As Spring draws near, star actors Cha Tae-hyeon and Ha Ji-won will warm up the season with director's Kim Jeong-kwon's ("Ditto", "A Man Who Went to Mars") latest movie "BA:BO", a heart drenching drama slated for release Feb. 28.

"Fool" is a film adaptation of the explosively popular online cartoon "Babo" (which means "fool" or "oaf" in Korean) by Kang Full. It had millions of Netizens in tears, and the director, also a big fan, describes the movie version as being faithful to the original.

"I cried my eyes out when I read the cartoon", Cha told reporters during a promotional event at a Seoul hotel Monday. "After I was cast for the movie, I thought long and hard about how I would act out the role", said the face of romantic comedies like "My Sassy Girl" and "My Crazy First Love".

Cha takes his goofy guy-next-door image to play the town's jester, Seung-ryong. Once a bright young boy, he suffers a fatal accident, and at age 27 he has the intelli...

Up and coming director Lim Pil-seong's latest work "Hansel and Gretel" is a sinister tale, which gets its inspiration from those classic children's stories with a dark twist. Here it is adults rather than children who become lost in the woods.

But the movie itself loses orientation and trails off course. There are no redeeming factors ― no breadcrumbs ― to this "brutal fairytale", which stops short of being an allegorical oxymoron.

Eun-su (Cheon Jeong-myeong), while arguing over the phone with his girlfriend, has a car accident in the middle of nowhere. Deep in the heart of a forest, he finds sanctuary in a beautiful house, where a charming family of five greets him.

Here, rooms are filled with a myriad of colorful toys, and sumptuous three-tier cakes and other cavity-causing sweets are served for breakfast. But that's one thing to imagine and another to actually live through, especially when you cannot get away from it ― eve...

There had been true 'Woman's power' in Korean cinema this year. The 'Cannes Lady', Jeon Do-yeon, who is sweeping through all year-end film awards, is the 2007's queens of the Queen without any further questions. From "200 pounds beauty"'s ' Cinderella ' Kim Ah-joong; 'Shadows in the Palace"'s heroin Park Jin-hee and the returned world star Kim Yoon-jin in "Seven days"; Kim Hye-soo, who never stops being one character in films such as "The War of Flower", "A Good Day to Have an Affair", "Shim's Family" and "Eleventh Mom"; Kim Tae-hee in "Venus and Mars", who tries to take off her angelic image built from various commercial films; to the newbie Han Ye-seul with her debut film, "Miss Gold Digger". Countless beautiful female actors made their own characteristic appeals and produced good results in both local and international arena.

On upcoming New Year, the top male actors are returning to screen, already heating up the atmosphere. First of all, the two most popular Hallyu stars, Song...

Actress Kim Seon-ah (32) has won a suit for breach of contract brought against her by a film production company. The Seoul Central District Court on Thursday ruled against the production company, who sued the actress and her agency for damages. In June, production company Yoon and Joon sued Kim for damages worth W1 billion (US$1=W925) claiming that Kim failed to carry out her obligation to play the leading role in the film "Thursday's Child" and it caused damages worth W2.3 billion by halting production last year.

But the court said the shoot was halted not because the actress made irrational demands but because the director, whom the production company chose, failed to handle procedures smoothly. "The responsibility lies with the movie production", it said. Kim will not have to repay her fee.

"Thursday's Child" eventually turned into "Seven Days" starring Kim Yoon-jin role. Yoon and Joon and Prime Entertainment jointly produced the film, which went on release nationwide last mon...
