Lee Sang-woo has transformed from Koo Se-ju to 'Joon'.Lee Sang-woo, who captured women's hearts in SBS "First Wives' Club", is attempting to capture female movie goers as an innocent, charming man in the movie "Beyond All Magic". If Koo Se-ju in "First Wives' Club" was the wealthy, good-looking, well-mannered, ideal man, the Lee Sang-woo in "Beyond All Magic" is the awkward charming boy you remember as your first love. Lee Sang-woo plays Joon, who provokes the evil intentions of three mother-daughter couples. With his lacking yet bright, uncorrupted spirit, he shows Nam-hee (Shin Hye-jin) the forgotten feelings of love, Kan-nan (Kim Soo-mi) the wonderful memories of her 20s, and Na-rae (Lee Da-hee) the importance of family. Interest for Lee Sang-woo comes from more than the three characters in the movie. After the press conference, the message board was filled with messages such as "Lee Sang-woo seems warm-hearted" and "His acting, body, and looks are all perfect". Kim ...| More | |||||||||
By Lee Hyo-wonStaff Reporter Cinema allows artistry to soar high and far, allowing reality to mix freely with products of far-fetched imagination. However, there exists a marked difference between being surreal and just plain baffling. While visually pleasing, "Delivering Love" ("Beyong All Magic"), the directorial debut of Jo Nam-ho, is, unfortunately, the latter. The movie thoroughly disappoints, particularly since it stars some of South Korea's biggest actresses like Shim Hye-jin and Kim Soo-mi. Unfolding in a rural village with scenic fruit plantations and quaint traditional houses, the film is a visual delight. A painter character does wonders to an old truck and other mundane spaces. But the film fails to keep the narrative on track and viewers will ultimately find themselves lost. If not, then you will be most likely be distracted by the intolerably cliched and corny script, which breaks the flow of the drama by inspiring giggles at all the wrong moments. Nam-hui (Sh...| 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 | |||||||||

Veteran actress Kim Soo-mi has expressed strong commitment to the new challenge of starring in a sitcom.At the production presentation of the new KBS daily sitcom 'Unstoppable Wedding' (produced by Lee Kyo-wook) on Thursday, she declared she would make all Korean viewers return home early from work to watch the drama. Kim said, "It's my first TV gig after years of comic roles in film. I'm enjoying the shoot, marked by laughters and many NGs. One thing regrettable is the early air time of 6:50 pm. But I will make 50 million Korean viewers to head home early to catch my drama". The sitcom is based on the film 'Unstoppable Marriage' released last year. The film's two leads Kim and actor Im Chae-woo were also cast for the sitcom. ...| More | |||||||||
