence, betrayal and tragedy in a group of teenagers growing up amid religious intolerance in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1969. Focusing on the drama of an Irish youth football team, the musical tells how the players deal with the violence and terrorism that become their worlds. Inspired by a TV documentary about a group of kids -- some were Catholics, some Protestants -- who played football together in 1969, the musical chronicles the ups and downs of the team players amid the emerging political and religious violence that troubled the region. John and Frank both show enough talent to pursue careers as professional footballers. They are just two regular teenagers who dream of not...| More | |||||||||
