Actor Jeong Joon-ho said, "We're meeting with good intentions".

He revealed this on the 28th at the closing party for MBC "Last Scandal".

He said, "I am at the age to get married. So if I do get married, I don't want to hide it. But I was confused when an unexpected article came out. I don't think it's respectful to fans either".

"It is true that I have good intentions, and I will try to see good results. To be honest, it'll be hard if this year passes. So I'm trying hard to make it work".

Jeong Woong-in, who also starred in "Last Scandal", joked, "It was Sunday and Jeong Joon-ho was on the phone while filming. But it was a woman's voice". I heard, 'Let's eat together'. So I was suspicious. Jeong Joon-ho has to hurry and get married. We have to get rid of him".

You can say that a movie is a genre that people have created to overcome the limitations that a theatrical play has _ mainly of time and space.

But "The Magicians", filmed with one, long tracking shot, develops such limitations into its own "tricks" to tell a story of love and friendship.

The result is that you feel as if you were watching a 90-minute play yet with more of an intimate feeling for the characters as the camera tracks down the detailed change in their emotions.

Directed by Song Il-gon, the film revolves around the members of a music band, who gather at a bar to commemorate their late guitarist. It's been exactly three years since the band, named Magician, broke up after their friend died.

It is the last day of the year with snow covering all over the deserted forest of a rural town in Kangwon Province. Drummer Jae-sung (played by Jeong Woong-in) and bassist Myung-soo (Jang Hyeon-seong) wait for vocalist Ha-young to come to Jae-...

The problem with a sequel like "My Boss, My Teacher" ("Two-sabu ilchae") is that it's about the same characters and the elements of freshness are gone. The same gangsters attempt to score some academic points and help the society eliminate evil factors.

In the first installment of the gangster comedy back in 2001, Gae Doo-sik (Jeong Joon-ho) was forced to attend a high school and get away with at least the credentials to lead one of the country's leading gangster groups (these days, you have to be smart to be a gangster, and that's the key point).

At the end of the first piece "My Boss, My Hero", Doo-sik was given another order from his higher boss: go to college because the standard for gangster leaders has been raised.

That has laid out the basic premise for the sequel and in "My Boss, My Teacher", Doo-sik is attending college, something that he should be quite proud of. But he's not a good college student because his underling Sang-du (Jeong Woong-in) is taking classes and ...
