  • Actress Kim Hye-soo's movie picks

    2011/01/07, Source,
    Actress Kim Hye-soo [10Asia] Gender is not the only thing that sets the word 'actress' apart from 'actor'. The word 'actress' alone carries layers of meaning that could refer as one to be envied, a seemingly unreachable glory and perhaps a tragic personal story or two hidden within. Living as an actress in Korea means carrying both a light and darkness inside that are enough to invoke curiosity. And actress Kim Hye-soo fits this category perfectly, as if the term was coined for her alone. Her glamorous body and a confident attitude are some of the phrases we often use to describe Kim's aura. But above all, the prowess she accumulated through her acting career has helped to solidify her position as a true actress,...More
  • Kim Hye-soo in talks to make movie comeback

    2010/04/07, Source,
    Top Korean actress Kim Hye-soo [Asia Economic Daily] Top Korean actress Kim Hye-soo is showing prospects of returning to the big screen for the first time in two years. Sidus FNH, the company producing the romantic comedy thriller tentatively titled "Villain and Widow", said Kim has tentatively agreed to star in the film although an official contract yet to be signed. Kim's last movie appearance was in 2008 production "Modern Boy".

  • Kang Ji-hwan's Movie Picks

    2009/12/23, Source,
    Korean actor Kang Ji-hwan [photographed by Lee  Won-woo/10Asia] There are usually two ways that male actors can have a competitive advantage on television and movie screens. He can be drop-dead gorgeous or have drop-dead fantastic acting skills. Of course, not all actors fulfill either one requirement completely, but in most cases one could tell how much an actor satisfied each requirement. But what makes Kang Ji-hwan interesting is that one cannot quite discern exactly how handsome or how great of an actor he is. Of course, Kang Ji-hwan has an attractive smile and is a very detailed actor. But his appeal comes from that certain something that goes beyond good looks and good acting skills. In other words, there are other actors who are more attractive and more talented than he is, but one cannot easily think of any actor that is better suited for roles in the following movies -- Hong Gil-dong in "Hong Gil-dong", Sunwoo Wan in "Capital Scandal" and Jae-joon in "My Girlfriend is an Agent". This isn't simply because he played these characters well. For parts like Hong Gil-dong, who trudges around with a knapsack and a pole, and the cheesy, immature Modern Boy who is busy seducing women in a midst of societal chaos [in "Capital Scandal"), Kang's looks and acting are a perfect fit for making such comic book-ish characters come to life. Few actors can pull off a really difficult role but it is just as rare to find an actor like Kang, who can play around with interesting characters. So it comes as no surprise that Kang would recommend such comical, imaginative movies as below.,...More

One day, in a basement dance hall, he discovers CHO Nan-shil, a startlingly beautiful chanteuse who calls herself “Laura,” and is transfixed at first sight. They start to go out together.
