 More than six million moviegoers have flocked to see "Take Off" since its release on July 30, an impressive tally for a locally produced flick during its first month in theaters.But the Korean natural disaster blockbuster "Haeundae", which was released at about the same time, has stolen much of the limelight, attracting a record 10 million viewers. Still, "Take Off" is pulling off a come-from-behind win of sorts, posting higher ticket sales than its bigger competitor for three consecutive weeks. It's a fitting development for a movie that focuses on defying the odds and accomplishing the seemingly impossible. And perhaps no one is more pleased with its success - aside from those making money from it, of course - than members of Korea's actual national ski jumping team, which is the focus of the film. "I saw the movie with the utmost interest", Kim Heung-soo, the current 29-year-old coach of the team, said in a recent interview with the JoongAng Sunday. "I was eager to see...| More | ||||||||

"Bad Guys Sleep Better" is a teen movie about standing up against crime. Jo An will take on the character of Hye-kyeong a bright and strong girl who lives with optimism and courage despite the unfortunate and discouraging circumstances. ...| More | ||||||||

 It seemed that Kim Heung-soo had a lot of worries. During the whole interview, he spoke slowly and chose his words carefully. I thought his answer to a question was over so I would be thinking of the next question, but his answer would continue. It was like listening to a 'never-ending story'. If Jae-su, the youngest son in "More Beautiful Than a Flower" were to grow a little more, he would have been like him."I'm not very good at lying. I told you the truth about everything so you pick and choose". After taking a break after 2005 SBS "Princess LuLu", he came back with MBC weekend drama "Ggak-du-gi". In the beginning of this year, he also starred in three other works, including movie "Hellcats", "Like Father, Like Son", MBC season drama "Special Investigation Team". Because of his busy schedule, he wasn't able to publicize "Like Father, Like Son" well, and he felt unfortunate for that. "Special Investigation Team" was a season drama that ended on the 29th, and it was the last...| More | ||||||||

In late April, Iron Man arrived in the Korean cinema, smashing the box office into very profitable pieces. In mid-May, Prince Caspian took the baton and kept up the pressure on Korean competitors. Last weekend, whip-wielding Indy joined the Hollywood-only party, roped in plenty of movie tickets sales.
The bombardment of Hollywood films dragged down the share of Korean films to a record low. But the bleak development was widely predicted since only a couple of new Korean releases were made. June might be slightly different, as eight Korean movies are set for release. "Girl Scout", directed by Kim Sang-man, will hit theaters on June 5, featuring well-known actors such as Kim Seon-ah, Nah Moon-hee, Lee Kyeong-sil. The film will test whether the audiences still have an appetite for a chase-the-money drama with fewer funny moments than publicized. Waiting in line for the June 12 release are four Korean films: "Life is Cool", "Beyond All Magic", "Spare" and "Like Father, Like Son". ...| More | ||||||||

The first episode of "Special Investigations Unit" aired on April 13, 2008 at 11:40 pm and attracted a sizable audience, reaching 6.4% (Seoul metropolitan area, TNS) of all viewers, getting off to a smooth start.
The 6.4% viewership rating is higher than the ratings for the last episode of "Before and After" that aired on March 30, 2008 and this is a favorable sign that "Special Investigations Unit" will build up a solid audience base. Gong Chul-soo (actor Kim Heung-soo), the new employee at an insurance company, is sent to investigate the site of a fire accident in episode 1 of "Special Investigations Unit" and drew glowing comments from viewers. After the episode aired, various comments were posted on the show's website. One viewer said, "Each character has interesting personalities, which made it interesting to watch!" Another viewer commented that, "It was better than I expected". "You must produce a second season for this show", one viewer gushed". The eclectic mix of person...| More | ||||||||
