Actress Uhm Jung-hwa is well known for playing single, successful career women in many feel-good romantic comedies. But in recent years she seems to have tried to step away from the stereotype.
After her role as a serial killer in last year's thriller "Princess Aurora", the 34-year-old actress is back in a challenging new role as a piano teacher who must pull-off skillful piano performances.
"I wasn't really into classical music, so I was really worried about scenes in which I have to play piano skillfully", Uhm said during a news conference on Tuesday, after the preview screening of her new film "My Piano (Horobichurul Wihayo)" at Daehan Theater in downtown Seoul.
In the movie, Uhm plays a 30-year-old single woman who used to dream about becoming a world-class pianist but ends up opening a small neighborhood piano school in the outskirts of Seoul.
She meets a troublesome boy with great musical talent and her goal becomes turning him into ...| More |

Actress Uhm Jung-hwa is probably best known for her portrayal of leading ladies in warm-hearted feel-good romantic comedies.
Her characters are mostly successful career women who, by the time the credits come rolling, have won over the object of their affection, or in some cases, the other way around.
Just a run-through of her filmography is all it would take to figure out that no other actress has done as many films.
Um, starting off in show business in 1989 as a singer of a local television station chorus, went on to pursue an acting career on the small screen in soap operas. She also released a string of dance albums starting in the late 1990s and into the millennium. Many of her songs, which include "Paebanui Changmi", "Chodae", "Molla" and more, went on to top the local charts.
Her breakthrough performance in a feature film, after several minor roles, was her portrayal of a headstrong woman not willing to give in to commitment in "Mar...| More |

Like physical ability, talent is apparently something that runs in the family, too. This passing on of the gift for acting or singing can be seen this fall in the rush of second-generation male stars dominating both big and small screens.
Kim Moo-saeng (died in February at the age of 62) and Kim Joo-hyeok (33)
When Kim Joo-hyeok played the role of a stuffy assistant teacher on "KAIST" in 1999, he easily could have passed as an extra picked up on the set. Not only was his delivery of lines awkward, his overall performance was just plain bad, critics said. But experience gained on the job eventually led him to landing his first major role as a detective in the 2002 thriller "Say Yes", which he starred alongside Choo Sang-mi and Park Joong-hoon. It wasn't long before critics were writing that he was a chip off the old block, as it was no secret that he was the son of actor Kim Moo-saeng, who passed on last spring. The younger Kim has gone on to tak...| More |

▣ ...Hong Banjang (Mr. Hong) (2004)
Seoul Selection Bookstore
Saturday at noon
Pop diva and actress Uhm Jung-hwa's latest romantic comedy "...Hong Banjang (Mr. Handy)" is a clever twist on the knight-in-shining-armor routine. Uhm plays Hye-jin, a dentist who quits her position at a Seoul hospital to try to set up her own shop. Unable to afford the real estate in the capital, she finds herself settling for a modest dental clinic in a small town. While trying to get her new business up and running, she meets Hong Tu-sik (Kim Ju-hyuk), who's crass, has no steady job to speak of and makes a living by taking on any kind of work for the price of 50,000 won a day. "Mr. Handy" is reminiscent of such odd-couple love stories like "French Kiss" and "Misulgwan Yop Tongmulwon (Art Museum By the Zoo)," but first-time director Kang Sok-bom brings a light touch to the smart script, which keeps the romantic comedy from feeling predictable. On DVD. Located near Anguk Station on s...| More
