From Kim Min-jeong to Kang Soo-yeon, Best 5 child actors

2008/05/15 | Permalink |

The futures of many child stars were generally depressing.

The childish image and the weight of the years were obstacles for child stars to become adult actors.

But even among them, there are stars who have succeeded in transforming into adults. The IS Entertainment Team has picked out the best 5 actors who started out as child stars.

The first is the heroine of "New Heart", Kim Min-jeong.

Kim Min-jeong, who's charm comes from her big eyes, debuted in 1990 when she was eight, with MBC Best Theater "Widow". In 1992, she received the 'Child Actor Award' from KBS, received the 'Youth Award' in 1998, and received much love for her smart acting. Her official change to adult acting came in 2005 with the drama "Fashion 70s" and in 2006 with the movie "Forbidden Quest".

Especially in "Forbidden Quest", she had a daring exposure scene, and fully separated from her innocent, childish image.

The second is Moon Geun-yeong, who is transforming from the nation's younger sister to e...| More

Characteristic kiss scenes in dramas, "Calmi Cuori Appassionati"

2008/01/24 | Source | Permalink |

The kiss scenes are essential in a drama in describing the romantic relationships between the characters. Recently, the Wed-Thu dramas, "New Heart", "Robber" and "Hong Gil Dong" have shown interesting kiss scenes which doubled the shows' enjoyment. These kiss scenes are uniquely different in everyway as these dramas are, however the one common ground exists throughout is that they are all "Calmi Cuori Appassionati".

On 10th, in 9th episode of MBC "New Heart", the icy princess Hye-seok (Kim Min-jeong) and warm-hearted Eun-sung (Ji Seong) share a kiss. Hye-seok was in danger of being infected by an AIDS positive patient during a surgery. She became dispirited in fear of losing everything she have worked for and showed her tender mind to Eun-sung saying, "If I knew this was going happen (being infected by AIDS virus) I would have kissed a lot". Hereupon, Eun-sung boldly drew her to his arms and kissed her. The 'sweet bitter kiss' between the two people who represent "coldness" and "pa...| More

'New Heart' can't put life into old formula

2008/01/17 | Source | Permalink |

After hitting the top with its first episode, MBC's medical drama "New Heart" has kept its No. 1 spot in the ratings race. And it's showing no signs of slowing down.

With ratings at 25.9 percent (AGB Nielsen Media Research) following Wednesday's broadcast, up 1.4 percent from the previous episode, more and more viewers are tuning into "New Heart". Good news for MBC, bad news for KBS and SBS.

But the drama's success comes as no surprise. Medical dramas are all the rage in Korea. From America's "ER" and "Grey's Anatomy" to MBC's "White Tower" in 2007 and SBS' "Surgeon Bong Dal-hee" last year, medical dramas have been lighting up screens nationwide with great success over the past few years.

After all, who can resist handsome doctors in scrubs -- veritable modern-day heroes? Add to that the thrill of surgery in all its bloody, heart-pumping glory and a dash of humanity as doctors struggle to help patients, it's a wonder there's still time for some romance and family. There's no d...| More

New Medial Drama `New Heart' to Hit TV

The year 2007 was one of hit medical dramas like "White Tower" (MBC) and "Surgeon Bong Dal-hee" (SBS). Yet another medical drama, "New Heart", now brings the hospital back to the TV screens.

Director Park Hong-gyoon, who previously directed the hit drama "The Age of Heroes" (2004) and "So In Love" (2006), admitted some unease about adding another medical series to the list, but that he was taking slightly different approach, during a press conference Tuesday at a hospital in Seoul.

"While `Behind the White Tower' is about hospital politics and `Surgeon Bong Dal-hee' traces the emotional and professional growth of young doctors, `New Heart' will mainly focus on the medical field", he said. Park added that they avoided using the tripod in order to fully capture the realism of the surgery and characters in action.

"New Heart" differentiates itself from other medical dramas by focusing on heart surgeons. The drama captures the pa...| More
