Staff Reporter Which will it be _ teenage love and friendship, or the real, yet humorous lives of ruthless lawyers? Television fans will now have the chance to explore the two different worlds with the new dramas "Friends, Our Story" on MBC and "The Partner" on KBS2. With heartthrobs Hyeon Bin and Kim Min-joon as the attractive, yet troubled protagonists, "Friends, Our Story" is the drama version of the mega-hit film "Friend" (2001). The sequel will offer the same dramatic plots revolving around teenage friends and move on to their love lives and other untold stories that were absent in the movie. In the film, top Korean actor Jang Dong-gun played the part of Hyeon Bin, and Yoo Oh-seong appeared as Kim. The movie-turned-drama was made possible after Kwak Gyeong-taek, the director of the film and now the drama, decided to bring the popular plot back, this time to television screens. "While I was thinking of how to make a drama out of a movie I worked on nin...| More | |||||||||

He told her, "I was dishonest. Now that I have really gotten to love you, divorce will not be an end but a new beginning. I want to divorce you so that I can start all over again with you. I want to be your real lover". Dong-baek was subjected to criticism from his sister as well as his colleagues and Ji-soo's fans, who even attacked him so severely that he had to be hospitalized. But all these obstacles made Dong-baek and Ji-soo love each other more, and they enjoyed dating secretly and spending other time together. In a press conference later to announce her divorce, Ji-soo confessed that she had married Dong-baek under a six-month contract but that she had real...| More | |||||||||

By Lee Hyo-wonStaff Reporter Park Kyung-ni's novels are considered to be classics, and the fact that her works are revived time after time onscreen is one proof of this. Screen adaptations for both movies and TV soap operas show the enduring quality of her work. Park's most celebrated novel "Toji, the Land" was adapted onscreen numerous times. It is often considered a timeless historical novel, and even a cartoon version was published last year. Told in five parts over 16 volumes, it portrays the social climate of the early 20th century. But tracing the lives, loves and sorrow of peasants and nobilities, "Land" features universal themes that still appeal to people today. The story appeared as a movie in 1974, starring veteran actor Lee Soon-jae. It inspired three television soaps in 1979, 1986 and 2004 respectively. The latest version was particularly significant as it followed the publication of the fifth and final episode of the epic work in 1994. The SBS drama was a b...| More | |||||||||
