Simultaneous production of drama and its theatrical version increases efficiency
Generalization of digital shooting breaks down barriers of human resources & technology
Respect of different ways of producing broadcast programs and movies brings higher efficiency

Combination of movie & TV drama continues to evolve. Exchange between Chungmuro, Korean equivalent to Hollywood, and Yeo-ui-do, hub of broadcasting networks, was born as filmmakers produced TV dramas and drama PDs made movies. The exchange has brought the boom of 'Cross Over' such as 'TV Movie' and 'Theatrical Version'. Recently, there is an increasing number of works whose two versions as TV drama and movie were simultaneously made even in the stage of planning. The film and broadcasting industries expect this kind of 'format convergence' to be a chance to increase efficiency and quality in each genre and call for thorough preparedness based on understanding of features that each medium has.

YANG IK-joon shot up the ranks of the international cinema world with his debut feature film Breathless. His second film is titled "Runaway from Home", and JI Jin-hee has been cast in the lead role. YANG will also act besides directing.

JI will team up with LEE Moon-sik. LEE will play a husband whose wife has run away. JI's character is the wife's brother. Together they set out to find her. The drama with touches of comedy should be gold in the hands of director YANG who handled "Breathless" perfectly.

"Breathless" – written, directed, produced, and acted by YANG – won a string of awards in Asia and Europe including the tiger award at 2009 International Film Festival Rotterdam. JI turned into a pan-Asian star through the hit television series "Jewel in the Palace" ("Dae Jang Geum"). He starred in LIM Sang-soo's "The Old Garden".
