  • From Rain to brain-eating worms, it's time to get your popcorn ready

    2012/01/05, Source,
    A new year has begun, and the nation's movie industry is all geared up for a strong showing in 2012 with the return of a number of high-profile actors and directors. Whether you're a fan of heartthrob actor Rain or find pleasure in watching worms eat human brains, it's time to get your popcorn ready. The mega projects Blockbuster films such as "Sector 7", "The Front Line" and "Quick" failed to break even in 2011. But these flops didn't discourage other ambitious projects from coming to theaters this year. To turn the tide, films in the Year of the Dragon will introduce themes seldom touched by Korean cinema in the past,...More
  • JTBC leads new channels in first weekend

    2011/12/08, Source,
    'It is significant that the JTBC dramas have viewer ratings of higher than 1 percent, as they are at a disadvantage'. -Kim Jin-kyung Ham Eun-jeong of K-pop group T-ara plays the young Queen Insoo in JTBC's weekend drama "Queen Insoo".

With ratings of more than 1 percent, JTBC beat the three other new channels on its first weekend, according to AGB Nielsen Media Research, the Korean branch of the American company that releases the Nielsen ratings for television and other media. JTBC's weekday dramas have also been doing well,...More
  • [HanCinema's Film Review] Putting the 'Han' in Korean Cinema: Meta-narratives and Cultural Identity

    2011/11/05,
    Where are Korea's happy endings? If you have ever watched a Korean film you will know that they don't always conclude as they might have done if produced by Hollywood. The characters and their stories seem to be influenced by an invisible force that marks a film as typically "Korea". From its melodramas to revenge thrillers, there is something tragic and constant driving the Korean film culture, but what exactly? How can one begin to understand Korean cinema in its entirety, as a product of cultural influences and collective consciousness? The exclusively Korean notion of 'Han' might provide some clues as to why Korean cinema has produced the type of films it has,...More

Synopsis
Widowed for a long time, a mother lives alone with her only son. He is 28 years old, a shy and quiet young man. In the aftermath of a terrible murder, the woman’s hope- less, helpless son becomes the prime suspect. There is no real evidence against him, but the police throw groundless suspicion at him. Eager to close the case, the police are happy with their cursory investigation and arrest the boy. His defense attorney turns out to be in- competent and unreliable. Faced with no other choice, his mother gets involved, determined to prove her son’s innocence.
