Director/writer RYOO Jang-ha makes his comeback after his 2004 "Springtime" (Kkotbineun Bomi Omyeon) featuring CHOI Min-sik, with the romantic drama Soonjeongmanwha (English translation: "pure comic strip") starring YOO Ji-tae and LEE Yeon-hee.

The film's about a thirty-year-old office employee and a female student who run into each other every morning at an elevator. Both are secretly in love with each other.

Filming commenced on the first day of April. The film is scheduled for a release in the fall. The romantic drama is produced by Let's Film.

Talented stars have been popular since high school. It is obvious that stars would graduate from art schools, such as Anyang Art High School, where "Rain", Se7en, Park Han-byeol graduated from, and Kaywon Art High School, where Hwang Jeong-min, Kim Ji-soo, and Jo Seung-woo graduated from. But there are also many stars who come from regular schools.

Suhmoon High School is the most prominent. Some graduates are Lee Hyo-lee, Han Ji-min of "Lee San", super model/actress Lee Hwa-seon, actress Park So-eun, and singer Lee So-eun. Lee Hyo-lee was popular with the guy students for her beauty and Han Ji-min received casting requests. Lee Seung-yeon, Jeong Kyeong-soon, and Oh Jee-hye are also alumni. A rival to this school is Eunkwang High School nearby. There are rumors that there were many guys who came to see Lee Jin, Song Hye-kyo, and Han Hye-jin.

Some graduates of Whimoon High are Shinhwa member Kim Dong-wan, actors like Lee Dong-geon, Yoo Ji-tae, Park Yong-woo, Han Jae-seok, Koo Bon-s...

It seems we will meet "Friend", which premiered in 2001 and drew 8 million viewers, on television.

The production company is planning to produce "Friend" as a drama, and director Kwak Kyung-taek will hold the megaphone once more. "Friend" drew a lot of popularity from the start, left many catchphrases, and allowed Jang Dong-gun to officially rise up in stardom.

Jang Dong-gun and Yoo Oh-seong starred with strong Pusan accents and captivated audiences with their acting. The drama will cast stars with other styles but the list, of course, includes top stars.

Who will be the actors who receive judgment for following in Jang Dong-gun and Yoo Oh-seong's footsteps?

We cannot exclude Jang Dong-gun, who has worked with Director Kwak Gyeong-tae in "Typhoon" and "Friend". However, it doesn't seem likely that Jang Dong-gun will star in the drama after starring in the movie.

Because many directors work with actors they've already worked with, there is a possibility of Joo Jin-mo, who...

Actor Yoo Ji-tae presents his third directorial piece, "Out of My Intention". Through the 24-minute film, the star of cult favorite "Old Boy" and romance flick "One Fine Spring Day" demonstrates an ability to orchestrate subtle emotions.

The film unfolds on the road one lazy summer afternoon. A weary middle-aged man (Lee Dae-yeon) drives listlessly, while a lovely young woman (Jo An) rides in the passenger seat, wearing a grim expression.

Though the baby-faced woman and necktie-clad man make an odd pair, a typical lover's quarrel is in progress. The woman desperately wants to talk things out, while the man remains silent, and their shaky relationship begins to falter.

Tracing the haunting remnants of long-lost amours, "Intention" takes viewers on a ride between the mundane and surreal. The middle-aged man is actually driving down memory lane. Their love died perhaps 20 years ago, but the moment he remembers her, he conjures her back to life. ...
